Our Favourites
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. |  |
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. |  |
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. |  |
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. |  |
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. |  |
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. |  |
LifeABOUT LIFE:
“Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. . |  |
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. |  |
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. |  |
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. |  |
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’. |  |
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. |  |
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 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. |  |
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. . |  |
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. |  |
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. |  |
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. |  |
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. |  |
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. |  |
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. |  |
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 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. |  |
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. |  |
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. |  |
CoalitionOccupying a prime location on the City's world famous beach front, The Brighton Coalition is a brand new arts and entertainment venue, showcasing a varied program of live music, comedy and entertainment. Open 7 days a week, with a cafe canteen run by the people who brought you Pinxto People, The Brighton Coalition will be yet another reason why you should be down by the sea. |  |
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. |  |
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 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. |  |
