About Venue
Located on Brighton Seafront the Volks has been leading the way in new and underground club nights in Brighton for nearly 20 years, offering 2 rooms of unpretentious, unadulterated clubbing, If you’re looking to have a private party for a birthday, raise some much needed cash by way of a course fundraiser, or you want to put on a club night or live music, we’ve got the facilities for you. We can cater for up to 300 people, which includes our basement room with separate bar and sound system which holds 60 people, and the main room on ground floor level, now with a new seating area. We also have a covered smoking area outside the venue.
Open in the daytimes in the summer so you can laze the day away in our outdoor seating area opposite the beach, with a fresh ground cappuccino, a long cool jug of pimms, or even just a plain old ice cold beer and some fresh sea air. Following our recent extension and installation of a new kitchen, we now also have a full menu ranging from free range breakfasts, waffles and bagels, to gourmet burgers & sharing platters plus loads more.

I was visiting from Berlin last Friday. Some people told me to go to Volks, so I got there Friday night, and I was absolutely impressed! I rarely experienced such a heartwarming stuff who cares so much about their guest. Thank you a thousand times for letting me know that there a still places out there which aren't completely commercialized, gentrified and mainstream. Loved the DJs and their music! One star minus for missing a good visible awareness team. My friend experienced an overstepping situation.

Terrible night watching The Toasters. Sold and introduced as all the way from NYC. They are not. English through and through. Shocking and played for less than an hour. £30 to get in and less than an hour set from a purely English band promoted as from NYC. The band made venue leave on horrible strip lights during the very short gig. Killing any atmosphere. We politely spoke to Chris the promoter who literally shouted in my ear and was very aggressive. No refund as his dog was ill. He said he does a lot for charity. No charity registration on this gig? Volks you are better than this! This is Brighton, do not use a misogynistic aggressive promoter who tells lies and has no professional or people skills what so ever. Let’s your whole club down. If you want to see a genuine NYC Ska Band go see The Slackers. They tour regularly and come to Brighton. They are the real thing.
