Cheerful and attentive staff.
Decent pint of Black Sheep.
Good Sunday roast (always a good indicator of quality)
Relaxed atmosphere.
Great one for chilled lunch, rather than lads' night out.

Friendly, cheerful service and some Jamaican dub playing which is far more interesting than the M People Lighthouse Family sandwich you get in most hostelries nowadays.
The beer is good and the location is prime. Terenced almost breaks into a smile.

Really good pub , nice bar staff good beer,good music, the food is second to none, i hope it stays the same,so many pubs become the victim of their own sucsess, we have a potential victim

If ever you are in Brighton visit this place.
I have been here a few times over the years and it's always remained consistant with excellent service, decent prices (the house wine is really good!) and mainly fun!
It's on the rat run for Stag and Hen weekends in the summer time but the managers keep a really tight hold on these parties and do not let them dominate.
Always a good night to be had there and think that anyway can enjoy what it has to offer.

We ducked in here after checking out engagement rings in the Lanes (I think my hubby-to-be very much needed a beer!) A roaring fire greeted us, along with some incredibly friendly bar staff. We holed up next to the fire for a couple of hours, drinking ale and red wine and eating some of the best pub food I have ever tasted (very reasonably priced also.)
Highly recommended!

This is how all pubs should be on a cold winters day when trying to escape the hordes.
Roaring log fire, incredibly friendly and helpful bar staff (possibly the best I have ever seen in a pub, anywhere).
Top range of ales and the food, well, to offer venison steak and vension casserole, reasonably priced, that tastes fantastic, you just don't see it in most boozers.
To top it all off, table service when eating and when the bill came, no cheeky attempt to get a tip by handing the card machine back to you to try and force you into tipping before PIN time.
Magnificent - only wished to god I lived in Brighton so this could be my local.

The Adnams Broadside is looked after nicely. Friendly enough staff...
Charming location. An affirming pat on the back from terenced.
|
This is a must for visitors to Brighton. A traditional pub that seems to have remained largely unchanges. Very busy, but good staff, good beer at reasoonable prices.
|
I like this pub. Will always pop in if out on the town. Nice beer, cosy, good atmosphere. For town centre pub it does well to retain most of its charm!
|
Charming location and beer is well kept.
Nothing outstanding as such but works well as a pub to visit... perhaps not enough character to be a regular haunt.
|
It's ok. Thats about as descriptive as i can get for this place. Lack of larger tables make it difficult if you have more than 2 friends (id imagine). Just feels a little soul-less to me im afraid. Nothing to bad about it, just nothing too good either. The bloke from the 'fast show' drinks there some times if you want to stalk him up
|
On a re-visit, decent enough hostelry which was covered in fake dust for Halloween I guess. Some pubs have real dust all year round don't they?
|
The pub wasnt too bad - got in there just before last orders. Johnny Cash was playing which was cool. Seemed pretty chilled in there but then, it was the end of the night.
|
One of the best locations in the city but not one of the best pubs. I use it sometimes during the day and occasionaly week day evenings for a swift one mainly because of where it is. Dont get me wrong, theres nothing bad about it but it is a bit ordinary for where it is. If you have never used it it's worth a pint or 2 but not much more,
|
Nice little pub, good friendly staff, not bad range on tap
Seems to have a large 'lunch' following, old and young (watch the mass exodus at 2ish) and music adds a nice atmosphere
Has a bit of a drab feel to the pub but a laugh. Not really large enough for a big group meeting though...
|
Well-kept Adnams Broadside... of that there is no doubt.
Friendly and helpful bar staff... good location.
Not sure what it's like of an evening but previous posts suggest clientele cannot always be great. However when myself and a fellow traveller had the pleasure of a visit, it was pleasant enough.
Worth a visit.

In the last 12 months the Bath Arms has gone downhill fast. The ales are usually in a very poor state- if they have ale on at all. This is doubly disappointing since the pub boasts a Cask Marque plaque outside.
|
This pub is ok! It's a good place to start the night as it's central - but you are right about the chavs. But lately they seem to be everywhere...!
|
Hit and miss boozer, mainly miss. Horrible in the summer at w/e's when it gets full of chavs from Scumdon who wear to much bad gold.
Still, it has been known to sell half decent ale now and again.

A jug of vinegar upset over my veggie-burger? No worries, mate. Gristle and bone in the sausages? No worries, mate. Well, actually, yes worries, mate. Also irritation (if not actual worries) at having our fairly tidy table spray-cleaned while we were still at it. This was ham-fisted, if not actually malevolent, pub-hospitality in the raw. You may not get this waiter/barman and your sausages may be bone- and gristle-free. The Sussex is well-kept and the setting very central and bustling in the Lanes. No big parties of blokes at weekends, says a notice on the door. Last night it was sparsely populated with a wide age-range. Folksy décor, good window-based views, though not of the sea.

Nice relaxing pub with good beer. We love Auntie Brenda!

Nice selection as pointed out before. The only problem is that it is IN the Lanes, so if you're out on a Friday / Saturday night, it's going to be half-full of stag and hen parties, probably on their way to Horatio's on the Pier.
Weekdays are normally pretty good, DJs and quizzes some nights as far as I can remember.
|
Always been mobbed on the occasions that I've visited but there always seems to be a good atmsophere and as Dennis says, a good selection of beers.
|
Its worth a look at this pub in The Lanes. Good selection of beers.
