The Prince Albert is an independent, family-run pub and music venue at 48 Trafalgar Street, Brighton (BN1 4ED), a stone's throw from Brighton station and a fixture of the city's live scene. Built in 1848 and converted to a pub in 1860, it is as well known for its murals — the late John Peel and a wall of 26 deceased musicians, and once Banksy's 'Kissing Coppers' — as for its programming. The upstairs room hosts live music and DJ nights that are among the hottest tickets in town, while downstairs the bar runs live jazz on Sunday lunchtimes alongside roasts. It welcomes both original acts and covers, and with a medium standing capacity in the music room it is a key rung on Brighton's grassroots-to-touring ladder.
