“Some great DJ nights and the best gig venue in town, hands down. Adele’s show here was absolutely amazing. Excellent pizza too, which is important for any gig, before or after. Or both.”
“One of the most accommodating venues we’ve been to. When all 20 of us girlies arrive in feather boas and corsets, most venues won’t let us in. It means we get to hang with Brighton musos too.”

With a highly central position between the Clock Tower and Brighton station, the Hope is a bustling, music-led, watering hole popular with everyone from skinny, guitar-toting types to the after-work crowd, with the location guaranteeing a regular supply of fresh faces. There are always quality tunes on the stereo, from 13th Floor Elevators to The Automatic; a recently installed pizza oven, meanwhile, means no-one need go hungry. Above the pub itself is Hope Live, a 90-capacity venue that has been an essential part of the Brighton music scene since its days as the legendary Lift. Recently overhauled - even the stage has been repositioned, it remains a key (and ever-developing) venue on the Brighton music scene, under new manager Shenny. It is also available for private hire.
