Live screening of the World Cup match between Portugal and Croatia at The Black Lion, with projector and big screens in a party atmosphere.
The Black Lion is screening Portugal vs Croatia on Friday 3 July, as part of their World Cup Live at Black Lion series. It's a World Cup match, so it's a big one — two heavyweights going at it, and the pub is turning the whole place into a proper matchday celebration rather than just putting the game on in the background.
They've gone all out on the setup. There's a large projector and big screens inside, and they've got the same thing going in the heated garden, so you can pick your spot whether you want to be right in the thick of it indoors or out in the fresh air. Surround sound runs through both, so you'll hear every cheer and whistle from the crowd. The idea is that every seat feels like a front-row ticket, and with the garden heated, it works even if the Brighton weather decides to be typical in early July.
It's an 18+ event, so it's geared towards the adult crowd — football fans who want to watch the game with a beer in hand and a bit of a party atmosphere around them. If you're into the social side of the World Cup, this is exactly that: a pub full of people watching a high-stakes match together.

Entry is free, and there's a queue jump option that's also free, though it doesn't guarantee you a spot if the place fills up, so getting in early is your best bet. The Black Lion is at 14 Black Lion Street, BN1 1ND, and the match kicks off on Friday 3 July.
