Date ideas in East Sussex
Here are our top picks for date ideas near you.Bohemia Brighton
Dine or drink at this Grand Cafe. If you’re a night owl - or your date goes on at length - the Late Lounge will accommodate you into the wee small hours. Sip on champagne in the Veuve Cliquot rooftop garden - it’s a sun trap in summer and great for snuggling by a heater in winter. Do try the Hidden Depths cocktail!Komedia
For those wanting some entertainment and guaranteed laughs, head to a comedy club. It’s a bit less intense than a dinner or drinks date and gives you plenty to talk about in the breaks. Komedia is considered to be one of the best places for live comedy in the south. But a word of warning - don’t sit on the front row unless you want to be picked on by the host!

If you’re in the market for something quite different, this takes some beating. Bring a bottle of liquor and smuggle it past the ‘wardens’ at this prison-themed speakeasy bar. You’ll don an orange jumpsuit, take a seat in a metal barred cell and immerse in this theatrical drinking experience as the staff spin your spirit into decadent cocktails.The Tempest Inn
Fancy a daytime date? It’s often more chilled than meeting after dark at the weekend and you can still enjoy a bevvy or two.

It’s right on the waterfront with a large outdoor terrace for some rejuvenating sea air and fantastic views.Brighton Zip
Are you an adrenaline junkie and want to add some thrills to your first date? Ride a 300-metre zip-line over Brighton beach. Or take a freefall ride at Zip’s Drop Zone. You can get a video of your experience for posterity, as well as snacks and drinks on site.Dead Wax Social at the Lanes
