Located on the stunning beachfront, Fortune of War is on the parade route, so is the perfect stop-off for pre or post-Pride drinks. Enjoy celebratory bevvies with a view of the sea, from ice-cold pints to a crisp glass of pinot grigio, this hotspot is bound to impress.
Out of all the many, many cool bars around Brighton, there's one that steals our hearts every time: Dead Wax Social. The popular North Laine spot offers a fantastic selection of local craft beer and one of the best vinyl selections in town. From music quizzes to a carefully curated playlist, there's plenty on the entertainment front too.
You won't need Brighton Pride tickets to head along to North Laine Brewhouse's party. Not only will this haunt be home to face painting, DJs or live bands on Saturday, but it will also be open on Friday and Sunday for some good vibes, alongside flowing bevvies.
Located on Cranbourne Street, Inn On The Square is a well-loved venue for all occasions. Whether you're popping in for its pre-Pride breakfast hash raclette made up of Ogleshield cheese, black pudding and baked eggs, or for a beer in the evening the outdoor terrace, it won't disappoint.
Fancy enjoying some quaffable concoctions before, after or during the Price celebrations? Yup. Then head on over to The Fitz Regent on Castle Square for some lip-smacking drinks in its gorgeous Grade II listed space. Hungry? It also offers some mouthwatering grub too.
If you're looking for a top-notch haunt to head to after the Brighton Pride events, Tempest is a firm choice. Boasting cave interiors, and lantern lighting, alongside a stunning sea-facing terrace, this is a fabulous venue whatever your evening plans.
After the epic Brighton Pride lineup, you can always rely on Be At One for some tasty concoctions. Choose from its White Mocha-tini with Cazcabel coffee tequila and Mozart chocolate cream liqueur or the Bit of Me made from Hendrick's Gin, rhubarb, along with a splash of soda.
Just a short distance from the Brighton Pride Village Party, East Street Tap has a fabulous selection of craft brews to quench your thirst. Worked up an appetite? Sink your teeth into jalapeno poppers or signature fried chicken with gravy and biscuits. Yum.
Easily one of the more laidback options for bars near Brighton Pride, The A Bar is about as chilled as they come. Boasting a plethora of neon pink hues, baroque upholstery and high loungers, as well as a stunning selection of sea views, this beachfront hotel bar is a great stop-off.
A Victorian-inspired den of dusty collectables, vintage furniture and creative concoctions, The Black Dove is just a stone's throw from the Brighton Parade. Sip on something created by one of the master mixologists, or opt for one of its international craft beers.
Perched just beside Preston Park, The Hare & The Hounds is a London Road spot serving a fantastic selection of craft beers and local ales to enjoy in its laidback garden space. And if you're feeling hungry? It also has a crackin' selection of hearty fare, from tacos to wings.
