Convenience Corner

Very typical late-​night corner shop — no use if you want fresh fruit or fancy wine but a godsend if you need snacks, cigarettes, or an emergency toothbrush at three in the morning. Carries a wider range of cigarettes, wines and so on than seems possible given its size and also offers the usual household cleaning products, cold drinks, cakes etc. Generally pretty friendly staff, too.

This shops does have a 24 hour alcohol licence so they’re allowed to sell booze all night if they wish but unfortunately they’ve decided not to open late at night any more (check 24 Hour Booze Brighton (
) for details) and now only open during the day which is a real shame as Convenience Corner was a great place to buy booze at night in Brighton.

Convenience Corner can be a late night lifesaver if you find yourself stranded in Kemptown with a 2am booze or food craving, and don’t want to walk all the way down to North Street.
Like many small general shops, it’s full of all kinds of goodies, and they seem to be able to fit in more than you could ever imagine they would — all manner of snack foods, a few household essentials, and a decent alcohol range with a few 6 for a fiver type deals on beers.
They’re open til around 3am at weekends — they did do an experiment with all night opening over the summer but seem to have stopped that currently.
There’s often a bit of queue, but the staff are well used to dealing with indecisive drunk people efficently, so waits are rarely too long.

Like the neighbouring Videostar, this is one of Kemp Town’s small shops that all too often get bypassed in favour of the bigger chains. I do often go here though as the prices are pretty reasonable — as well as all your typical labels, you can downgrade your McVities, Heinz or Cadbury’s to your Happy Shopper or Euro Shopper. It’s great if you fancy some late night pistachios and Dr Pepper (or whatever floats your boat), as it opens ’til the early hours all nights of the week. It also has a great range of stock despite being a pretty tiny shop. Very convenient if you live locally or are staying in a neighbouring (New Steine/​Rock Gardens) B&B.

As the name implies it’s a conveience store on the corner.
24 hour licence and all the usual goodies.
