 Multi-lane 10-pin bowling complex |
Marina Way Brighton Marina Brighton, East Sussex BN2 5UF United Kingdom +44 1273 818 180 http://www.bowlplexuk.com/bowl... |
Bowlplex is a complete entertainment complex incorporating 26 bowling lanes, including children's bumper lanes, sports bar and grill, American pool pit, video world and dance floor. The accent is on family fun and the atmosphere is definitely one of chilling out and enjoying a little friendly competition. The late licensed bar serves reasonably palatable food.

 Colonial chic |
3/4 Duke St The Lanes Brighton, East Sussex BN1 1AH United Kingdom +44 1273 32 3501 http://www.browns-restaurant.com |
Browns has been a favourite local restaurant for well over ten years - its eclectic well-presented food and relaxed atmosphere continues to pull in the crowds. The decor at Browns creates a fresh and exclusive feel. Light wooden floors and pale walls are separated by a generous interjection of palm trees that takes its diners back to the colonial era. One thing about Browns is that you can always rely on the menu to include some good staple pasta, salad and meat-dishes. Prices for main courses tend to hover around the £10 level, but servings are generous, often making a starter superfluous. Service is attentive and friendly, although some of the waiters can get a little stressed during the busy periods. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Glorious fish |
29-31, East Street (The Lanes) Brighton, East Sussex BN1 1HL United Kingdom +44 1273 32 7980 http://www.englishs.co.uk |
Set at the edge of a quaint square in The Lanes, this could well be a contender for the best Brighton restaurant. If a full blown gourmet meal is not your preferred choice, the small but stylish oyster bar, annexed to the restaurant, has space at the counter for about six diners. The menu is rather traditional with Dover sole, Grilled Tuna and lobster high on the list. The quality is excellent and the service attentive, making the whole dining experience a real joy.

Feasts for friends |
17-18 Prince Albert St The Lanes Brighton, East Sussex BN1 1HF United Kingdom +44 1273 20 2310 http://www.foodforfriends.com |
This locals' favourite restaurant has an airy feel from the many tall windows and bright, green walls. Parents can rest assured that children are most welcome in this warm and friendly find. They have an excellent self-service selection of pick 'n' mix salads, bakes, pasta and rice dishes, and a collection of roasted/stuffed/fried vegetables of all kinds. The food here is exclusively vegetarian and vegan, and if you have diabetes, an allergy, or are on a gluten-free diet, then there's something on the menu for you. There is a healthy selection of organic wines, beers, ciders and soft drinks. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Beach party time |
127-132 King's Road Arches Brighton, East Sussex BN1 2FN United Kingdom |
Set under the Arches right next to the beach, Gemini's is one of the many bars/clubs jostling for attention from large groups of twenty-something students and party crowds that congregate in Brighton each weekend. Like many of its local counterparts, Gemini's is all about garage and hard house - so if your cup of tea edges more towards disco - look elsewhere! Bottled beers and ready-mixed alcoholic drinks are most popular with the clientele - presumably as dancing with a glass of wine or pint of beer requires much better balancing skills. Snacks are also available for the hungry party-goer. Prices are reasonable and in line with most of the competition, with bottled beers just over the £2-mark. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 A home from home |
124 Kings Rd Brighton, East Sussex BN1 2FA United Kingdom +44 1273 32 6302 http://www.granvillehotel.co.uk |
Just a few yards down the road from the luxurious The Grand, lies the far more individual Granville Hotel. Expect a warm welcome, whether it be from the owners or from their very cute cat and dog. Each room is individually designed, with the Balcony Room at the front of the building being the epitome of luxury, fully fitted with a jacuzzi bath. The service is discreet (so discreet you often have to go down to the bar to pick up your own drinks!) and all adds up to a relaxing stay in this vibrant city. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Picturesque heart of old Brighton |
East Street Brighton United Kingdom +44 (0)1273 29 2589 (Tourist Information) |
This series of narrow alleys and cobbled streets make up the oldest and most historic part of Brighton. One of Brighton's most popular attractions, The Lanes are where you can wander, window-shop and watch the buskers, enjoy a meal in one of the many bistros, cafes and restaurants, or have a drink in one of the excellent pubs in the area. It is also famous for its antique and jewellery shops, as well as a number of fashionable clothes shops. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Pizzas with pazzaz |
22 Prince Albert Street The Lanes Brighton, East Sussex BN1 1HF United Kingdom +44 1273 32 3205 http://www.pizzaexpress.co.uk |
A firm favourite across the whole country, Pizza Express always satisfies and rarely disappoints. If the comfort of a nationwide chain, but with plenty of individuality is for you, look no further. The decor is sleek and chic, with clean modern lines throughout. Despite dark flooring; the strategic lighting and bright touches gives the interior a warm, but elegant feel. In some branches (Hove), the pizzas are prepared and cooked in an open plan kitchen so you can see what is going on. As far as clientele goes, it attracts just about everyone but seems particularly popular with the younger generation. My personal favourite is the American Hot, fabulous succulent pepperoni, with a beautifully crisp base. Add a drizzle of their spicy oils and hey presto! Of course, the selection of Italian and French wines will help to put out the heat. The branch at Church Road, Hove, has jazz music sessions at 7:30p every Tuesday. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Late Night Lounge |
9-12 Middle St The Lanes Brighton, East Sussex BN1 1AL United Kingdom +44 1273 74 9465 |
Sumo is another one of Brighton's trendy bars and with its futuristic decor, weekend DJs and garage music, it's unlikely to disappoint. The walls are gunpowder grey, the spiky walls orange and the furnishing white. The ground floor houses an Internet cafe with ISDN terminals and printing facilities. Internet access costs approximately £2 per hour to customers using the bar. There are also two Playstation consoles should you wish to shoot some baddies. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Fantastic meatless dishes |
71 East Street Brighton BN1 1HQ United Kingdom +44 (0)1273 72 9051 http://www.terreaterre.co.uk |
This vegetarian restaurant has achieved national acclaim for its fine cuisine. Unlike many vegetarian restaurants, Terre a Terre presents dishes that are made with a light, sophisticated touch. The decor is chic and modern, but takes on an altogether more romantic tone with candles and dimmed lighting in the evening. The food is simply superb—it is beautifully presented, the Twice Baked Camembert Soufflé is divine. This is a deservedly popular restaurant. Be sure to book in advance. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Marina cinema multiplex |
Marina Village Brighton Marina Brighton, East Sussex BN2 5UF United Kingdom +44 0871 200 2000 http://www.ugccinemas.co.uk |
A giant beast of a multiplex out in Brighton Marina. This frankly ugly building is where you can come and see all your favourite Hollywood blockbusters. The place has the added advantage of showing films at the civilised hour of 9pm-9.30pm giving you a chance to get dressed up or down depending on the film. Tickets £5 upwards. See local press for details of films being shown or call the cinema. Call for programme details. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Britain's first electric railway |
285 Madeira Drive Brighton BN2 1EN United Kingdom +44 1273 29 2718 / +44 (0)1273 68 1061 |
Built and opened in 1883 by local inventor Magnus Volk, this was the first public electric railway in the UK. It runs from Brighton Pier to Black Rock, near Brighton Marina, considerably more than its original quarter-mile journey. The track is right next to the beach and it is a lovely little ride along the seafront in open-sided carriages. A long running and ever popular attraction. Review © 2007, Wcities |
