The Paris House (listed here as Le Pub / The Paris House) is a French-styled cafe-bar on the Brighton-Hove border at 21 Western Road, Hove (BN3 1AE), with live music at its very core. Free live Gypsy Jazz plays every Saturday 4-7pm, and the weekly programme spans French chanson, swing, blues, world and jazz-fusion across Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday slots. It serves sharing platters, French wines and European beers — and because the staff are musicians themselves, impromptu performances are part of the charm. A small, characterful, jazz-led grassroots room rather than a band-gig venue.

Le Pub (The Paris House) is a French-styled cafe-bar on the Brighton-Hove border with live music at its very core. The venue's own site lists a fortnightly open-mic night alongside a monthly quiz, a monthly jazz jam and DJs on Friday and Saturday nights - and, as they put it, all of their staff are musicians too. Because it runs every other week rather than weekly, check their listings before you travel, and note that the venue does not publish which night of the week it falls on.
What else is on
Free live gypsy jazz every Saturday, 4pm-7pm, plus sharing platters, French wines and a wide selection of European beers and ciders.
