Our Favourites
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. |  |
LifeABOUT LIFE:
“Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. . |  |
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. |  |
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. |  |
SidewinderLaid-back in the daytime and lively at night, the Sidewinder is a large and bustling watering hole that's firmly entrenched in the nightlife of Brighton, attracting drinkers from across the city as well as plenty of Kemptown locals. It is also surely the only pub in Brighton to boast not one but two large beer gardens, one of which is heated and covered with sofas to create the perfect outdoor drinking space. |  |
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. |  |
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. . |  |
Fiddlers ElbowDespite its close proximity to West Street, the Fiddler’s Elbow is a thriving traditional Irish pub – the only one in this part of Brighton. Said to serve the best pint of Guinness in the city (and probably the cheapest too) they also have an enormous selection of Guinness memorabilia on the walls and fixtures and fittings that actually originated in Ireland. You'll find a good selection of Irish whiskies on offer too. |  |
SignalmanThanks to a boom in the 1840s, dontcha know, Britain’s railway system is the oldest in the world. And though the trains haven’t improved much in terms of punctuality over the subsequent century and a half, the good news is that wherever those clever Victorians built stations, they also built station pubs, offering a warm, cosy environment for travelling passengers and station hands alike. |  |
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. |  |
Bar Lion D'orRecently refurbished to appeal to a wider market, offering a more relaxed and chilled feel than its previous upmarket wine bar concept. Lovely ‘sun –trap’ outside to people watch whilst enjoying a cold beer or nice glass of wine. Stylish but basic bar food on offer all week through. |  |
Doctor Brighton'sDoctor Brighton’s is situated on Brighton seafront, just to the west of the Palace Pier, and offers what is probably the largest selection of spirits in any pub in Brighton. Vodka is the pub’s specialty, maintaining a range of over 100 different vodkas from around the world, with a definite focus on Polish Vodkas.
Having a great range of spirits naturally means we are able to produce a fantastic range of cocktails, but we take just as much care with our real ales and lagers. |  |
The Connaught Pub & KitchenOur garden is simply lovely and one of the best kept secrets in Hove (so keep this to yourself!) It’s a relaxing sun-trap that’s perfect for eating, drinking, socialising or just catching few rays.
The Connaught Pub and Kitchen is a proper pub with real ales and carefully chosen wines. Add to that a great restaurant serving a British inspired menu made from the best organic meats, vegetables and the freshest locally landed fish we can find. |  |
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 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. |  |
Open House & Performer BarA large, stylish pub located next to London Road station, The Open House features three separate inside areas, plus an upstairs function room – not to mention one of the largest and most attractive beer gardens in Brighton. The food, served every day, is a particular highlight and while the pub is child-friendly during the day, they have occasional DJs, live music and improvisational comedy. |  |
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. |  |
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. |  |
The GlobeOne of the very few traditional pubs in close proximity to the seafront clubs. Instead of tacky pre-club décor, think mustard and deep red colouring, a copper-paneled ceiling, ornate mirrors, a chandelier and even a Sherlock Holmes style library downstairs. Yet it’s no old man’s boozer: they offer wireless connections for those with laptops and, for those without, a fully-connected PC on the bar. |  |
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. |  |
Great EasternAs a traditional real ale pub, The Great Eastern is proud to offer such classics as the local Harvey’s Best, Young’s Special and Gales HSB, as well as a offering famous and favorite guest ales from around the country. For those who like their drinks a little shorter, The Great Eastern boasts a selection of over 40 Bourbons, as well as a healthy selection of Irish and Scotch whiskies, gins, rums and vodkas, and range of classic cocktails to boot. |  |
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. |  |
CricketersThe oldest pub in Brighton, The Cricketers stands proudly in The Lanes. This pub attracts all types of customers from locals to visitors, all are welcome. Why not have a look upstairs at the cocktail bar, The Greene Room, which is steeped in history of the Brighton famous, Graham Greene and a past guest ‘Jack the Ripper’. |  |
Bath ArmsThe Bath Arms enjoys a reputation among tourists and locals alike as THE pub of The Lanes. Boasting reclaimed wood and antique furniture, paintings on the walls and an open fire, its cosy atmosphere combines elements of the traditional and the contemporary. The pub boasts a strong food menu, which is locally sourced and organic where possible, and wide drink selection, with a particular focus on wine and real ale. |  |
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 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. |  |
St JamesThe Saint James is a vibrant little pub with a huge bar and a relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere. Situated in the ‘bohemian’ Kemptown in East Brighton, the Saint James is as welcoming as the area is colourful. Only a stone’s throw from the beach, this convivial hostelry can be found nuzzling away from the hectic seafront, providing a safe haven for more discerning locals and well-informed holidaymakers alike. |  |
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. |  |
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. |  |
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!. |  |
