The Post & Telegraph — Pub in Brighton And Hove

The Post & Telegraph is a Grade II listed Victorian railway station building from 1860, now a historic pub in Kemptown. Its preserved brickwork and old railway fittings remain visible, reflecting Gothic Revival architecture. The venue serves the Brighton Rock cocktail, its signature drink with local heritage roots. It’s popular for craft beer and cocktails during evening drinks, located just outside the city near Cinema de Luxe.

Originally built as a train station in 1860, The Post & Telegraph sits on the site of former newspaper offices including the Sussex Telegraph.

The Post & Telegraph functions as both a daytime drink hub and an evening nightlife destination in Kemptown. Craft beer and cocktails are central, especially the signature Brighton Rock cocktail tied to regional heritage. Menus are available online, supporting flexible use from solo drinks after work to group gatherings on weekends. The historic interior offers practical utility beyond standard pub functions while maintaining high energy during events.
