Local tip
Checking the event schedule before arrival helps match a visit with a preferred tribute act, DJ night, theme or drag show.

Maggie Mae's Bar is a Preston Street venue built around live entertainment, DJs and a bar setting. Its programme runs throughout the year and combines tribute performances with themed nights and drag shows, giving the venue a nightlife-focused character rather than a restaurant-led one.

The entertainment schedule includes tribute acts covering familiar music eras and artists, alongside DJ-led events. Regular themes include 1980s music, Club Tropicana, The Big Cheese, 1990s music, pop-focused nights and a country-pop themed show. The range gives Maggie Mae's a varied calendar, with different evenings suited to different tastes in music and performance.

Drag shows form part of the venue's programme, adding a performance-led and social element to selected nights. The combination of themed events, tribute entertainment and DJs makes the bar suitable for groups planning an evening out around a particular music style, a ticketed show or a lively late-night atmosphere.

Table bookings are available, with a deposit option connected to the booking process. Event tickets are also offered for the scheduled entertainment, so visitors can choose between attending a specific performance or arranging a table for a night out. The venue is located on Preston Street, close to the central Brighton nightlife area, and operates from the afternoon or early evening depending on the day.

Maggie Mae's suits visitors looking for organised entertainment in a bar environment, particularly those interested in tribute acts, themed music nights, DJs and drag performance. The programme-led format means the character of an evening can vary according to the event, while the core focus remains music, performance and social nightlife.
