[Brighton] Soho House will be opening late Summer

Live by the sea · Mar 27, 2021

According to an interview done in Dec last year with the Telegraph with owner Nick Jones , Soho House is still going to open in Brighton in late summer .

Weeeh , can’t wait . About time Brighton had a cool upmarket members club . Has it ever had one in previous years ?

Sussex Arts Club in the 90s (in the building that's now Pub du Vin in Ship Street), had aspirations in that direction - not sure it ever really worked, however.

You can’t be that cool and upmarket if nobody has invited you to the other clubs.......

An idea was floated for The Hanbury Ballroom about 15yrs ago. I got approached as a friend of a friend of the people behind it with 'preferential' membership terms but the idea of paying £500 a year (something like that) to hang out with estate agents and sundry other shit coke tossers didn't really appeal. Don't know if it went ahead.

Blanch House was behind this, didn’t last long.

Brighton had numerous “members” bars before licensing laws relaxed. They were basically late night drinking dens, almost always in basements off roads from the beach and generally a very weird mix of people.

Back jn the late 90's I used such a bar in regency square. It was called the Banana bar and a lot of its custom came from us workers across the road at a casino. We became a little too regular when he gave us the keys to let ourselves in at 5:00 in the morning after finishing our late shifts. &#55357;&#56833;

I've had this conversation with hitony

Sid Minter had a club in Brunswick (or was it Bedford) Square in the 80's. Scary wouldn't have done it justice

I suspect Soho house will be in a different league to the examples posted here . You can’t just pay £1500 pa to be a member , you have to work in the arts in some way & be seconded .

Shit coke tossers is a wonderful expression which captures them so well. Bravo.

I recall just such a place in Queens Square. Would have been mid 90’s. Unfortunately my memory of it is somewhat hampered by the amount booze consumed there. Was definitely in a basement of one of the houses on the opposite side from the taxi rank.

Anyone remember it or have I dreamt it up?

100% of Soho House members that I’ve come across in life have been absolute, weapons grade, platinum c***s. Funnily enough, their opinion of themselves is very different.

This was the Linden Club in Waterloo Street and I lived opposite. Special Branch regularly kept watch on who went in and out, even renting the flat next door at one stage.

Funny - that place I think is a members club but it’s out in Brooklyn - when I lived in NY I never left Manhattan, why would you . All the best things about the city are all in Manhattan. It would be the equivalent of saying you love Brighton but went out in the evening to Saltdean etc . Would be weird .
