Last orders at much-loved LGBTQ+ bar

Bar Broadway, the popular venue which has been bringing glitz and glamour to the heart of LGBTQ+ Brighton since 2014, has closed its doors for the last time.

The musicals-themed venue, which was run by Alasdair Kelly Jarrie and Michael McGarrigle, hosted karaoke nights, quizzes, Eurovision parties and top-flight cabaret.

Brighton & Hove Sea Serpents LGBTQ+ rugby team, which was sponsored by the bar, said on Instagram:

We’re very saddened to hear that the amazing Bar Broadway has closed its doors for the final time. We’ve been honoured to have them as our shirt sponsor for the past two years and they’ve been wonderfully supportive. We’d like to particularly thank Alasdair and Michael for their support over the years. It’s a terrible loss to the LGBT+ community here in Brighton & Hove and it was a unique venue that we will cherish memories of forever.
