| Club name | The Gloucester |
| Location | East Sussex |
| Town | Brighton |
| Street Address/Directions | London road |
| Description | Hmm, well this is one for when desperate, or if you absolutely must go somewhere after the pub, principally on a Thursday. Then you may find the odd fellow goth, an isle amongst the sea of Nu metallers, Indies and other trendies attending. |

| Despite the music, Sindrome on Tuesdays can be fun if you're with a group of friends, primarily due to the ridiculously cheap bar prices - £1.50 a pint and 50p a shot of vodka. Apart from that, the crowd are generally laid-back and friendly, though, obviously, mainly metallers. |

| Better selection of goffik stuff on a thursday nite, DJ Angel does a reasonably good set, but they tend to play a lot of the same stuff each week. I've never had a bad night there either. |

| The Gloucester has now been refitted inside -I haven't been in there yet but apparently its a lot slicker now with a raised stage for bands to play. Although I'm not sure I like the idea of the Gloucester losing its slightly grubby ambience, I am keen on the addition of a medium-sized venue, numbers of which brighton is sadly lacking in. |

| The Thursday night Yearz2K/Metal Playground thing doesn't exist anymore. I think they have live bands on Thursdays instead now, but probably no one good so far.... |

| There's been about two live bands since the refurb - but usually it's just closed. Perhaps an opportunity for a Gothy/Metal night here ? |

| It's a great club if you like hip-hop and nu-metal.. I tend to use it as a late night drinking session. The DJ once refused to play ministry, and then reluctantly played about 2 minutes of stigmata! Grr... Brigh on a goth night! |

| I personally enjoy the gloucester - the odd decent choon, lots of nice, friendly people and cheap drinks. Epsc Tuesday nights - i recommend going with a big group of mates and get pissed of ya head! |

| The Gloucester rapidly went down hill after the re-vamp: BUT after all that fussing around they forgot to update the playlist...I don't mean to offend anyone, but a lot of people will agree with me on that one. Well at least it's FREE to get in all night now and vodka is stupidly cheap (50p a shot) & Snakebite + black is £1.50....cheers! :o) |

| Tuesday night's arent bad though for alternative music and the drinks are very cheap. £1.50 for a pint is nearly as good as Pav Tav! |
