At Laine, we don’t sleep on change – we are the change. A group of over 50 independently run boozers in Brighton, London, and Birmingham, we’re all about saying hell no to the status quo. Old-school traditions? Nah, we’ll pass. Our community of diverse, creative change-makers build their own boozers, reflecting the individuals who make them. Pioneers of the present, we’re cultural catalysts, architects of epic moments crafting everything from club nights to gaming gatherings all in the name of welcoming the next generation of pub-goers into joyful, experimental spaces with style.
