The Curtain Club
In the 1960s, along with many gay friends, I frequented the Spotted Dog pub in Middle Street. But when ‘The Dog’ called last orders, many of the regulars would quickly slip through the twittens – Ship Street Gardens and Jet Lion Lane – to get to the Curtain Club which was situated underneath the Queens Hotel.
A labyrinthine design
The club was labyrinthine, comprising two block areas and a disco/dance floor. It was accessed from King’s Road, through an arcade-like entrance and then descending downstairs to the bars. To the right was a miniature bar area with hushed music. To the left one accessed the twist area and off this there was another hallway that lead to a noisier bar area.
You had to eat supper
It was designated as a ‘supper club’ and you had to pay to obtain in. For the entrance fee you were given a supper ticket – which you had to exchange for a ghastly supper. That was how it was in those days. You had to eat the supper too, as it was a legal requirement that enabled the club to help alcohol, play music and stay open till 1 am.
No close dancing allowed
By nowadays
Brighton is one of the most popular cities in the UK for gay travellers, known as the gay capital of the South (rivalling London) so it’s no surprise that there are many amazing gay bars in Brighton to choose from!
Whether you prefer a gay pub, male lover bar, gay club or homosexual cruising club, Brighton has something for everyone.
The majority of male lover bars in Brighton are all within walking distance of each other (much like in Manchester, the gay capital of the North!) centred around the same-sex attracted area of Brighton also established as the gay village of Brighton. We found that on a night out in Brighton, the entire LGBTQ+ spectrum was represented, more so than many other places we have been!
