Chess in Brighton and Hove - 4 different bars & cafés to play over-the-board
Had anyone had experience with Dice Saloon supposedly hosting daily chess?
Dice Saloon Mon-Fri 12:00-19:00, Sat-Sun 10:00-19:00
The Earth & Stars Tuesdays 19:00-23:00
The Great Eastern Tuesdays evenings
The Sidewinder Tuesday from 18:00
The Cow in Seven Dials Wednesday nights
UPDATE: LOCAL TIP
The Cow in Seven Dials on Wednesday nights has a pretty active chess club - am a regular there and they do drink discounts if you’re playing.
FOR BACKGAMMON GAME
The Dorset on Tuesdays at 7pm. It’s a very casually arranged night, all completely for fun, in case anyone’s interested

A new sculpture inspired by the original, with a fixed clock face showing 19:53 and a public competition to design the artwork
