 North Laine hang-out |
10 Kensington Gardens North Laine Brighton, East Sussex BN1 4AL United Kingdom +44 1273 68 4426 |
This is a trendy upstairs bar/restaurant with a balcony overlooking North Laine. Good, quite loud music is played after 8p, with live DJs playing reggae, funk and hip hop on different nights. Hence, this is an extremely fun bar. The food is quite eclectic, with Mexican and pasta as specialties, although the quality is a bit hit and miss. They have Carlsberg, Guinness and Calders on tap and a selection of bottled beers/alcopops, as well as a healthy selection of amusingly named and tasty cocktails. Review © 2007, Wcities |

For a starter, try Santa Fe Skins consisting of crisp potato skins with a topping of your choice. Main courses include quesadillas, burritos, fajitas, chillies, beanburgers, steaks and ribs. Who could resist warm blueberry muffins with cold ice cream? For those with smaller stomachs there is a children's menu at only £3.50. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Brighton's No.1 Mex-Tex diner |
47 Preston Street Brighton, East Sussex BN1 2HP United Kingdom +44 1273 32 5275 http://www.digintheribs.co.uk |
Established for over 10 years, Dig In the Ribs continues to provide excellent Tex-Mex food in a noisy setting. Expect a lively crowd, especially at weekends. Be warned, all meals are enormous and a starter could be quite filling in itself. Choose from Texas Cob, Potato Scoops or Nachos Platos - a king-size plate of corn chips accompanied by refried beans, salsa, sour cream and guacamole. The choice is endless, ranging from ribs, chicken and steaks to burritos, fajitas, and tacos. Desserts are delicious. The restaurant is very child friendly and will liquidise, sterilise or just serve up the kid's menu for them. Review © 2007, Wcities |
