[3] The Blind Tiger Club was located at 52-54 Grand Parade, opposite the University of Brighton Faculty of Arts and close to the Royal Pavilion.

As 'Hector's House', the performance of live music and DJs became more important to the licensed premises, with the space gaining a reputation as "a showcase for up and coming bands" and one of Brighton's key small live music venues, regularly taking part in The Great Escape Festival and other annual arts events.

[5] In December 2013, the venue launched a membership scheme, stating that without support from members it could "fail in its mission to evolve the business into a stable social enterprise".

[6] In April 2014, a Noise Abatement Notice was issued under the Environmental Protection Act 1990,[7] following complaints by a rental tenant in a one-bedroom flat on the floor above, over the preceding months.

The venue closed in May 2014, with the local council's enforcement of a de facto music prohibition, since an unamplified drum kit was judged as illegally loud in the tenant's flat.
