If you want to try a bit of celebrity-spotting we recommend having a drink at The Black Horse or The Colonnade. The Black Horse is opposite the Brighton Dome making it a popular spot for acts enjoying a post-show tipple, particularly during the Comedy Festival. Next door to the Theatre Royal Brighton is the quaint Colonnade bar, take a look at the signed theatre programmes and photos on the walls to see who past patrons have been. The Cricketers in The Lanes is one of the oldest pubs in Brighton and past guests are said to include ‘Jack the Ripper’ and Graham Greene who immortalised the pub in his classic novel – Brighton Rock.
