Overview

Marine & Crown faces the sea from Brighton's regency seafront, and it plays up the town's showy side: a candlelit cabaret stage sits right on the gaming floor, and the bars run late.

It's not the place for a quiet session, but for a group weekend by the water it's hard to top — and the floor is better run than its party reputation suggests.

The casino floor

The main floor mixes tables and machines around a small stage; blackjack, roulette and craps anchor it, with a lively slot bank along the windows. A modest high-limit corner is available on request.

Rooms & dining

Eighty seafront rooms, bright and playful, sit above the action. Dining spans a seafood grill, a rooftop bar and the cabaret room, which serves late.

Location & getting there

On the seafront between the piers, walkable to The Lanes. Fifty minutes from London Victoria by train.

What we liked

  • Live cabaret on the floor
  • Great seafront location
  • Late licence and rooftop bar

Worth knowing

  • Noisy and busy at weekends
  • Not for a serious, quiet session

Verdict

For a group who want a night out with the sea outside and a stage on the floor, Marine & Crown delivers. Light sleepers and serious players should look elsewhere.
