The Prince Albert in Brighton and Hove

A rare thing in Brighton or anywhere else - a great gig venue that has a great beer selection. A few decent cask ales and one unusual cask cider. Staff are genuinely helpful & friendly. The gig space upstairs is small with good sound and views of the stage throughout. A gem of a place!

Best pub in Brighton. Punk/football ambiance with excellent beer selection. And the outside is worth a visit even if you don't like beer. Still awesome.

One of the best pubs I’ve ever been to! My sister and I tried to get some food at the end of the night, but unfortunately the nearby takeaway was closed. When I came back empty handed, the bouncers very kindly gave us their food. The nicest bouncers I’ve ever met, reasonably priced drinks and warm welcoming atmosphere. Can’t recommend The Prince Albert enough.

Great old pub. Buzzy great decoration. Loads of fast friendly staff and average price drinks. Gig venue has a great sound. And atmosphere. Really close stage

Went to The Prince Albert for a gig. It's a real 'back in the day' pub with low key security, fruendky bar staff, decent prices and a room upstairs with a sound system and a stage. What's not to like!

Fantastic pub with a great little gig venue upstairs. I've seen some great bands here and had plenty of evenings with good friends. Would recommend it and will be back!

Can’t comment on food but this is one of my favourite venues in Brighton - gluten free beers (£5 for a super pale which they charge £7.50 for at the hope and ruin), a roaring fire and a great crowd. Staff are on it and good fun too. Venue room is small which a good stage. On top.

Lively pub with a good selection of beer and cider. Great venue upstairs for gigs too.

Good drinks. Music slightly too loud for conversation

This is our new favourite 'first and last' pub in Brighton! We usually get off the train and head down towards the beach area of town, but we like to grab a first pint somewhere close to the station. We tried this pub on our way home recently and the ale was gorgeous and well kept. My wife had half a cider (for which I can't remember the name) which she said was very nice and refreshing. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, and for that reason we'll definitely be back on our next visit for the first and last pint of the trip. We noted there seems to be plenty of music at this place, and other entertainment. Well worth a look if that's your thing!

Brilliant family run pub, great beers , good prices, popped in with actor /musician Chris O'Neil who was George Harrison in the film BACKBEAT pub has a 150 capacity touring band venue upstairs .

Fab night of ska at the always fun Albert in Brighton.

Always a pleasure to visit. Don't let the live music disappear from greedy developers who are trying to build next door and curb the music.

Went to the Albert with friends last night for a great gig and drinks. Great atmosphere great music and great drinks. Good prices and variety. A legendary place

What is there not to like about the Albert. Good beer, great atmosphere and some really good bands playing upstairs. Literally a stones throw from the train station.

good traditional pub music venue

Der Pub liegt in direkter Nähe zum Bahnhof. Die Auswahl an Bieren ist sehr gut. Die Atmosphäre ist sehr entspannt. Zur Kneipe gehört auch ein Saal für Live Musik. Den habe ich aber nicht besucht.

Absolutely brilliant night, such a great band, even though it was quiet and not busy, the atmosphere was so good, thoroughly enjoyed it, but there again always do in the albert, as find it one of best pubs in brighton, and well worth supporting, as live entertainment venues are becoming so rare now...

Cool pub in central Brighton, not far from Brighton Train Station. Friendly staff and a good selection of beers. Has various separated areas to sit in with a larger area around the bar. Hosts live music events, not attended one myself.

Great atmosphere! (Banksy mural around the corner)

Brilliant night before and after the gig seeing @coffin_aus xxx❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great place for a quick drink or stay and get to know the locals ! Friendly bar staff and quick service

Nice selection of cold beverages!!

Great traditional independent pub with a huge offering of live music

Great pub, music centred and welcome to a range of ages. Also, best door staff in the world, Michael and Hassan. Been there for years and, if possible, they are only even more brilliant.

Great boho pub with live music. Friendly staff, good beer.

Proper friendly doormen which is rare nowadays

I can confidently say that this is one of my favorite pubs I have ever been to. Great drinks, very nice service and, above all, a really wonderful atmosphere. The place is simply unique.

Atmospheric place. Two bars (top, bottom). Several "rooms" with tables and chairs (you can create your own atmosphere). The concert venue is modest, but about 70 people will have fun. Simple decor, without unnecessary gadgets. Nice service.

Outstanding pub. £5.80 for an Estrella.

A cult good old fashioned Rock and Roll place with a very particular atmosphere, seems like you’d traveled in time when you arrive… we had an incredible time there, good local bands played, we share some beers and the night would always be on our memory, cheers mates..!!! 🤟🏾🙃💪🏾🤩

I really like this pub, a gem of Brighton

Great pub for musiclovers and beerdrinkers.

I just love this place! The sort of people it attract, and the staff is fantastic. Great atmosphere, wide choice of beers, at cheap prices. I always visit them when in Brighton.

The Prince Albert is one of my favourite hangout spots in Brighton. It’s also a great place to start a night out. The pub has a relaxed atmosphere and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. Each room has its own unique charm. It’s very homely. I would definitely recommend The Prince Albert to anyone looking for a fun and lively pub in Brighton on a weekend. Or a quieter hangout spot on a weekday.

Lovely big pub, great selection of beers busy but the staff are really fast and friendly.

In the immortal words of MC GQ -"Absolutely 'T' for Tremendous!" This place is 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🐐

Was wondering around Brighton in search of craft beer and found this pub and wasn’t disappointed. Great selection and friendly staff too

A great find for craft beer. Staff friendly and attentive too

Saw a band, She's in Parties, in a fantastic, intimate upstairs room. A proper music pub !

Wonderful friendly pub with great staff and the friendliest door staff. This is how to do a pub xxxx

Great pub. Excellent range of dangerously nice beers. Brilliant live music. The Meow Meows were fantastic!

Musica dal vivo al piano superiore e stanze tranquille dove bersi in tranquillità una birra al piano terra. È gestito da ragazzi, quindi posto molto tranquillo e particolare. Assolutamente consigliato fermarsi qui almeno una volta, tra i murales e l’ambiente magico

Been going here for donkeys years. Still one of the best boozers and venues in Brighton. Legendary!! 🤘🍺🤩

Great bar with friendly staff always a smile serving good beer. The upstairs music venue is brilliant with an excellent pa system and sound man. A perfect place to see up and coming bands.

Jaunty pub near station that offers good drinks and lots of little spaces for small groups.

Always a great spot. Friendly staff, good music, great booze and awesome gigs!

I always have a lovely welcoming time here. I've seen an eclectic range of music here. I love how they give everyone a platform even Garry. I once drank 9 super pales here gluten free and vegan pale ale, is highly recommend. The logo is pretty good too but I tried to get a t-shirt but the brewery didn't take kindling to advertising advice even though I've seen all episodes of MadMen. Everytime I go to a gig upstairs though I am distracted, distracted by there disco ball. Not for the right reasons unfortunately. It's very dusty. I was watching a gig once about a year ago when I noticed, Emily something... Bought a t-shirt which says 'love will save the day' unfortunately love has not been bestowed on this poor ball. The the film of dust even distracted me and put me off bidding at a charity auction. When I saw Darek play I could focus due to dusty disco. I love the venue, amazing staff an quite affordable drink for Brighton. Also the dot mural 💯, so yes you would get 5 stars if you got out the Mr Sheen. You know what to do 💜

First pub i visited on moving to Brighton 35 years ago and still has a buzz about it 😍

Great place to stop for a drink. Easy to get to from the train station. Friendly staff.

Awful rude staff, one employee grabbed hold of my arm very aggressively as I was leaving to tell me I’d left a bag behind, I thanked them, however I also asked them politely not to touch me, as I felt it was inappropriate, they then proceeded to grab my arm again to take me back to my table to make me check if I’d left any other items. After the second time I politely said I felt physical contact was wholly inappropriate, they told me to leave. I am concerned that it would be considered acceptable to touch a customer without their permission, as the first instant was very aggressive and very unexpected. I don’t know why the member of staff felt it at all appropriate to commit what felt like an assault of a paying customer. Such behaviour is appalling and to make any excuse for it from management in any reply to this review would be an a concerning endorsement for inappropriate touching of customers. The incident made me feel very uncomfortable, and put a damper on an otherwise nice afternoon out in Brighton. Thankfully I got to go to other better establishments later on in the day.

Poorly cleaned and run down pub, expensive drinks, slow service, poorly trained and rude staff would give zero stars if I could

Love the whole place, from the quirky downstairs rooms to the iconic upstairs live venue, this is probably the best music bar in Brighton. The Mod/Rocking weekend here is second to none!

Fun and easy going! And yeah the Banksy was snapped by touristy me. The Banksy print that is. Surprisingly good considering proximity to the station.

Under trained staff, bad communication between team members, unprofessional environment:

Great venue, great pub with lots of tasty beers on tap. Staff are always excellent. Proper local feel. A Brighton institution.

Great place to sit and enjoy a lunch. Staff were very friendly and happy to accomondate. Would definately come back when in the city.

Been here mostly as a venue but it's also basically the perfect pub. The gig room upstairs is great. The other local small venues are all amazing too but have a downside each- The Hope and Ruin has a big metal pole right in front of the stage, the Green Door Store has its cobbled uneven floor, and the Pipeline has an annoying wooden bench near the front- this place has none of those! Lots of room to dance and mosh without worrying about bashing your head. There's air con for when it gets hot, and a smaller bar at the back just for gig goers. Good stuff. The bar itself is probably the best in Brighton too. Amazing selection of drinks, including local beers and lots of interesting craft beers. Bar staff are all lovely and the pub is full of individual rooms you can sit in, as well as two outside areas. Nice decor and atmosphere, super friendly and welcoming, and the building itself has that mural of course. My favourite pub.

Still my favourite pub in Brighton.

Didn't eat - do they have food? A great atmosphere. Brighton has been a fantastic place to visit for a long time and the Albert is a great place to finish off a day trip - it's about a 5-minute walk from the train station - Seagulls!

Pub bien agréable après une belle balade dans le quartier. Accueil agréable

Me encantó la decoración del lugar, tienen mucha variedad de cervezas y tragos y me encanta el hecho de que puedas escuchar una banda en vivo en la terraza (abonando una entrada)

I went here a few days ago to see an acoustic performance by indie rockers echobelly. Probably about 100 people max capacity but I was right at the front and had a great view!!! I would come back again.

A bit rough and ready but conveniently near railway station. Visit six Brighton pubs in three day holiday, this was the only one I went to more than once. Reason being the cider - Ascension Mothership (6%) which was the best I had in Brighton

Great place for meeting on a match day ahead of any Brighton and Hove Albion games. Easy walk to the station, lots of staff.

Menace in Brighton zu sehen war das Größte!

Only visited for drinks, but felt very safe. Temperature checked on arrival, details given and the staff wear masks for table service only Not sure on opening times as they seemed to vary so best to check But came round when called last orders to see if wanted another drink Good friendly pub with a Great Wall display outside

Great venue with great people. Love this place!

Great to try a few different ales, friendly staff.

First time at The Albert, i'd heard about, but not been before....what an amazing pub, loads of nooks and crannies and a true Rock'n'Roll watering hole, staff were very friendly and helpful. I'll definately be back next time i'm in Brighton :-)

This place kinda rules. It would be considered a dive bar in America but here the hipstery staff are actually pleasant and helpful.

They don't do food anymore. The atmospheric is brilliant and the wonderful bar staff make sure you never have to wait to be served.

Such a lovely pub. Not only host to some amazing music but a great beer list too

Decent pub close to station. Here to watch FA Cup and screens all over. Good beer selection over and above usual drivel and super friendly service

Friendly pub with a great selection of beers. Also a music venue. They don't serve food, but you are welcome to bring your own.

A beautiful pub just down the road from Brighton train station. A very quirky pub, with loads of different themed rooms. Staff peeps are always very friendly and the selection of beers is excellent. I would highly recommend a visit.

Un lieux absolument incroyable et incontournable de Brighton ! C'est pour moi le pub le plus typique de la ville, entre tag d'artistes dont original de Banksy, musique rock'n'roll et bières abordables ! Il faut impérativement s'arrêter quelques minutes profiter de cet endroit chargé de culture anglaise !

Great pub and awesome for local gigs

Great pub, always lively after the footy. Good beer selection.

Nice enough pub but not wheelchair accessible and no disabled toilet if you do manage to make it in through the garden.

Very lively place with fast service.

cute place, great cover from the rain with very communal vibes

Love the atmosphere here!! It has a great function room for gigs upstairs and offers a brilliant selection of drinks.

Enjoyed a drink in here. Helpful staff.

Great pub. And one of many in Brighton that doesn't have single use plastic glasses for gigs - big plus.

I never seem to fail to have fun here. One of Brighton's long standing institutions and a great relaxed place to hear new and up and coming bands

Great pub, loads of charater, friendly staff, great night

Nice atmosphere and very good beer.

Brighton at its best!!! The best live venue around, great staff, great beers, even the doorman is the nicest guy you'll ever meet. Long live The Prince Albert!!!!

This is a place that I have been to a few times now. The atmosphere is good. The last visit was for a friend's birthday. A small function room was hired and was comfortable. Giving us a space of our own. There's lots of benches out front and a smoking area at the back. The staff were friendly.

Probably the best venue in brighton for sound quality. You'll always have a good view cos its not a huge venue. Drinks are reasonably priced too none of this 4 quid for a coke some places charge. Rajkot nice staff too and plenty of seats outside plus the cool mural wall is pretty iconic

Great vibes, great people, friendly helpful staff

Nice local pub and good selection of beers and ciders

Great Pub Really enjoyed the Bluebell Bitter £4 pint

Great gig @thezangwills on Saturday. Great support band in Holler also. Brilliant venue in the heart of Brighton.

Cool pub, lots of different rooms, cute music venue. Hard to hold a conversation here though coz it gets so busy.

Better inside than the front would suggest. Good real ales. Good staff. Away football fans were allowed in

Loadsa atmosphere and a great selection of ales. Ignore its scruffy appearance because the rest of the place is good. They always have a great selection of craft ales. Despite their notice board outside they do serve lager. 😆😆😆

Best place to have some fun !!!
