With a highly central position between the Clock Tower and Brighton station, The Hope is a bustling, music-led watering hole, popular with the city's creative community and after-work crowd. It offers a wide selection of drinks, along with a food by Beelzebab which is 100% plant based. Upstairs sits The Hope Live, a 100 capacity live music venue boasting a PA, stage and bar setup. Acting as both a showcase for Brighton's flourishing indie scene and a venue for touring acts from across the world, the room has a strong musical heritage - The Strokes, The White Stripes and Adele are just a few of the big names to have passed through its doors. The space can also cater for a range of other activities such as private parties, film screenings and dance classes etc.

No longer sells real ale - Mar 2025
