Tip!

You could easily make this into a scavenger hunt by adding questions,  activities or dares for each stop. Reach out if you'd like my help planning a fully personalised day/evening out in Brighton!

Stop 1 – The Prince Albert

If you've got people coming to Brighton by train, the Prince Albert is a perfect first stop. It's not fancy and they don't serve food but it has an eclectic feel and it's massive so you're sure to find space to down a pint no matter what.

Stop 2 – The Pond – Under 5 min walk

A modern, small and cozy pub serving mostly local IPAs. They do offer some small bites to eat and their loaded fries are always a good shout if you're feeling peckish.

Stop 3 – White Rabbitt – Under 5 min walk

With its eclectic and fun interior this makes for a great pub crawl stop in the Lanes. Skip this one if you're on the 4-pub track, or are in a rush!

Stop 4 – Hope & Ruin – 5-10 min walk 

Head up to Queens road for a stop at the Hope & Ruin. Decorated year round with lights and garlands there's a lot to look at and there's always music and good vibes.

Stop 5 – Twisted Lemon – 5 min walk

Time to mix it up with a cocktail? Or just curious about what the yellow door in this tiny alley is all about? Check out the Twisted Lemon cocktail bar. 

Another one to skip if you want to limit your journey to a more sensible 4 stops. Or one to come back to another time!

Bonus!Black Lion, Mesmerist and Bohemia

When you're in the area of the Cricketers, two other great options where you can usually find music playing and a bit of a dance floor kicking up is the Black Lion, the Mesmerist and Bohemia. They also have beer garden or roof terrace spaces to enjoy in the summer.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
A serial expat and passionate travel planner, I'm here to inspire and empower your future travels, so you can take the stress out of travel planning and just enjoy the ride. If you're curious about moving abroad but need someone to bounce ideas with or ask question, I'd be happy to be your sounding board too. My name is Sara, I'm originally from Sweden and I've lived in the UK for over 7 years now. I'm passionate about travel, learning about new cultures, and discovering new places. This far, I have been fortunate enough to live in 4 countries and visit 28. I love planning trips and excursions, and I wish to share my excitement, recommendations and travel tips&tricks with you. When I travel myself, I tend to look for beautiful views, good places to eat and/or people watch, and good value places to stay. I tend to look at budget-medium-splurge options when I plan and depending on what budget that specific trip warrants, I'll have a recommendation to meet it. I have first-hand lived-in experience of places like Stockholm, Vienna, Atlanta (USA), Michigan (USA), and Brighton (the UK) as well as lots of travel experience around Europe, but I also love to research new places and create travel plans based on specific wish lists or criteria. If you are looking for a personalised guide or itinerary for a specific place, please reach out and let's have a chat.
