About this place The Marine Tavern

A no-nonsense, traditional gay boozer on Broad Street, tucked just off the Kemptown seafront in Brighton. It's small. Locals pack the stools, but don't expect to sit on the sidelines for long; someone will drag you into their conversation within five minutes. Come Saturday night, you'll be squeezing your way to the bar elbow-to-elbow. During the week, they keep things moving with themed nights. There’s a Tuesday quiz that comes with curry, and they turn out a solid, good-value Sunday roast—though you should check their website before showing up, as the schedule shifts. Doors open at noon every day. They pull pints until 1am most nights, shutting a little earlier at midnight on Thursdays and Sundays.

Absolutely gorgeous. Went in on easter Sunday afternoon and staff were very friendly and attentive - I nearly had a medical episode but was helped out promptly and kindly. Other clientele were lovely too, great times were had. Will be back next time we visit Brighton for sure.

Such a lovely hidden gem that was right opposite our airb&b - dog friendly and Nan friendly - felt super welcome and included with lots of chats and fun - we went on a Monday and enjoyed drag bingo - which I believe was the only pub in the area to do on a Monday! Nan desperately wanted to see a drag act and the marine tavern did not disappoint- thank you! 🤍
