Rendezvous Brighton Marina Poker
Brighton Casino's
- Brighton has always been one of the most popular places in the UK for a long weekend away. The obvious attraction of the beach front attracts some people, the history of the Mod subculture as seen in the film Quadrophenia brings in many other tourists and the stunning night life and music festivals makes it a great stop for a weekend of partying and stag/hen nights. But Brighton is also one of the premier places in the UK to play poker all year round.
There are three casinos in Brighton although the Mint Casino doesn't really accommodate poker. But the two venues that do boast a card room have between them one of the busiest and toughest poker scenes in the UK. Brighton is such a big part of UK poker that popular UK player James 'Royal Flush' Dempsey made a serious contention for European Player of the Year in 2007 based almost purely on his results in the South Coast Town. Brighton is also the new home of Cardrunners instructor Brian Townsend and his girlfriend and player Kara Scott, which will surely only add to the thriving poker scene down there.
The Grosvenor Casino is just a short walk from the Sea Front and opens early every day to host cash games. Like a lot of buildings in Brighton, it's probably a little bit older than the other Grosvenor's you may have been too, but once you set foot inside its as modern and impressive as you would expect from the Grosvenor chain. The regular schedule is more aimed at the lower stakes players, but it does host the biggest festival of all – the popular GUKPT Brighton which has just had its 3rd outing. The attendances for this event were massive and with its superb nightlife, makes it one of the better week long poker trips on the GUKPT calendar. The Grosvenor has also hosted APAT events in the past.
The Grosvenor Casino can be found at 9 Grand Junction Road, Brighton, BN1 1PP and their weekly schedule looks like this:
Mondays: £10 NLH R/B, 90 mins R/B and top up.

The Rendezvous Casino Brighton Marina calls itself a ‘Vegas style casino’. If you’ve ever been inside a Las Vegas casino, however, you might somewhat disagree with this statement, but to be fair, it does offer the biggest gaming experience in town! Housed in what appears to be a somewhat drab grey exterior at Brighton Marina next door to McDonalds, the interior will surprise you what with its dazzling, flashing lights and good array of casino games. Open 24 hours, there are bars and a restaurant on site, as well as a dedicated function space.
Brighton is an immensely popular place to visit and because of this there is an awful lot of entertainment on offer in terms of nightlife. If you want to gamble, eat and drink all in one venue though, then the Rendezvous is a good, safe choice for a night out.
