What a truly fabulous night out!
Two of us got dressed to kill and headed for an evening of cabaret, we'd treated ourselves to a groupon offer which, for £27.50 gave us a three course meal, a glass of prosecco and an evening filled with entertainment.
The food was preordered which made the service super slick but our waitresses were also engaging, friendly, helpful and super hot! They were all beautiful.
After the cabaret and burlesque performances, a dance floor was rested in the centre of the room and it was instantly filled.
It is a perfect venue for hen dos and birthday parties. We had such a fun night and I can't wait to go back again.
We are a group of 84 people who are in Brigthon at a conference and were advised to contact Proud Cabare even though they have normally closed on Tuesdays. And they stood up for dinner and a slightly amputated show, but they made the evening great for us. Great food and nice show. can really be recommended.

I'm in a 5-star mood today as I'm dishing out top marks to Proud Cabaret. It's always my go to place to give out-of-towners a Brighton experience to remember and it never disappoints.
So named after founder Alex Proud, it's suitably apt for its positioning in Brighton's gay community of Kemp Town. Rightly so, they should be proud as they deliver a wonderfully saucy package of food and fun.
A three-course dinner, a singing compere and six glamorous performances from the three racy headliners makes for nearly four hours of fun, followed by a party 'til the early hours if you've got real staying power. Some may wince at the £34-£49 package deal, but you can catch their 2-4-1 offers on their website or Groupon to get a bargain night out. Expect restaurant prices on the booze though!
It does attract hen dos and birthday parties looking for a more sumptuous experience so it may not be for you if you prefer a more subdued affair. Wicked laughter is often the soundtrack of the evening.
Most recently, they've upped their performers and their portions so that your eyes and belly are more than satisfied. If you're super flash then you can go all Gatsby and hire out the entire place for private events. I wouldn't mind an invite!
Probably the best looking venue in the city, The Proud Cabaret is quite the establishment.
Over time, I have seen burlesque, Elvis (impersonator), Brazillian samba, Martha Wainwright and good old fashioned rock and/or roll here.
For kicking your heels up or just enjoying the show & fine food and drink, Proud Cabaret is another fine reason to venture out of town and into Kemptown.
I love proud - and have been to several events hosted there. only down side are ladies loos ...always crowed as usual for anywhere but bad door placement, and the bar is in rather inconvenient space at the top of the stairs and seemingly always understaffed (usually only ever 2 poor sods) the events are usually packed which makes for a great vibe but i recommend having a few drinks at home before you go so you don't mind the wait for the bar!
This might well be the smallest music venue in Brighton, but what lacks in size, it certainly makes up for on charm. Most people will have sat in bedrooms bigger than The Hanbury, but the intimate nature really adds to the atmosphere.
I watched Mr Hudson here last summer, the close proximity of the audience and performers meant that the whole place was electric. The retro decor is extremely impressive, far removed from the grimey venues that normally house such small gigs.
The glass dome ceiling and eccentric wall paper make this a fantastic venue for any occasion. The bar here is also very good, as is the food on offer. This was formerly a 'members only' club, but the decision to allow the general public entry is certainly our gain.
Located along George Street, the beautiful building considered 'the jewel of Kemptown' has had an array of awards bestowed on their cocktails delights, and against the elegant backdrop of luxurious rooms and a magnificent glass dome it's the perfect setting for cocktail grandeur. The list starts at £7 but the extensive menu offers indulgence of the highest kind, and particularly recommended are the Hanbury Spring Punch and the Cool Geyser. But if they don't quite take your fancy, custom cocktail creations are made on request. The award winning cocktails continue over at the affiliated Blanche House, clearly they're doing something right!
Currently closed, the Hanbury Club is one of the most beautiful venues in Brighton, perhaps too pretty for Brightons drinking habits hence the closure in late 2009. It is a shame because there were some very cool nights here, and the venue was given the most fantastic makeover by the previous owners. Perhaps it just failed to find its niche, plus it's a way out of town so perhaps not in the greatest spot for Brighton 's impulsive revelers that head for the water as if the ocean itself would soothe their thirsty souls. We await with baited breath for what the new owners will do with the place.

Shaped like some distant third or fourth cousin of the Taj Mahal (well, it has a domed roof!) the Hanbury Club is situated in far away Kemp Town. However, the Hanbury consistently pulls out the stops to make its patrons happy. Whether this means offering live music, comedy, cabaret or film nights, there is a great diversity to their programme and subsequently those who visit. The last time I went there was to a girl pop night, which was a baffling experience where 80% of the attendees were female. This meant an atmosphere free of excess testosterone was created and I was just able to dance and dance and dance. I have also been to film nights, where the venue seems like a completely different place. But that's the great thing about the Hanbury - it is diverse and versatile and well worth the bus/taxi fare to Kemp Town. It is not particularly cheap and the location isn't great, unless you are my friend who can see it from his doorstep. But these are literally the only negatives and there had to be some: nowhere is perfect.
Amazingly talented performers!
We came for a Hen do and had the best time, Dolly rocket had us in stitches all night and had us singing our hearts out! Amberlina has the most incredible strength the whole group was in awe and Dave had the whole package including a great singing voice. Overall we had the best night!!! Perfect for Hens, birthdays or nights out with the girls.
We had a great night out and lots of laughs. I've read some of the bad reviews and think they're very unfair. Dolly was hilarious and very entertaining. Service was brilliant. All of the charges were stated in their t&c's so there were no surprises. We would go again. Thanks for a great night!
Wonderfully inappropriate! We had a riot, the entertainment was rude, glitzy and very funny. Our host Dolly Rocket, was superb and in the very best tradition of British Drag, echos of Doris Dockyard and Phil Starr. Our staff Christmas party was so much fun. BTW you do eat but the logistics of feeding so many at the same time make the food offering limited. But you don't go to this hilarious night out for the grub 😅
Amazing service, really good acts. Food was terrible and only saw 2 burlesque acts (from the same person) . Would have liked to have to seen more burlesque for the money. But overall for the price is was a fun night out.
Amazing show. The food is good, and I drink a little bit pricey. I had a great night.
What an amazing show !
We were there with friends during a Saturday afternoon for a show with lunch
Staff are so friendly and nice
Delicious cocktails and free cosmopolitan drinks serve a lot of time
The show was amazing with 6 different characters with 4 different passages during the show
Jamies the youngest of this team sings incredibly well and is very talented
The building is just amazing who can guess that inside is totally surprising !
Excellent evening of entertainment in intimate venue with a very high level of customer service. We visited the Friday night show arriving approx 10 mins ahead of the 6.30pm opening. There was a small queue which moved quickly. We were shown to our table and given our complimentary cocktail. There is an extensive drinks menu,it is a bit pricey but the table service was great. The food was fine but it’s not huge portions so if you have an appetite order a side. The entertainment was varied,funny and really good. Dolly was a superb host we has a great night out.
This venue is just exquisite!
From the amazing door staff as you walk in, to the fantastic table staff who look after you very well, the amazing food and drink on offer and just the general coolness of the entire venue.
Then there is the performers... Mind bogglingly talented human beings who throw everything into their performance and leave you electrified!
Cannot thank you enough for giving me the best 40th birthday a man could possibly have and thank you even more for being exclusively you.
Cannot rate this venue highly enough. I hope to come back for many years to come. Bloody love you guys X
Having a fantastic night at Proud Cabaret! The staff are brilliant, the drinks are delicious and the show is very professional and sexy! A great birthday night out 🎉
Great night out in Brighton! We went for a hen party and the best night! Many thanks to Sorcha who was fantastic and provided great service throughout the night! Thoroughly recommend foe a fun and entertaining night out!
Sorcha was our see her and she was absolutely wonderful.
The drag show was amazing, absolutely hilarious and entertaining, the atmosphere was electric, everyone wanting the show. Would highly recommend!!!!!
Pros: good fun, good food and what you expect for £80pp!
Cons : Not much drag and very little food - add some more vodka to the punch and a bit more food - and it would be be sound!
A lovely evening spent in good company, with a lovely 3 course dinner (I loved the jaffa cheesecake at the end!) and an amazing show. I loved the hula hooping on fire! If you want a truly unique night out with some amazingly talented variety performers and some inspired original cocktails, this is definitely the place to go.
Fantastic experience, funny entertaining, great value for money. If you visit Brighton you gotta do this. Fabulous Ella kept us topped up with cocktails, delicious food, a great afternoon!!!!
Wonderful show with such enthusiastic performers. Our Waitress Pheobe was very attentive and looks ed after us all night! Great music, delicious food, exciting performers and I won Drag Bingo and got a free shot!
