The Prince Albert is an independent, family-run pub and live-music venue at 48 Trafalgar Street, a stone's throw from Brighton station in the North Laine (BN1 4ED). Music is the beating heart of the place: its upstairs room is a long-standing fixture on the Brighton circuit, putting on regular gigs across alternative and indie rock, post-hardcore, folk-punk, soul, hip-hop and noise/electronic, plus a relaxed live-jazz slot on Sunday lunchtimes alongside roasts served until 9pm. The venue marked its 10th anniversary in June 2026 and carries a busy diary — 40-plus shows booked across 2026–27 — making it one of the city's most dependable rooms for touring underground acts and emerging local bands. No kitchen now, but you're welcome to bring your own food.
