The Marine Tavern

About

Welcome to **The Marine Tavern**, Brighton’s famously intimate pub that has been a beloved community hub on Broad Street for over a century. Whether you’re looking for a quick pint, a night of drag‑inspired live entertainment, or a cozy spot to unwind with friends, this pint‑sized venue delivers a warm, unpretentious atmosphere that feels like a home away from home. Patrons are drawn into the historic interiors, where veteran bartenders craft top‑quality beers, cocktails and classic ales with a modern twist, and rubber‑soled arcade machines line a dedicated corner for generous doses of nostalgic fun. The toilet is open 24/7 and the pub is dog‑friendly, which makes it a popular gathering place for locals and travelers alike in the heart of Kemptown. The Marine Tavern prides itself on being a short‑statured gem of a pub that still manages to have a big personality. Each evening sees regulars and newcomers alike exchanging stories over pint and media, and the onsite entertainment schedule runs from Monday to Sunday, featuring drag shows, live music, and guest DJs – an experience that cannot be found in more cost‑rigid venues. With its rainbow‑flaged décor, welcoming staff and a 10‑% loyalty discount, all visitors feel right at home. From crowd‑friendly “drag nights” to “arcade nights” in the back corner, The Marine Tavern offers something for everyone. Even on a weekday or during the busy spring and summer months, the pub’s laid‑back vibe creates a space where you can unwind, share a laugh, or simply watch the world go by from a small, sun‑lit corner in one of Brighton’s most beloved corners.
