    This is one of my favourite pubs in Brighton. Entering, you…read moremight think you'd found a very small and busy pub, with only a few tables. Explore futher though, and you find smaller rooms, the size of a small living room with a few sofas and tables. It does really feel in these parts of the pub as if you are in someone's house. Upstairs, there is a large function room, which also provides extra seating on busy nights. It's often used for band nights and big screen football. The place is stuffed full of interesting nooks and crannies and things to look at, without being too self-consciously cool. The toilet graffiti is also a constant source of amusement.

    This place is the hang out for every muso / rockabilly / yuppie/ mod / cool kid in Brighton. Over…read morethe years it has become an institution, partly due to the infamous Banksy painting on the outside wall, and the rest is down to everything else it has to offer. The layout of the pub is great. There aren't many big pubs which still manage to feel cosy, but the individual rooms/areas of The Prince Albert mean that even at its emptiest times (which isn't often) the place still feels homely and warm. Each room is decorated uniquely and there's cool music posters, most signed by famous bands and DJs, hanging throughout the pub. They make for good snooping material whilst you're mulling over a pint. Upstairs there's a decent sized live music venue where bands from Brighton and beyond grace the stage. The sound system is good, but the room does get a little hot in the summer months. The staff are part of the furniture in this place, and they're all super friendly, whilst still managing to look uber cool. The prices are very reasonable considering the pubs location and clientèle, and they serve a good range of ciders, beers, wines and spirits. The foods not bad either, and they serve meals much later than any other Brighton establishments. The only downside to the place is the lack of a garden. There is a small patio at the back of the pub, but it's usually very busy, and the seating outside the front of the pub (which there is a lot of) is right on the roadside. But all in all this is a great place and worth visiting just to see the Banksy if nothing else.

    Haha I love the main photo for this venue at the moment - I will see if I can change it as it…read moredoesn't look too inviting, but what I see at the minute is a dull grubby doorway and a metal railing. I think it really gets across the rough n ready feel of the whole place. I had a funny instance there myself when I turned up kitted out in an Audrey-esque 1950s ball room frock, with red lips and pearls to match. No I'm not a complete idiot, turning up to the dingy venue well known for its rock crowd - I was going to the monthly rockabilly night Born Bad. But beware! The music is more psychobilly and expect luminous hair dyes, tatoos, fish nets and piercings galore. Although I'm not a huge fan of the Engine Room myself, with its dedicated rock ethos offering up rock, punk, alternative and metal nights through the week, it certainly is a great alternative to much of what's on offer in central Brighton. It's probably the only such place Brighton has too, as Pav Tav's rock music includes the more popular indie stuff and the rock n roll oldies too.

    The Engine Room is the main full time rock/metal club in the city and hosts a number of regular…read morenights, as well as events like the punk rock karaoke and live band nights. I would say that I have mixed feelings about the place. It carries off the whole slightly sleazy and dirty rock mood well, but they really could do with a refurbishment to sort the place out a bit. For some reason, when the club is busy and the dance floor is in full swing the walls tend to drip sweat. Now this is something that really doesn't appeal to me and I would advise any patrons to beware the walls! The dance floor is based in the centre of the club and there is a raised seating area to one side and a number of booths reminiscent of the cantina in Star Wars opposite. These can be good to get established in if you are out with a group and shielded enough from the speakers to allow a decent conversation to develop. The quality of the sound system isn't the best and whilst this isn't so noticeable on DJ nights, it can impact on the live events at the place. On this note, the stage area is small and you can see that any bands are a bit hampered from properly rocking out because of it. Prices are fair and drinks are not too expensive for a club. The staff are also quite relaxed and it's the kind of place you are unlikely to see too much grief or trouble. All in all, it is a fun night out but it really would benefit from a little TLC and a make over to stand out from the crowd.
