    The place on its own was rather decent but I can't help but be sad when I think of my night here yesterday due to a certain influencer going by the name of Gross Gore/ Ali Larsen who kept harassing me and my friends. It started off with harassing me because of race and then turned into bashing my rather big swedish girlfriend (whom i call my queen). After that he also acted weird around a small group of teens (he is 30 years old) and was being a creep in general. I hope this guy does not come back because it certainly ruined an otherwise great night!

    Decent place which attracts the crowds . With multiple rooms for different music genres , however music wasn’t to my taste but was still able to get in to the groove

    Went here with a few friends and one guy would not stop harassing the girls in our group. I tried reporting him to some of the staff but they didn't seem to care. Is this normal? I hope the staff address this and ban him as it seems he is a serial creep. My friend added him on snapchat so he would leave her alone and I have attached a picture of the creep.

    Door staff seemed rude, understand it’s a tough job, but a bit of banter or friendliness wouldn’t go a miss. Drinks were served in cans, at £5 a pop FOR A CAN OF BEER that they don’t even pour! We had a VIP table booked, service at the beginning was fine, but then had to ask several members of staff and wasted 30 minutes waiting for our coats!! unacceptable!! Oh and the floors were sticky, I’d avoid this place at all costs

    If your Black, Brown, Asian don't bother the bouncer will make you feel uncomfortable and they'll keep an eye on you especially. Also is not a diverse club is just basic. Wouldn't recommend going there are better ones nearby. Just not this one.

    Absolutely disgusted in how the door staff treated me and my friend. We came to Brighton for a weekend away. Carlos in the line waiting for 40minutes and then greeted by the rudest door man who wouldn’t let us in due to “laughing”.

    Very good club if you over 12. Everyone looked well under age but can't fault the security. Apart from one doorman wish I would have taken his badge I'd number because I would have got his license revoked very aggressive towards a fellow pal and what I saw picked on alot of the customers in here as well.. Over all really good club for size. Different rooms with styles of music if you don't want the big main dance area. Plenty of bars about always got served really quick. Didn't like the idea of the canned lagers and ciders though especially at the prices they charged. Bar staff very pleasant and friendly..

    Awesome night out in Brighton! Had a great night, staff (especially Victoria she is amazing) were nice and the music was good. Will definitely be coming back and definitely one of the best nights out in Brighton!

    I have absolutely no idea why this club only has three stars! I adore this place and I have so many good memories ❤️ I love that you have multiple different rooms with different vibes, my personal favourite is the Disco Room 🕺 I find it hard to go to a different club. If this place shut down I would definitely cry 😭

    Had a Hen do weekend there was about 20 of us all different ages and what can I say, what a fabulous night. Very welcoming and great security. Loved the different rooms playing different variety of music, suitable for all age groups, was able to float between rooms and all rooms have a great dance floor, bars fully staffed so no waiting for your drinks. Looking to go back next time we are in Brighton 1

    I am absolutely appalled by the service by this club, first of all I witnessed a young girl get pushed by an old man which was a security guard and then whilst i was in line in the queue a blond employee let 3 people in-front of me and when i asked her about it she said she simply didn’t like me? This business needs to check their employees absolutely disgusting

    Pryzm is likely the best club in Brighton, located 5-10 minutes walk from the station, right on the seafront. There are 3 different rooms playing different music. The club can get busy making it quite crowded inside and the entry fee is £10 on the door, so it's not perfect but definitely worth giving it a go.

    Kicked out by a bouncer and she left me, a drunk person, on the street on my own - they don’t care about you - rudest staff I’ve ever seen at a club, not worth it. Go to The Arch instead :)

    The worst club in Brighton easily!! Very aggressive bouncers, be careful!!!! 0 Stars is polite, couldn't feel more uncomfortable. Avoid at all costs. Please avoid, awful & unfriendly!!!

    Went to pryzm for the first time a few days ago and had a thoroughly enjoyable experience, each room had different music which was great because I could move about if I didn't like a song that was playing in another room. Drinks were a bit pricey but that's clubs in general. Will definitely be coming again.

    Do NOT BOOK THIS VENUE!!!! Honestly I am appaled at the handling of our recent cancer research comedy event held in Pryzm Brighton (11th Dec) and I do not know where to begin. I am part of a group that participated in a charity stand up gig for cancer research, the event kicked off at 3pm Sunday, we arrived for rehearsal at 1pm and were quite surprised to find no venue staff, no event organisers or management; the venue looked like it had the night before - an absolute mess with tissues, bottles, disused vapes all over a sticky dirty floor. We were pointed in the direction of the chairs (in the dingy basement with no lighting - I have a video of this) to collect and put out ourselves, we were not given a lift to use so we had to carry chairs up the stairs 5 at time (to put out 200!!) We had no access to the microphone or lighting setup prior to our guests arriving. Doors were due to open at 3 and there were no staff manning it so guests started coming in early with no tickets checked whilst we were still setting up. A microphone did not work completely ruining the set of a fellow comedian. I would like to reiterate this was a charity event, raising money for cancer research, so initially I understood why the venue charged £25 a ticket (some for running costs, some for CRUK,) I would however have expected some of this money to have gone towards the set up and not to arrive to have to do this myself. Considering also that we are all amateurs who have never been on a stage before, to have to use our final rehearsal time to have to get our venue ready is disgraceful. It is the last thing any of us needed on our minds also, I had friends and family travel as far as Liverpool to come and see me and I wanted to give them the best show possible, I do not believe that the venue helped facilitate this, going as far to say they hindered us and directly impacted the quality of the performance. To any future bookers - I would strongly consider whether you would like to take the gamble that if you select this venue for your event, you may show up to a S*** show, I have to give full credit to my event organiser for getting creative at the last minute to solve some of these problems. They will leave you on your own and you can only hope for the best. Truly shocking for a cancer based amateur charity event.

    GREAT IF YOU WANT TO GET SPIKED! Came here a while back and one of our friends (a male!!) got spiked and ended up in A&E for the rest of the night. We think it was from a tray of shots which were going round the club as it couldn't of been anything else. We heard of lots of other girls getting spiked the exact same night (and other nasty things happened to them which I won't go into detail of)... this place is full of people spiking others. Please please for your own safety do not come here!! We contacted them about this and didn't didn't get a reply which is disgusting. On the plus side, the medical room staff were fantastic.

    I adore pryzm Brighton. I partied here all the time with my friends and at some point worked there for a few months. Sadly had to leave due to moving Away but honestly and genuinely had the best time there. Of course some nights were tough, as is working at any nightclub but idk it’ll always have a special place in my heart.

    If I could give 0 starts I would - AWFUL service, we tried to get our coats we had left in a booth by the entrance on our way out but we’re told we were not allowed. When we asked when we we would be able to retrieve our coats we were told we wouldn’t be able to get them until everyone had exited the club. We waited until everyone had left before asking the workers if we were then able to go get our coats- they rudely assured us the club was ‘CLOSED’. We made it clear we were aware and only wanted to retrieve our coats from the venue that we were assured we’d be able to get them from. All they said was that we were ‘too late’ and there was ‘nothing we could do’ despite having been there since the place starting kicking people out. SO AWFUL,AVOID AT ALL COSTS

    I have never experienced such blatant and obvious ableism, i was refused entry as i was deemed “too drunk” to enter when in reality i had had one drink but, with the rain and wind i could not hear what the bouncers was saying. I’m autistic so i struggle with communication especially when there is a lot happening. I tried to explain this but they refused to listen. we ended up going to CHALK another club down the road from pryzm and had a great time

    Great security measures put in place here! I felt safe the whole time. I just didn't like how everyone was spilling drinks on the dance floor / other people.

  • 1/5 Audio J. 2 years ago on Google
    Same experience as others. Doorman thought he'd exude the ultimate strength and push me (not very far). Had no problem at coalition and much friendlier bouncers. I try to be as polite as possible because door staff are just doing their job (of course) but you do get those that just can't resist the power trip. Ruined my night so thank you. P.s I suggest some bicep curls

    Worst staff i seen in my life ruined the whole night, only 1 bartender seems like a normal nice person. If dont want this business to go down, figure it out and change. As well if so strict why the toilets so dirty?

  • 1/5 Lisa S. 2 years ago on Google
    Ridiculously long queue to get in to go through a metal detector and be frisked, I thought I'd gone to an airport by mistake. Then another 20 min queue to put coat in cloakroom. You cannot use cash at all in the club bec of "covid" when I queried it. If they were that concerned how about asking for proof of vaccinations or testing temperatures? Actually refusing cash I think is illegal isn't it? Disco room music was incredibly cheesy stuff, the bar staff are slow, inefficient and rude. They ignore people at one end and continue to serve others 1st. When we drew their attention to us by waving they refused to serve us! We didn't swear nor were we aggressive. DJs in both rooms have no clue about how to DJ, one was swearing continously. Would I go back again, never in a million years. Had better DJs and atmospheres in small bars with DJs. Do yourself a favour and don't go

    Dirty toilets and long queues everywhere. The bar service is pretty expensive and even though the place is big, it's not too nice. The staff is rude and the themes announced are seldom taking place. There was a 90s night and there was literally no 90s song the whole night. Price can also be a problem, entry on Fridays exceeds £10 which is way above the local average and drinks at the bar on the same night are also very expensive.

    Poor poor night club. The security are vile & violent and use unnecessary force. Telling partygoers that they will beat them up as they are allowed to.. grabbing people holding them very tightly to the point they will have bruises!! The security clearly don’t have the correct training to deal with drunk people as they are using their own methods in dealing with situations like trying to scare people off by threatening them!! Makes it 10x worse as most don’t stand for rude ignorant people thinking they own the place. The security are supposed to keep the public feeling safe and provide and safe environment!’ Instead it’s the total opposite… resolve security is poorly managed and the police will be involved to investigate why the security are so corrupt!!!

    I used to be one of the few people that actually still like this club because everyone on Brighton hates it - until one of the bouncers shouted in my face for no reason before I even got in. I'm super polite with all staff and I've never had that kind of treatment before. Really poor and puts me off coming back.

    Absolutely horrendous. I went to pryzm as I was away at a friends. This place is horrible!! The bouncers didn’t take inconsideration that my friend was the one who was getting touched by a guy!! They grabbed my friend like they was the problem!!! I wouldn’t be going there again. Disgusting!! I asked to go to the other room just to grab my heels they bouncer completely ignored me and brushed me off like I wasn’t important! So I took it upon myself to move the barriers and go in at my own accord. I will not be going there in the future

    Terrible experience. Went out for halloween was queuing for over 2 hours and being told probably won't be able to be let in in the end as won't let pekple in after 2. Absolutely appaling especially knowing people were out in the freezing cold and rain for hours. Seemed to have took their time letting people in, very disorganised and inconsiderate. Paid over 10 pound for my ticket and didn't even get in.

    Best club in Brighton, music always on point. There’s 4 rooms so something for everyone’s taste. Clubs so big you can almost get lost in it, I find with many small clubs I get bored quick being in a small room for hours however this is not an issue here due to the clubs great layout. All the staff and security are super nice and helpful, great people! Pricing great, with many good discount nights for students and cool events. Best club in Brighton by a long shot, would definitely recommend!

    Been here plenty of times on nights out over the years and always been really enjoyable and fun. I always paid for vip with a booth booked and drinks to save queues at the bar - the vip service here is brilliant. Staff are really friendly and kind.

    Went to see dream boys at this club and had a really really good night. At the end of the show the chairs were cleared for a spacious dance floor and the DJ played some really good songs. They have several different rooms in this club playing all different genres - good night out

    Went go the Bougie Drag show in February for a hen do. Originally it was booked from 4 till 6 then organisers changed it to 12 till 4. Food was burgers and hot dogs, then changed to risotto which was not nice and tasteless! Show was ok. Bottomless prosecco was bottomlessd! 👍The afternoon was ok with a big group and the hen enjoyed it!

  • 1/5 Ollie M. 11 months ago on Google
    This place is a joke.. seriously need to recruit some nicer staff, rude as can get. Never want to go again, I'll be sure to spread the word so that people avoid this place, you get treated like a criminal throughout the time you are here, drinks ridiculously expensive. I don't seem to be the only one complaining, so why does nothing change? Clearly big boss man couldn't care less about customer experience.

  • 5/5 Rebecca M. 2 years ago on Google
    BEST CLUB IN BRIGHTON.. I aways have the best nights at Pryzm. Me and my friends, we love it there and go every week. There's no other club like it in Brighton. There is a lot of negative stuff being said atm, which is all rubbish!!!! The club go above and beyond. I'm a female and have always felt safe!!!! The other week my friend had a bit to much to drink and one of the female security staff that works at the club was amazing and really kind. She helped us get her to a room where they have a Medic. She was sat down and given water until she felt better. They even walked us out of the club to the taxi to make sure we got home safely. No other clubs in Brighton do this. The staff are really friendly. The security are strict but that's a good thing. It makes me feel safe. One thing, get there early guy's to avoid queues. The club gets busy. When entering the club the security are really thorough. You even go through metal detectors. It is like being at an airport but that's a good thing, as a female, i feel safe and so do my friends. One tip......don't get there so drunk. You won't get in.

    Tall doorman wearing a total face covering walking around on the footpath outside said I need either a passport or driving licence to get in, I'm 38 and was staying next door in the travelodge. I tried to talk but the ski mask doorman chose to barely acknowledge me. I agree with what everyone else is saying, door staff are a bit moody and it was only 11 o'clock lol By 1 o'clock the queue was full of young lads, so I don't think I missed much, and I imagine the doorman was even more annoyed by then

    This was by FAR the worst place I’ve ever been to! I’m felt scammed and used! The music was EXTREMELY bad and the people working there was rude. Not the place to go if you want a good vibe, music and have fun . I will never return and neither should YOU!

    Attended Bingos Bongo here recently - utterly superb experience. Security were 100% on the money, searches, approachable, vigilant, friendly. Great security team. A bit of a wait at the bar compared to the timings of the show so that was a bit of a mismatch, not much choice for beer drinkers and what was available wasn’t chilled, but we made do with shots and shorts. Otherwise a great night out at Pryzm.

    Excellent night for a hen party for a range of ages 18 - 60, Danny was brilliant, he welcomed us in and showed us where toilets, bars, rooms, smoking area, exit. We were shown to our room (Dream Boys Show) with a complimentary drink. The Show was great entertainment, the drag was fantastic too an added bonus! No issues with doormen/bar staff like I had previously read! After the show, chairs etc. were removed for space to dance. Our party stayed to enjoy the music and dance the night away! Everyone was welcoming and friendly. Thank you for a brilliant night!
