I recall just such a place in Queens Square. Would have been mid 90’s. Unfortunately my memory of it is somewhat hampered by the amount booze consumed there. Was definitely in a basement of one of the houses on the opposite side from the taxi rank.

Anyone remember it or have I dreamt it up?

I went there quite a few times but was never actually a member. No one asked if I was either but back when licensing laws were stricter it was good fun.

Can confirm it existed having been in there, can’t recall the name.

Was it something like Palmer’s?

I suspect Soho house will be in a different league to the examples posted here . You can’t just pay £1500 pa to be a member ,you have to work in the arts in some way & be seconded .

Does this make it Premier League, Champions League?

Hopefully European Super League so it’s members can bugger off somewhere else to be so elitist.

Funny - that place I think is a members club but it’s out in Brooklyn - when I lived in NY I never left Manhattan, why would you . All the best things about the city are all in Manhattan. It would be the equivalent of saying you love Brighton but went out in the evening to Saltdean etc . Would be weird .

There’s nothing weird about the Saltdean Tav and the Spanish Lady ( well, nothing that I’d risk posting on here)

West is BEST
Brighton's always had member's clubs in one form or another. pub opening times seems to have been the end of a lot of them. My experience of the few I've visited is that most of them are full of middle aged, coked up Herberts.
I don't know anything about Soho House. A general rule is that if they announce they are opening or have to tout for business, they're not worth bothering with.
Far better making friends with someone who runs a pub and enjoy the lock-ins.

In the field
100% of Soho House members that I’ve come across in life have been absolute, weapons grade, platinum c***s. Funnily enough, their opinion of themselves is very different.

This. Several people I went to school and university with are/were members. To a man, utter wankers. I wouldn’t join if they paid ME £1500 a year.

I've been in a couple through work and if you one of those people who get a kick out of "feeling rich" by paying three times what everyone is paying for the SAME THING I'm sure you will enjoy the experience.

Shirley the Brighton branch of Soho House will be named Boasters.

Boasting that they are SO RICH they paid over completely over the odds for a rubbish bottle of beer.

There are of course "benefits". Waiting far longer for table service that you would get at the bar and the chance to see a pissed up Eamonn Holmes on a leaving do.
