The Zone Bar

A small but buzzing cabaret bar with karaoke nights..drag,guest singers & bingo even! Nice crowd, Great staff and wide range of spirits..the shots ain't bad either!

Went to ask to use a charger of theirs for a few minutes whilst my phone came back on, but refused to help as ‘their iPads’ need the charger right now. I felt judged and looked down upon when I walked in anyway so I should have expected it. It’s absolutely disgusting that an establishment that screams about safety for queer folk cannot even protect their lesbian friends who need to get home safely and this was during the day.

I was on my own, Sat 10 May 2025 and was made very welcome by the lovely lady behind the bar (wonderful eye make up!) very friendly and chatty (I was in full leathers for another event) Davina Sparkle was on stage, also very chatty, friendly and seriously funny! A wonderful start to my night out in Brighton. Paul.

This place is one of my favourite places in brighton. It has a great community and the staff are lovely, Skye the bartender is brilliant, she is fun, friendly and makes everyone feel welcome. Thursday karaoke hosted by Alex is always a highlight of my week, she is a great host, and she makes everyone feel comfortable on stage! Also, the drinks are well priced as well, which I'm sure is the main question.

Excellent only been in it once before. Little st James street gem reminds me of what Brighton was back in the 90s when I discovered it.
