[Food] A lively place to eat with decent food in Brighton or Hove

[Chicken Run]

This years restaurant thread has taken a different turn this year so thought I'd ask this in a separate thread.

Mrs WS wants to take her best friend out to dinner as her friend has recently been through the mill. Defying her years she wants to go to a 'lively' place with music, cocktails, decent food and maybe even dancing. The Ivy has been a consideration but the reviews are awful - especially around the food. So, any recommendations that could tick all, or at least most, the boxes ? I'm not much help as Mrs WS and I tend to go to more sedate places in our dotage.

Las Iguanas in Jubilee Street is always lively, creating a great holiday feel with 2 for 1 cocktails

Jean Jaques (rip) was a brilliant night at his restaurant. He would cook and then come up stairs and sing . Great nights . Anyone remember him?

Lucky Khao is lively, does cocktails and the food is banging

Was that the Laughing Onion in Kemp Town early 80's ? If so, we went there once. Food was disappointing but when he came upstairs to sing we roared with laughter. Until we realised nobody else was laughing and that he was serious

Memorable though
