The Great Eastern A real pub on the edge of Brighton's vibrant North Laine The Great Eastern offers guests the best local cask ale and cold, crisp lagers and craft beers.

While specialising in whiskey from America, Scotland and Ireland, we also offer a wide selection of gin, tequila and rum. As we don't have a kitchen, we are all about the drinks, and the music. We are small, so screens and game machines are not our thing, but music really is. We soundtrack our days with the best blues and country, jazz, swing, soul and rock and roll, and on Fridays and Saturdays we host some of Brighton's favourite record spinners. If you like the sound of that, we'd love to see you some time soon.

And so it startsā€¦

This Sunday afternoon we have a very special vinyl DJ session celebrating the centenary of the birth of two of the giants of 20th century music. Miles Davis and John Coltrane were both born in 1926 and both ended up having a huge influence on the development of 20th century music, as well as on each other. Join us this Sunday afternoon from 3pm as Del Day (Union Music Store, Lewes) and Shamblin Sexton explore the recorded works of these two titans of modern jazz, from be bop through to fusion
