About this place The Marine Tavern

Located on Broad Street in the heart of Brighton, The Marine Tavern is a relatively small, traditional gay bar that has established itself as a friendly neighbourhood spot. Run by Chris and Lee, this venue offers a warm welcome to all visitors and has become particularly popular on Saturday nights, when the cosy space fills up with locals and visitors alike. If you're planning a visit then, be prepared for a lively atmosphere and some friendly squeezing through the crowd. The bar regularly hosts themed nights throughout the week, giving you plenty of reasons to visit beyond the weekend rush. Tuesday nights feature a curry and quiz night, combining good food with a bit of friendly competition. If you're looking for a more relaxed daytime visit, the venue serves a pretty good value for money roast on Sundays, making it a great spot to settle in with a meal and a drink. As part of Brighton's established LGBTQ+ scene, this traditional bar represents the kind of intimate, community-focused venue that makes the city a welcoming destination for gay travellers. Whether you're after a night out with friends, a themed event, or simply a place to enjoy a drink in a relaxed setting, The Marine Tavern's approach to hospitality and regular programming makes it worth adding to your itinerary.

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! 🤍
