"We had reserved a table for 9 on the Saturday evening of the sunny May Bank Holiday weekend, so perhaps we should give them the benefit of the doubt as other reviews seem to be very good. My husband and I weren't that hungry after eating lots at the Foodie Festival earlier in the day and as there wasn't really anything on the menu to tempt me enough to order a main meal, we both just ordered the cheese and biscuits from the dessert menu. We did think about ordering one between us thank goodness we didn't! £7.50 for 3 small wedges of cheese, a few grapes, a few crackers and a dollop of chutney. I suppose it was never going to be a big portion, but at least the cheese could have been better quality the cheddar was totally bland and tasteless, perhaps something you'd use to grate and bake on top of something but not worthy of a cheeseboard. The steak that several of the group wanted to order was sold out but we weren't told of that until they actually came to order it would have been useful to know from the outset so they could consider the other options in advance. The steaks they did end up getting turned out to be generous in size, but tough and chewy so not particularly enjoyable. The Malbec we shared was thin and vinegary. On a positive note, one of our daughters had the margarita pizza which was huge and she really enjoyed it, despite not being able to finish the whole thing. The other had the fish and chips from the children's menu nice portion of crispy battered fish and plenty of chips, both of which were polished off very easily. As she doesn't like mushy peas, we'd asked for regular peas instead but they didn't have any! So when offered carrots she was happy to go with those but what she actually got were the pickled carrots that they use on another of the adult main dishes! We didn't realise until she started complaining that they tasted funny and she didn't want them this was unusual for her as she is very good with her vegetables, so we both tasted them and instantly got the hit of vinegar. They were really quite unpleasant certainly not suitable for a child's meal but I wouldn't have wanted them either. Overall it was just ok, a bit disappointing but I'm quite glad I didn't go in feeling ravenous. I doubt we'd go again, although the vegan supper offer does sound interesting..."

Only went in for a drink for the first time today but lovely staff and great music! Also the whole place smelled like pizza dough so how could it be bad?!

My friend ordered 6 vodka and tonics. The drink did not taste of vodka and the manager wasn’t interested in our issue. Nice place and DJs but a total rip off. Drink beer!

Great little joint, alternative, good food, good drinks, good music, open till 3am. Good place to end up at the end of the night. Not a massive bar, probably fits 60ish people

Friendly and relaxed staff but the pizza was not good. I also saw the chef popping ingredients into their mouth as they were cooking. It’s a shame as the vibe and music are decent. View menu

Good place to get down and dirty late into the night. Open until at least 3am and has good music. Can get a little grimy and messy but if you're out of options at 1am on a Friday it's a good shout.

A bit quiet when I went in although I've seen it packed. The staff were really friendly, chatty and comforting. Funky lil vibe for an alternative crowd with a good range of drinks and wholesome experience!

There are so many things to love about Dead Wax. They play good music anyway but there’s also an extensive collection of vinyl that you can pick out to put on and the staff are super helpful at recommending a drink. The beer collection is good, the pizza is epic and there’s always a relaxed friendly vibe that isn’t too in your face or crowded despite its location at the start of the Lanes. My lost star is only down to the lack of non-alcoholic selection. Like most places in Brighton they assume that only men might not drink and so their only adult offering is cheap 0% lager (ick!! , despite offering local Laines beers on tap they don’t even offer the Laines 0% which is semi decent and so I e...

Booked this for a valentines dinner as it looked really cool, we arrived and nobody showed us to our table, gave us menus or talked to us, we just had to find our table. As basically nobody acknowledged us, we had to ask at the bar how to order food to which she replied how she was busy despite there literally being 3 tables but then said it was fine because we booked which was odd. There was a ridiculous amount of smoke, me and my boyfriend had to move tables because of how much it stung our eyes and continued to after we left. We then ordered at the bar at 8:30 and waited until 9:30 for our starter to arrive, at this point we were literally the only table, and then our pizzas a few minutes...
