Volks Club

Head down to Madeira Drive on a Friday night and you'll find Volks Club pumping. It's one of those places that's been pulling in Brighton crowds for years because it gets the fundamentals right: decent DJs, a proper sound system, and enough space that you're not wedged against someone's armpit all night. The multi-level setup means you can escape upstairs if the main floor's too rammed, or find a quieter corner to actually chat. It's got that brilliant seafront location too—stumble out and you're practically on the pebbles.
