Brighton's most exciting pub is a rock & alternative bar with an exciting 60-seater live comedy & music venue upstairs.
We serve great food and fantastic drinks; our real ales are Cask Marque-accredited for quality.
Our eclectic programme of events includes several regular comedy clubs, one-off shows by the country's top comedians, as well as live music.
We have a sheltered & heated courtyard garden, a function room available for party hire, and a friendly team of staff to welcome you and make you feel at home.
Our Upper Lounge Bar is available to hire for private parties, comedy shows, small gigs, film screenings, and other events, from fanzine launches to wedding receptions.
The capacity of the room depends on how the furniture is arranged, from up to 60 seated, with a stage in the corner of the room, to 90 or so standing. There is the option of a staffed bar.
We can provide a PA system, CD decks, a DVD player/projector with screen, and a separate (though small) dressing room area for performers. Catering for parties can be provided for all budgets, or you are welcome to make your own catering arrangements.
Hire fees can be negotiated and are dependent on a number of factors, but some small events can be accommodated free of charge.

This is my favourite pub. Not just in Brighton but in general, everywhere. The atmosphere is on the whole very welcoming, the bar staff are all brilliant, friendly and beautiful, the landlady is always very kind but takes no nonsense and the security at the weekends are fair and responsible. It is a queer venue as well as a metal pub, and as a queer goth I feel very much at home, and safe. The jukebox is my only complaint - I’ve no idea what it thinks it’s doing, but I don’t like hearing 5 ABBA/George Michael songs back to back on Free Jukebox nights (Tuesday). Otherwise, it’s a unique little gem of a dive bar and I LOVE IT. Good Happy Hour deals and overall good value.
Good little dive style bar in Preston Circus. Questionable DJs at times but adds to the vaguely goth-metal atmosphere. Open nice and late on weekends, the typical lager selection just as you might expect so nothing fancy. Not sure if they have food or not but I wouldn't like to find out.
Awesome venue with an edge. Great music is always playing with nice metal and rock decor. The cocktails are splendid and also strong 🍻 The bartenders are a laugh too! Probably my favourite bar in Brighton!
Basically the only great metal/rock rub in Brighton. However, not just deathcore blasting all day: expect a rich tapesty of great music from all genres and no judgement aboute your own tunes on the jukebox. I live in Southwick but consider it my local. For all the old school Brightonians, now the Hob Goblin/Pav Tav/Gloucester etc. have all gone/changed, this is a singular refuge from the brutish realities of today. The staff, from management to bar to security, are, for my money, the solidest, friendliest, no-nonsense people around. If you find them not to your taste, I would suggest having a good look in the mirror. LGBTQIA+ friendly and you can bring your dog in. It's got a beer garden and has gigs and comedy. I go to read and have great chats with people. The prices are reasonable (rare for this time and place) If you're not sold, then I don't know what your buying but come down anyway
Have been here a few times for Comedy. They have really great entertainment on, often no more than £5! Super dog friendly! Has a pool table!
