Dead Wax Social is a vinyl-led bar and small live room tucked into Brighton's North Laine at 18A Bond Street, named after the run-out groove of a record and built around a high-fidelity setup that spins every track from vinyl. Beyond the DJs and cocktails, the venue runs a real grassroots music programme — weekly music quizzes, open-mic nights and a regular Thursday Greenhouse Jam with the Cashgreen & Green House Band, plus late-night DJ sessions Friday and Saturday. The Live Room's small stage, dedicated sound system and moody lighting make it a popular spot for live music, comedy and showcases, and the whole venue is available for private hire. Open until 2-3am most nights.
