Our Favourites
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. |  |
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. |  |
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. |  |
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. |  |
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. |  |
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. |  |
merkabamerkaba - myhotel's sumptuous lounge and cocktail bar is a destination denof edgy design and aspirational cocktails.
Drawing on the uncompromising designs of Karim Rashid, curved walls made from slatted hard wood, interspersed with luxurious light blue suede, are set against an intricate azure terrazzo flooring creating a welcoming cocoon. |  |
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. |  |
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 GracesSeneca envisaged them as smiling nude maidens. The Florentine philosophers thought they represented the three stages of love: beauty, desire and fulfillment. And among those who have had a go at depicting them in art are Antonio Canova, Francesco Del Cosa, Botticelli, Pontormo and, most famously, the Italian Renaissance painter Raphael. |  |
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 HopeWith a highly central position between the Clock Tower and Brighton station, the Hope is a bustling, music-led, watering hole popular with everyone from skinny, guitar-toting types to the after-work crowd, with the location guaranteeing a regular supply of fresh faces. There are always quality tunes on the stereo, from 13th Floor Elevators to The Automatic; a recently installed pizza oven, meanwhile, means no-one need go hungry. |  |
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. |  |
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. |  |
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. . |  |
XumaIn various places and at various times, Xuma - with an X or a Z - has been the name of a classic Neil Young album, an Aztec god and a Californian beach. Since summer 2006, it has also been the name of the Seven Dials' most characterful bar. Combining gallery and drinking haunt, it's a warm and atmospheric environment, with red velvet seating surrounded on all sides by paintings and photography, much of it locally produced; there is also a second, more intimate seating area downstairs. |  |
Leconfield ArmsA good ole locals pub with a large number of regulars, the Lord Leconfield Arms is the sort of traditional no-nonsense watering hole that’s becoming increasingly rare in the face of the pre-club bar invasion. The focus is more on maintaining a friendly, genuinely welcoming atmosphere than on specific events, but they do screen sports matches, offer pool and darts and host various one-off live music events. They also offer an excellent beer garden. |  |
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. |  |
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. |  |
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. |  |
Mash TunWith its “friendly food… tasty bar staff” sign, the Mash Tun is one of the best-known pubs in Brighton and has become a local landmark as well as one of the town’s most popular meeting points. They also have a good daytime trade, serving food (reasonably priced classic pub grub) seven days a week. |  |
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. |  |
JamIn the central Brighton site previously occupied by Water Margin, Jam offers an altogether more gig-based experience, with pre- and post-show drinks available in the newly refurbished upstairs bar. Focusing on emerging talent, Jam also hosts boutique club nights with music ranging from dubstep to rhythm and blues. Recent events include launch parties for both Loop Festival and The Great Escape. |  |
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. |  |
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. |  |
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). |  |
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. |  |
Thomas KempHaving undergone a serious going-over since its days as Polar East, The Thomas Kemp now boasts a rather different character, with old maps on the wall and even a full suit of armour in the corner. There's a sun-trap beer garden to the rear, while windows at front and back are thrown wide open duirng summer; in winter, you're best off staying inside and making yourself acquainted with the cake. Not just in the winter, for that matter. |  |
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. |  |
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. |  |
