review

Miss Hap was on hand at the R-Bar, interjecting between songs with lively banter and giving Terry a run for his money! Eurovision on a big screen being personally hosted by a local drag queen is obviously the way forward!

Eurovision 2008 in Brighton

Eurovision 2008 in Brighton

Tonight was Eurovision Song Contest night, surely a highlight in any self-respecting gay man or woman's diary. So it was that Huw and I spend Saturday afternoon fashioning lederhosen out of an old pair of shorts and wondering whether onions or garlic bulbs were easier to string. Not that we were plummeting to the depths of Euro stereotypes at all!

Secreted away upstairs at the Bulldog you'll find some decent sized screenage... perfect for karaoke words of course... but also perfect for showing the Eurovision Song Contest!

The flags were out, the terraces packed and inside everyone was glued to the big screens for the run-down of campery that is Eurovision!

The PV held their annual screening of Eurovision on their flatscreen and staff were sporting Terry Wogan teeshirts to get everyone into the Eurovision spirit.

Just because a bar doesn't have a big widescreen telly doesn't mean that it should be excluded from the Eurovision fun! Tonight Sally Vate and Cherry Poppin took punters at The Zone for a trip down Eurovision memory lane singing us classicst like Puppet on a String... Making your Mind Up... and lots more gems! The audience was invited to vote for their favourite Eurovision song! Love it!

about R-Bar

Just a stone's throw from the pier and right in the middle of it all, R-Bar is a spacious, relaxing place to meet at any time of day, with plenty of opportunity for people-watching. Recently taken over by Revenge, it is perfectly placed for pre-club drinking.

The next R-Bar date for your diary:

Tuesday, 7th October
LGBrighton Freshers' Pubcrawl @ St James' Street
