The Actors

To sip on craft beer in a friendly, inclusive environment, look no further than settling down for a pint at LGBTQ+ pub, The Actors. As well as these pours, you can expect a roster of live DJs, theatre performances and quiz nights to keep you entertained.

North Laine Brewhouse

A buzzing microbrewery and haven of craft beer, North Laine Brewhouse has transformed an old Brighton nightclub into one of the best bars around. They offer a wide variety of locally and on-site brewed ales, as well as cocktails and tasty gastro fare from Marlowe's Burgers.

There's plenty of entertainment on the cards too, from shuffleboard and interactive darts to beer pong and corn hole - plus live DJ sets on the weekends. As for the venue itself, expect stacked barrels of beer, exposed brickwork and local artwork.
