About this place Legends Bar

Legends is a large gay bar on Marine Parade in Kemptown, Brighton's gay quarter, attached to the Legends hotel on the seafront. You can grab a drink on the ground-floor bar's terrace, which faces the sea - it's a great spot to catch some afternoon sun. Theme nights and cabaret shows run throughout the week, and drag performances are a regular feature. On weekends, the basement transforms into a dance club, and the place gets loud. The bar's open from noon to 04:00 every day, so you can drop by whenever. If you're looking for a quieter time, weekday afternoons are your best bet - you'll still get a view, but without the crowds. The rest of the bars on St James's Street are just a couple of minutes' walk away.

We spent 2 nights visiting from Australia. The service was above and beyond, and Mikey and Ingrid were very friendly and helpful. Excellent location and view from the downstairs bar. Thank you guys!

Top notch across the board! Staff were great from the moment we arrived. We got to town we'll before check-in time and they held our luggage while we explored the nearby pier and lanes. We had a large sea view room which definitely was large and seemed even bigger after the micro rooms of London. We could see the pier from our room and walking up to see the water and just sitting by the window with a coffee such a relaxing start to the day. The road out front can get busy so the noise from the traffic can be distracting but the hotel does provide ear plugs though we didn't need them. The bar staff downstairs were absolutely lovely and good fun. We were here mid week so no shows and we realize that meant a much quieter experience compared to the weekend or in prime summer. Would stay again and hands down would recommend.

Dirty room, not cleaned properly or at all. Unhappy & unfriendly staff. Bouncers unfair and aggressive!! One night stay was to much to bear. I will definitely not be returning again. Disappointing beyond belief.

My overall impression of the hotel was negative. The building itself is very inconvenient: the hallways are narrow, and the standard rooms are small. We booked a large 35-square-meter room with a good view, but it didn't help matters. The main problem is the hotel has no air conditioning at all! The windows face a busy street. The intense traffic noise makes it impossible to sleep with the windows open. If you close them, the room becomes unbearably hot and stifling. The hotel also has a unique atmosphere and isn't suitable for everyone—the type of guests and the behavior of many guests are uncomfortable.

I absolutely loved staying at Legends Hotel. I originally booked just one night, but I enjoyed it so much that I decided to stay an extra day. The hotel is very clean, the rooms are lovely, and the views are beautiful. Liss at reception is an absolute sweetheart, and not only her — all the hotel staff and the bar team were incredibly friendly, welcoming and kind. The location is also perfect: very close to the centre, surrounded by lovely restaurants and nice places, and only about two minutes walking from the beach. When I come back to Brighton, I already know where I’ll stay. Thank you for such a lovely experience.
