Brighton in top ten list for having sports bars (with available seats)

Brighton is the second top city in the UK for sports bars where you are most likely to grab a seat.

Data from Alternix, a nicotine business that offers alternatives to cigarettes, has found that Brighton ranks second in a top 30 list of places with sports bars. Wakefield was top.

The cities were ranked on their number of sports bars per 10,000 people, with Brighton boasting a total of 118, nine to each 10,000 sports fans.

With the Euros currently taking place and the Olympics close behind, it leaves Brighton as the second most likely to place to get a seat to watch the games.
