The Haunt brighton

Good sound and the promoters they work with put on some great nights. Barmen made a racket during some quiet moments however, which they lose a point for.

Great small nightclub/ music venue! It does get quite cramped, but for students, good cheap bevs make up for it! One downside however is the bouncers. They are rather rude and abusive for no real reason and that totally ruined my experience when singled out. After it got very crowded, I was pushed onto the usually open stage; where 3 guys and a bouncer were already. The bouncer asked me to get off, and I asked him politely why the other 3 were up there as I walked off the stage. Next thing I know, the big guy has pushed me off the stage, telling me that I need to leave, and into my mates; hurting one of them as I fell into them. I cooperated and left with the bouncer following behind me. I spoke with the manager, who kind of apologised about the matter but would not let me back in as it would annoy the bouncer. I understand the protocol, but I meant no harm and caused no harm and was wrongly pushed several times by the bouncer even though I was cooperative. I love the haunt so to be treated like this was a real downer on what was supposed to be a great warm up for my birthday next week back at the haunt. That may change unless I get an apology.

Most disgusting club I've ever been in, didn't want to touch a single thing. The place is falling apart and the toilets don't look like they've been cleaned since 1985. No hot water, soap or anything to dry your hands with. Grim.

Make sure you get there early to any gigs, or you'll be stood at the back under the noisy air conditioning unit and balcony. Sound is ok, bar is pretty atrocious. Range of bands they have on is pretty good.

Great atmosphere, friendly door/bar staff, well priced and a great night out

The haunt is a fantastic semi-intimate venue. The atmosphere is always bouncing for gigs and normal nights are fun. One of the eBay venues for live music in Brighton.

Some great bands play here. A pleasently dark and atmospheric venue that is not afraid to play music loud!

Was Okey, night not what was advertised thou said it would be classics and current mix but was more just dub really loud which is fine but not what was advertised so don't set your expectations on the event description. Also if you do go take cash they don't say but it's cash only and then they make you use a cash machine you have to pay for.
