The Joker Brighton
The Joker Brighton is a lively pub located in the Preston Circus area of the city. Situated near the creative hub of New England Street, the attractive Preston Park and iconic Duke of York Picturehouse, The Joker is itself something of a landmark building.
During the summer months, happy revellers can be seen occupying the street-side benches, more often than not while tucking into baskets of Lost Boys Chicken, who operate out of the kitchen. Lost Boys Chicken serve New York-style chicken wings, sandwiches (burgers) and sides. Their range of homemade sauces make for a lip-smacking, finger-licking thoroughly delicious meal, served daily until 10 pm – perfect for friends who don’t mind getting messy.
Award-winning food and drink
The Joker, together with Lost Boys Chicken has secured top spots in the BRAVO awards since they began in 2017. Awards include a Top 10 for Best Pub in 2018 and Best Pub Grub top three in the 2019 BRAVOs.

The Joker Brighton runs regular promotions on drinks and food, including 3-4-2 on Wing Wednesdays and 2-4-1 Prosecco Mondays. With late night opening until 2 am Fridays and Saturdays The Joker is a great weekend destination too.
