General Information
This members only club was founded in November 1916 as the
Brighton & District Labour Club & Institute Limited and was known
as such until March 1974. When the club name was amended to the
one we know it by today, Brighton Trades Labour Club & Institute
Limited. It has two premises, the bars and offices in Lewes Road and a bar
in Elm Grove.
The main club premises were sited in London Road until 1963 when
the building in Lewes Road, that began life as coaching stables and
later became the Arcadia cinema, was purchased. This was then enlarged
by the acquisition of the shop next door and designed to be the
entertainment centre of the club, which it still is today.
Lewes Road bars and office
There are two bars and the concert hall on the ground floor. The front bar has a
large screen TV so sports fans don't miss the big occasion. On
the upper floor is a bar and facilities for snooker and darts.
The bars are well stocked with a wide range of beers and spirits
at competitive prices and food is available on the nights there is entertainment.
The club's snooker teams play here on a Monday night and the Lewes
Road based dart teams play on a Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday night.
Details of the club bowls and angling sections are available here.
