History

The club was opened in 1991 by Tony Chapman as Brighton's first sizable dedicated gay club after spending £300,000 renovating Savannah.[2][3] In 1996, the venue saw a total redesign featuring new lighting and a cutting edge cooling system within the walls. In 2004, Chapman sold the venue to leisure company Stagfleet Ltd for £1.5 million.[4]

The club has hosted celebrity guests, including contestants from the television series RuPaul's Drag Race.
