Black Dove
WHERE
Brighton
What it’s like
A live music bar in Brighton open seven days from mid-afternoon into the night, for gig nights rather than the kids.
This one's for the adults. Black Dove is a live music spot in Brighton, the sort of place you'd head to for a gig and a few drinks rather than a family afternoon out. There's no age policy listed that suggests children are part of the plan here, so treat it as a grown-up night out.
The doors open around 2ish and stay open late, seven days a week, which gives you a decent window whether you fancy an early evening drink before a gig or a proper late one. That kind of spread means you can turn a gig night into a whole evening without watching the clock too closely.
There's no booking link listed, so it looks like the sort of venue where you turn up rather than reserve ahead, though it's worth bearing in mind for anything that might be busier, like a popular band night. Beyond the hours and the live music focus, the details are thin on the ground, so go in expecting a proper music bar atmosphere rather than a checklist of amenities.
