What our clients think

Friday night was wicked, thanks for having us! Venue space was great, staff & security were super helpful, all the bands and attendees had a great time. Photobooth went down a treat too, thanks for helping us set that up. Had a lot of good feedback from attendees on the sound & lighting and just generally feeling safe in a venue space, which is really good to hear. Cheers for letting us come in and do our thing, would love to do more shows at Revenge in future.

All of the staff members worked incredibly hard to ensure no detail was spared and everything was just as we had asked for (and imagined it would be). Seeing the dedication all of the staff had to ensuring we had the best day of our lives was truly beautiful, and made us feel so incredibly loved. We both want to extend our sincerest thanks, from the bottom of our hearts. Truly our special day wouldn't have been the perfect vision we had without Revenge.

Wedding Reception at Revenge
We hired Revenge Club for our staff Christmas party and I can say, hands down, it was the best company party we've ever had. Victoria, Rachel and the team were amazing, DJ perfect, lovely bar staff and we loved the photo booth. The whole layout of the club worked really well, the music was spot on! We had arranged some entertainment and on the night it all went smoothly with thanks to the sound tech and the club's dressing room. I highly recommend this as a party venue, it was amazing!

A huge heartfelt thank you to George, for your patience and for putting up with me and my anxiety; to Toby, for always having my back with the technical side of things; to Parker, for being perfectly on top of every single detail during the event; to Alice, the sweetest and most cooperative person behind the bar; and to the absolute QUEEN, Alex, who made the night a thousand times more fun just by being her brilliant, gorgeous, professional self. Revenge truly epitomises Brighton in the best way, and I feel so lucky to have celebrated such a meaningful milestone with you all. You made the day perfect, and I’m incredibly grateful.
