Venue guide

About the venue

The Charles Street Tap sits near Brighton seafront at the edge of Kemptown, putting it right inside one of the UK’s best-known LGBTQ+ nightlife districts. It is a larger, more pub-style venue than some of the surrounding bars, combining drinks and food with evening entertainment.

The atmosphere can shift through the day, from a more relaxed place to meet friends into a busier queer night out with music, drag and themed events. Its location makes it an easy stop between the seafront and the bars of St James’s Street.

For visitors new to Brighton’s LGBTQ+ scene, Charles Street Tap is a straightforward and accessible place to begin an evening. The entertainment calendar changes regularly, particularly around Pride and major weekends.
