Prince Albert

This should be a wicked place to go. It's a fantastic music venue in a great location right next to Brighton station. It's like being in someone's house because of all the different rooms and mismatched furniture...and you'll find a nice piece of Banky's handiwork on the wall outside. I won't tell you what it is...wander by and have a look.

However...the last two times I've been to the Prince Albert there have been some very unsavoury sorts in there. My female friend was actually threatened by some guy when she accidentally took his seat. It was really unpleasant and I won't go back. Shame.

The Prince Albert is situated right at the top of Trafalgar Street round the corner from Brighton train station and such, metaphorically as well as literally it is the first place to go when you get to Brighton. And quite rightly so. With a lovely pub downstairs that has a wacky layout with two separate closed off rooms that you can sit in that makes you feel like you're at home, and a great gig venue upstairs that has played for the likes of Skunk Anansie, The Kooks and Arcade Fire, it's an all round yes for pub/gig goers.
