Our Favourites
The EclipseTraditional two bar public house with a welcoming saloon bar for those after a quieter tipple and a more lively public bar with two large plasma TV’s and a league standard pool table. Regular pub quiz night, poker nights and an annual beer festival! Harveys Ales, Pool Table, Large Screens with Sky & Setanta, Function Room, Quiz Nights. . |  |
Duke of YorkOld fashioned and traditional country pub with all the trimmings. Highly regarded in the area for its good quality, wholesome, home-cooked food. Fantastic beer garden and envious range of Real Ales. |  |
Cobden ArmsTypical back street boozer. Pool table, dart boards, good selection of draught lagers and a plasma & large screen showing all major sporting events and Racing UK!
Smoking Area, Pool Table, Fruit Machines. . |  |
The HamptonA stone's throw from Churchill Square but slightly off the beaten track, The Hampton attracts a lot of regular faces, yet its stylish, Scandinavian-style 70’s décor is a long way from a standard English locals-only boozer. The beer garden is a particular attraction, a daytime sun-trap that’s equally comfortable in the evenings thanks to halogen heaters. |  |
Marlborough PubThe Marlborough Hotel was the first of Brighton’s pubs to cater for a predominantly lesbian clientele, but it's also popular with thespians thanks to a small (55 capacity) theatre upstairs. This hosts a show of some kind – gigs, plays or comedy – most nights of the week and is also available for private hire. The pub itself is divided into two distinct parts: the mellower, non-smoking Theatre Bar and the more lively main bar. |  |
The Greene RoomThe pub has been immortalised by Graham Greene in his classic novel "Brighton Rock". In honour of that it was decided that the upstairs bar be refurbished in 2005 and re-named The Greene Room. The Greene Room is now home to some of the most spectacular memorabilia concerning Graham Greene and ‘Jack the Ripper’ and can certainly keep one entertained whilst enjoying a classic beverage. |  |
Gemini BarProbably the biggest beer garden in B'lighty with a 500 seater open air patio. Table service, live bands & views to die for! “The big momma of summer drinking spots. Quality live music, and for free too, along with big jugs of cocktails and table service from some of the tastiest bar staff in Britain. |  |
Water Margin / KabukiFormerly known as Kabuki, The Water Margin is two venues in one.
The ground floor bar decked out in the finest contemporary style offers a huge range of cocktails, wines, bottled beers and draught lagers. Equipped with WI-FI and open from 4pm everyday makes this a perfect after work and late night hangout. |  |
Easy BarCentrally located but markedly different in atmosphere from anything on neighbouring West Street, the Easy Bar has a committed lunchtime and after work crowd during the week, turning into more of a party venue at weekends. They have DJs every weekend, playing everything from house to funk and soul, with the regular It’s A Rave Dave being particularly notorious. There’s also a monthly comedy night and, though a long way from a sports bar, they show most footie matches too. |  |
The JugglerLocated just into Hove, the Juggler attracts a mixed crowd from regulars to pre-club revellers, drawn in by the warm atmosphere, long happy hours and top class DJs. They offer free wi-fi, sporting events on TV and various weekly events such as the open mic and live gigs. The pavement tables are a popular option during the summer, while they're open until the early hours every night of the week all year round. |  |
The Cobblers ThumbAn unpretentious local with plenty of regulars, and fitted out with wi-fi too. Although the Ozzie theme is gone now that Matt has replaced the string of managers from Down Under, their spirit lingers on in the selection of imported Australian beers, and in the general laaaaaaid back feel. They boast a heated beer garden and free pool every afternoon. |  |
Earth & StarsSurely the most environmentally friendly pub in Brighton, the Earth and Stars is powered by a solar panel in the roof and serves organic lager, cider, spirits and wine, offering a rare chance to help save the planet by getting another round in. If it's all starting to sound a little worthy, fear not - they do plenty of non-organic food and drink too, and the atmosphere, usually fairly mellow, is livelier at weekends. |  |
Beaufort ArmsA large traditional pub with a hefty crowd of regulars, the Duke of Beaufort has several weekly events including a pool, darts and crib, as well as showing all televised football matches on a six-foot screen. The pub has a substantial beer garden, a disco every Saturday night and serves real ales from around the country, whilst also boasting its own pub footie team. There is a popular restaurant upstairs which serves authentic Thai food and can seat up to 40 people. |  |
Hove PlaceThe Hove Place has often been describes as the Jewel in the Heart of Hove. With its gorgeous Italian Garden, this pub is the perfect place to relax with a bottle of wine. There dining friendly areas at either end of a busy, vibrant pub. |  |
Ladies MileFriendly and lively community boozer that operates a hugely successful calendar of them nights, food nights, golf days and much, much more. Fantastic self contained function hall adjacent to the main pub that is a perfect venue for birthday parties and wedding celebrations. Beer Garden, Pool Table & Darts, Fruit Machines, Large Screens with Sky & Setanta, Large Function Hall. |  |
Three Jolly ButchersClose to the North Laine and the Staion but situated away from the main nightlife spots, the Three Jolly Butchers is particularly busy at lunchtimes and early weekday evenings. They serve food (from ciabattas and salads to pub grub like bangers and mash and homemade burgers) seven days a week, with an excellent roast on Sundays. Everything on the menu is freshly made on the premises – the managers also run the adjacent sandwich shop which shares the same name. |  |
The Shakespeare's HeadWith the sort of friendly, laid-back feel more usually found in an old-school locals’ boozer, yet with a younger crowd and a livelier atmosphere, the Shakespeare’s Head is a gem of a pub situated just off the Seven Dials. They also offer two outsside spaces, benches to the front and an intimate beer garden to the rear. |  |
Worlds EndWinner of a Best Bar None award in 2006, The World's End is a large pub that combines traditional décor (bare wood and brick, stone flooring, stained glass panelling, bookshelves) with contemporary touches such as the IT box, new artwork and even a chill-out area, enclosed within a beaded curtain. The big screen is as likely to show a classic movie as the footie, and, as well as pool, they offer games such as chess and carrom. |  |
Western FrontA lively, centrally located pub, the Western Front is popular with both an after-work crowd as well as being a good fun weekend venue. The patio tables are prime people-watching spots thanks to their proximity to Churchill Square, great in the summer for sharing a jug of Pimms.
Inside, the pub is split into two levels, with bars on both floors and locally produced art and photography on the walls. |  |
The ExchangeHuge, footie-mad local with friendly atmosphere and plenty of regulars. The Exchange is the place to head for the big games or events like St George's Day, when they really go to town; but it's equally good for a mellow, midweek pint and game of pool. With atmospheric traditional decor, expect pavement tables, a heated rear garden, and a games room with pool table and darts board. |  |
Grand CentralSitting directly opposite Brighton Station, Grand Central is a busy London-style pub that creates a buzzing atmosphere all day and night and provides perfect stop-off point for travellers to and from the city, as well as a popular haunt for local residents. It serves food seven days a week and boasts a good range of bourbons, wines and real ales among its drink selection, as well as an extensive cocktail menu. |  |
White RabbitIt’s the name of the waistcoat-sporting character, late for a very important date, who leads Alice into the hallucinogenic world of Lewis Carroll’s Alice In Wonderland. It’s also the title of the classic 60s psychedelic song by Grace Slick and Jefferson Airplane, as featured in Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas and a hundred other bastions of counter culture. A new pub in Brighton’s ever-vibrant North Laine. |  |
Hectors HouseHector’s House is a youth-oriented town-centre pub. With a vibrant and chilled (if that’s possible, we don’t like serving oxymorons) atmosphere, created by the fun-loving clientele, Hector’s is situated in the heart of Brighton, next door to the University art college and only a couple of minutes walk from the seafront and the Palace Pier. |  |
Victory InnOne of the oldest watering holes in Brighton, in many ways the Victory Inn has the feel of a traditional pub, albeit given a more contemporary, loungey feel complete with sofas in the downstairs bar. With each floor divided into three small rooms, it benefits from a more intimate feel than its capacity would normally allow, while the location in the heart of The Lanes keeps the atmosphere lively. |  |
LongmanWell known and established traditional pub with famous ‘over-sized red pool table’ and two large screens. A Time-honoured saloon end for those wishing to dine or after a quieter drink. The Longman caters for all types and all ages. |  |
Fountain HeadJust down from Bill's Produce Store, The Fountainhead is a warm and inviting watering hole that combines classic pub features - exposed brickwork, wooden floors and a log fire - with a contemporary sense of light and space. It caters for all comers, from regulars to locals, and students to young professionals - and several decades beyond. As well as a superb food menu, they offer a strong drink selection (two real ales and Westons on tap, as well as a good range of spirits and shooters). |  |
Colonnade BarWonderful theatre bar, set in the heart of Brighton faces the beautiful gardens of the Royal Pavilion. The Colonnade Bar is a piece of local history not to be missed. You can even order your pre, post & interval drinks!. |  |
OfficeThe Office is situated in the heart of Brighton’s vibrant North Laine shopping area, amongst the trendy clothes and record shops. With its full window frontage and bustling location, The Office is the perfect place for a spot of people watching. There is also the ‘secret’ gem of a secluded beer garden at the rear, ideal for soaking up the afternoon rays with a cold beer – a genuine sun-trap. |  |
Riki TiksWith residencies from some of the city's finest decksmiths, and boasting two bars as well as stylish leather booths, mirrors, projections and gallery space, Riki Tik is regarded as one of the best late-night venues in Brighton. Yet it has a strong daytime following too, now opening at 10am for fair-trade organic coffee and herbal teas as well as alcohol (happy hour 4 ‘til 8), with the popular Toasty menu being served all day. |  |
Ancient MarinerNamed for its location on Coleridge Street in Poet’s Corner, the Ancient Mariner is a large, stylish and family-friendly pub with a loyal following of regulars. Sarah and Simon head up a few recent arrivals among the staff, but despite the new faces, the atmosphere and feel remain true to that for which the pub has long been known and loved. |  |
