The Queens Arms Brighton

A drag-focused pub on George Street in Kemptown, drawing a mixed crowd of regulars and visitors who come specifically for the entertainment rather than just a quiet drink. The room fills up fast on show nights, with tables arranged around a performance area and an audience that tends to join in rather than watch from a distance. Drag cabaret runs most nights the pub is open, with different hosts and formats across the week. It sits at the heart of Kemptown's bar strip, which makes it an easy anchor point for a night out in the area.
