Our Favourites
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. |  |
LifeABOUT LIFE:
“Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. . |  |
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. |  |
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. |  |
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. |  |
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. |  |
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. |  |
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. |  |
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 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. |  |
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. |  |
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. |  |
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 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. |  |
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 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. |  |
KultureKulture is one of Brighton's favourite late night venues with live DJ's 5 nights a week from 7pm until 3am. Situated slap bang in the middle of all of the late night action on Brightons infamous party strip, West Street.
Have a drink in the bar area & watch all the latest music videos on the huge screens, book one of their plush 5 star booths in the lounge area, party the night away in the club area & just relax in the North african themed heated garden lounge. |  |
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. |  |
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. |  |
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. |  |
Duke of NorfolkWith well-stocked bookshelves, signs and trinkets from bygone eras and a classic noble name (complete with Latin motto), the Duke of Norfolk is bursting with old-school charm. The place has much of the feel and atmosphere of a traditional pub –except, seeing as it's actually the 21st century 'n' all, they also have more modern perks like wi-fi access too. Look out for DJs at weekends and a weekly open mic night. |  |
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’. |  |
Saint George'sA cosy, relaxed, pub tucked away behind Kemp Town village, the St George's Inn has now been taken over by Steve - formerly of the legendary Shakespeare's Head - ably assisted by Chewie, Beth and Tomme. Stuffed full of memorabilia, and also boasting the coveted green sofa, everyone's welcome in this "cast iron killer local" (The Brighton Source). A selection of well-kept ale is served on rotation, alongside the ever-popular Harveys. |  |
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. |  |
FishbowlWith a central location and DJs four nights a week, the Fishbowl is a lively and popular late-night drinking haunt but not your average pre-club – for starters, they won’t allow large groups. Look out too for the acoustic music night, entitled Gone Fishing, every Sunday, and the monthly Late Night Lounging session featuring big-name London DJs. |  |
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. . |  |
Pull and PumpThe Pull and Pump is a traditional pub with a warm and friendly atmosphere, frequented by a wide range of locals and regulars as well as passing shoppers looking to escape from the hustle and bustle of central Brighton. Located just off Western Road and only a minute walk from the Churchill centre, The Pull and Pump offers the perfect retreat for those needing to take the weight off their feet and consider their new purchases. |  |
QuadrantLocated on the landmark Clock Tower at the junction of North Street, Queen’s Road, West Street and Dyke Road, this well-loved pub has recently reopened, entirely refurbished, after a four-year closure. Bounded by four of the busiest roads in the city, the Quadrant is a busy stop-off for people moving between all the major destinations in Brighton and Hove. |  |
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. . |  |
