The Prince Albert, Brighton

1/10! Not the most gay-friendly of places.

This is a vibrant and lively pub. It has lots of 'texture' and is only a stone's throw from the station. I've been a few times and arranged a birthday do there. The staff courteously took a few hundred quid off us during the evening but then had the most ridiculous drinking-up-time policy that had a bouncer removing drinks from our hands in a pub that was still half full. One of my gay friends was also jibed by one of the staff who asked if he'd 'got his handbag'. It was an embarrassing and scruffy end to what would otherwise have been a nice evening.
