Events In July

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.

What To Expect:

Console gaming battles and co-op chaos
Classic arcade games
Rock Band sessions and singalongs
Board games (Feel free to bring your own!)
A gear-friendly vibe
Drinks, chats, and easy socialising

Joystick Jocks is all about fun — no experience, skill level, or specific gear required. Come dressed how you feel comfortable and enjoy a Thursday night with fellow queer gamers, gear lovers, pups and jocks.

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!
