The Font occupies a former 17th-century chapel in Brighton's South Lanes, on Union Street — a striking two-tier space with a sweeping circular bar and original wooden pulpits overlooking the floor. Relaxed by day, it turns into a party bar at night with DJs, live sport, quiz nights and themed weekenders. Live music runs every Friday and Saturday from 9:45pm, with a rotating roster of local acts (Dessie Magee, MJ Reavey, Dave J Giles, Christian Cooley and Alfie among them), and there's karaoke every Thursday from 9pm till midnight. A central, lively grassroots music spot that programmes covers and original sets alike.
