Overview
Who we are –
Friendly, fun, lively, unique – here at the Black Lion, we aim to be the best at everything we do – and we do a lot! A Brighton institution loved by both clued up locals and visitors looking for excellent food and a top-notch Brighton night out – The Black Lion is a pub that can be as laid back as it is raucous. Bringing you the best of Brighton’s DJs and live bands, classy but classic gastro pub grub, a spacious front terrace perfect for people-watching, a deceptively large beer garden, local artwork and murals, and friendly, speedy service – there’s nowhere quite like the Lion! Expect good times, a good crowd, and good vibes every day of the week…
