Include A Pub Crawl On Your Brighton Stag Do

Brighton is a haven of pubs, taverns and bars from the unique and quirky, to the modern and trendy. There are hundreds to choose from large establishments on the main roads to small and welcoming drinking holes hidden on the side roads.

The benefit is the wide variety of drinks on offer, from beers of the world and Sussex cider to extensive wine lists and cocktail menus. Brighton has it all and unsurprisingly this offers a huge appeal to the hoards of stag groups that arrive in the town each weekend.

A little bit of forward planning and a suitable strategy as to how to execute a pub crawl and it can be the perfect activity to kick-start a stag weekend and ease any tension of nervousness within a group that may contain a number of strangers.

If you are staying in Brighton overnight then after checking in at your hotel head to the nearest venue to get the pub crawl started there will always be one within walking distance. If youve not had a chance to map out your venues it will not be difficult to stumble out of one place and into the next. Alternatively, ask the ever-friendly bar staff or local drinkers for their recommendation as to your next stop.

To spice up the activity why not ensure a different drink is tried at each venue, while to speed up the crawl introduce a shot-stop at every third establishment. Youll have quickly toured some of Brightons best pubs and be in the mood to continue your party at one of Brightons many exceptional clubs.

With many of the hotels based on the seafront, this is our recommendation for a pub crawl starting at your hotel and ending at the towns biggest nightclub on West Street.

The Prodigal East Street

Ideally located near the seafront hotel. This pub is popular with the local student and can get your crawl started with a quick pint.

Fishbowl East Street

Fifty metres up the road and the Fishbowl with its eye-catching artwork is available for a refreshing pint while listening to some quality Indie tunes.

The Black Lion Black Lion Street

Head in a North West direction to the reassuringly traditional Black Lion, which is deceptively large and offers and fine range of drinks. From here you can grab a bite to eat at one of many well-priced Italians, while a new Jamie Oliver restaurant is available a few doors down.

The Smugglers Ship Street

On the parallel road is the wonderfully decorated Smugglers, which offers a great ambiance and an opportunity to shoot some pool.

The Fiddlers Elbow Boyces Street

On a small road connecting to the hustle and bustle of West Street is a small and homely pub serving a fine selection of lagers and ales. Enjoy one last slow pint before walking into the bright lights and loud sounds of West Street for the next stage of your night.
