If we are still in Gravesend come that time of the evening, there are a few pubs that stay open to 5am (!) and about 3/4 'nightclubs' (erm, front rooms - although some are OK-ish)
Plenty of late-night food on offer though.
Off the top of my head, within less than a mile radius, pubwise, I can think of 15 we can traipse through.

I'm definitely coming down in the evening, my wife has kindly offered to take me so I'm getting hammered too.
Town centre in gravesend has plenty of nightspots, but i won't be going into peckitts arcade.
One thing. I beg of you all to do this. There's a pub in gravesend town centre called the Somerset arms. It has a gold streak, and previous to this had an Indy, and before then a dig it and smash at the same time! It's hugely ontop (as mattv will testify), they do phone rounds, switch offs, everything. Can as many of us as possible go there all together and do it in front of their faces! Would be hilarious.

Bored of the grind.

Silent: Heh, yeah, it sort of exploded!
Can vouch fully for the Somerset. Have been playing in there since the days of Snailblazer (was the pub that held this famed machine which would go for £75 pretty much most Fridays!) But since the £70 era, it has been hellfire in there (that's not a new machine, that's the hassle from the staff!)
As Sir Ratty says, they have had it filled with playables but will cheerfully turn them off whilst you are mid-play stating that it's 'broken'.
