The Marine Tavern — Restaurant in Great Britain

As circus performers who have been fortunate to travel across the globe, we recently had the joy of participating in Brighton Fringe for the first time, with United Queendom Show. After the Show, our hearts yearned for a local pub where we could unwind and connect with the authentic spirit of the city. It was during our search that we discovered the humble haven known as Marine Tavern.

Nestled away from the bustling streets, Marine Tavern proved to be a true gem. With its unassuming charm and down-to-earth ambiance, it surpassed our expectations. The welcoming atmosphere and warm crowd perfectly embodied the essence of Brighton's inclusive nature. It was a place where we felt instantly at ease and embraced as part of the local community.

If, like us, you prefer to explore local establishments rather than tourist traps, Marine Tavern should be on the top of your list. It's the perfect spot to unwind, where you can mingle with locals and fellow performers, exchanging stories and building authentic connections.

Whether you're a visitor seeking an unpretentious retreat or a Brighton resident looking for a humble and welcoming pub, we wholeheartedly recommend seeking solace in the warm embrace of Marine Tavern. Prepare yourself for an evening of genuine hospitality and memories that will make you feel like part of a larger family. This hidden gem is a testament to the humble spirit...

The Marine tavern, is a tiny little LGBT bar , located on 13 Broad Street, in the heart of Kemptown ,a stones throw from the Sea front, the Brighton Pier. The Staff & Owners are all very friendly & entertaining. There are Daily Drag Acts, Cherry Bomb ( pictured in video clip), Shallow Vera, Stephanie Von Clitz, amongst a few others. I found this little bar 10 years ago when I used to visit Brighton regularly, it's quickly became my friendly little local. I referred to it in my head as the Gay Version of Cheer's ( yes that old American sitcom) everyone very friendly, locals & tourists/ Visitors alike. There a nice atmosphere, plus it's dog friendly.. I have made majority of my social circle here. Usually other people flock here by the start or the end of their night. I would highly recommend.. They only serve alcohol, some alcohol free drinks,...

We went here 3 times in a week and we thought it was too quiet and unfriendly at first (Sunday evening so that’s expected I guess) but then a regular customer showed up with his cute French bulldog, Frankie and that broke the silence.

We went back two more times and the owners were there one time and they were very friendly and comforting to us after we were “hate crimed” in “the oldest pub in Brighton” earlier in the evening. Google it. I’m not sure if you can name other businesses in reviews. It begins with a “C” and it’s a shame that they over-served very ignorant people.

Anyway, The Marine Tavern is definitely a cool place for...
