Marine Tavern, The
Run by the guys behind the Hop Poles, this place is more famous for its bogs than its beer. Check out the avocado urinal for the ultimate in kitsch. Packed to bursting most nights – the pub, not the toilets – with the weirdest and wildest characters in Brighton, there's a perfect mix of gay and straight, and not a monocle–wearer amongst them. Flamboyant and fun, it's a popular spot for tourists and locals alike.
