Events In August

At grassroots music venues and open mic nights (including our own, where we first met singer/songwriter Dino Dini) Brighton exhibits a huge array of creative talent, and Dino brings them to the lounge each Wednesday to show their stuff

Dino starts the musical proceedings at 8, and each performer plays a set in turn before uniting for a jam session after 10pm - in which all Nautilus passengers are welcome, bring an instrument!

Ready player one? NEW from the team behind Subline - Joystick Jocks — a laid-back, kink-positive gaming social for people who like their nights nerdy, sporty, and competitive.

Whether you’re into briefs, jocks, sports kit, pup gear, harnesses, sneakers or more, this is your chance to hang out, play games, and meet like-minded people at Nautilus Lounge 6pm til midnight.

Tickets available here and on the door

Sunday open mic night is back, with pianist and singer Robin Coward hosting. We're open at 6pm so you can get some Dutch Courage or indeed have a quick practice/soundcheck before the crowds arrive, with performances officially beginning from 8pm

Dedicated to the love of great music (and great cocktails, of course) the night is probably Brighton's warmest and most nurturing open mic session; welcoming performers of all varieties: from pop-singalongs with karaoke backing, to acapella groups and spoken word poets; self-penned acoustic numbers, to tuba solos!

We're rigged up to play backing tracks or link your guitar to the PA, and (of course) you're welcome to make use of our baby grand; or simply come along and appreciate the range of talent on display!

Ian returns with the NAUTILUS PERPLEXER Quiz, this month the themed rounds will be of a PRIDE bent (ahem) so you can bone-up (double ahem) for an advantage...

We'll torture your minds with fiendish trivia, picture and audio rounds, as you compete for the cash prize. Entry is £2 per person; maximum team size is 6 (although - as all regular quizzers know - an oversized team is mostly detrimental!)

Doors open at 7pm, and the quiz starts 8pm. We're expecting a crowd, and space is limited, so please reserve a table for your team in advance (just message us here on Facebook, or drop to the bar in person) to avoid disappointment!
