Pubs in Brighton

In one of the cities with highest density of pubs, famous for its lively night life and partying spirit, it is important to know somethign about pubs.

My favourite pubs in Brighton:

Pubs For relaxing and enjoy a drink:
  • The battle of trafalgar: it is by the station, nice place to have a beer or two. Not loud so you can chat. Good location for a drink after work. It has nice food, nice patio for a sunny day.
  • The evening star: great selection of beers. Friendly atmosphere. Close to the station.
  • The hampton: quiet, big tables. Good to relax.
  • The montpellier inn: great place to watch the footy with mates.
  • the robin hood: non-profit pub. Charities target.... worth paying him a visit.
  • The basket makers

Before going out pubs:
  • Hop poles: pros: central, sometimes good atmosphere. cons: it is pricey now at days...
  • Black lion: pros: central, good to warm up. cons: can get crowded.
  • Full moon: central, nice and relaxed atmosphere with a hint of a bar environment.

Pubs For eating:
  • The eagle: quite nice atmosphere, perfect for having lunch on a sunny day.
  • The wind mill: a bit central location. Great atmosphere to enjoy an evening drink.
  • The Hartington: close to the Hanover area. Very good food and service.
  • The earth and stars: nice pub by the station with very good food.

Music Pubs:
  • Bee's mouth: seems a bit narrow from the entrance but it has a basement area. Nice atmosphere.
  • Lion and lobster: nice pub, sometimes very crowded. Nice music.
  • Gemini: on a sunny day by the beach listening to music.... a must...
There are many pubs in brighton and hove area that have a particular characteristic that makes each a unique pub. For example the international football games in the King and Queen. This pub has probably the largest international clientele. This is because it is located really close to a language school, so international students make it its local which together with its massive screens, makes it one of the most exciting pubs to watch international football games in Brighton.

Another pub that has big screens and it is good fro watching sport events is the walk about. It is located at the bottom of queen street. Almost by the sea front. The relaxed atmosphere makes it good for sports and events.

Summer in Brighton

Summer is the hottest season in Brighton, the mix of sun, sea and festivals make this London by the sea a great destination. The Brighton sea front is packed with visitors looking for a spot to sun bathe. The very classical striped coloured chairs along the seafront are a constant theme for the local artists.

Brighton in the summer is also special for the Gay Pride Parade, this festival is a celebration that attracts people all over Britain to spend a weekend of party, Brighton style!

The streets of Kemptown and preston park are full of life and energy for party. Thousands of people walk, drink, eat and dance. It is difficult to find accommodation around those days but it is worth looking at B&B, hostels and hotels in Brighton.

The rest of the summer is fantastic in Brighton. To have a drink at the seafront, hearing some good tunes by the beach at the Gemini is also a classic.
