Sunday roast... not great, in fact not even good. Tasteless beef, bullet peas and bitter wine gravy. £14 x2 not well spent. Do not bother eating your Sunday roast here. Good service although it was just about empty so really no excuse to be anything other. Can't speak for the evening drinks, so shall have to drop in sometime in order to comment. Hope it's better than the food.

When your change comes in a little metal tray it's not really a pub at all, and when you've just paid 3 quid and something for a pint of mediocre Guinness, you're not feeling all that generous anyway, I think.

Don't bother! Went there a few weeks ago & had a pleasant evening so arranged to meet friends there again this Saturday. Arrived to find the whole place booked out to private parties - several wasted journeys (some from across London) & a ruined evening.
Go to the Ruby Lounge instead.

Fairly good interior with an enormo-mirror at one end - better in fact than the drab exterior suggests. Full of happy Gooners who all beetled off to the Clock End twenty minutes before K-O, after a rousing singalong to Chas n Dave's Greatest Misses. Guinness was pretty fair but the sun hadn't yet reached the terrace, which left me feeling a little chilly. The prospect of trying to digest a cold fatty bacon roll in these conditions was less than appealing. So I didn't.

Popped in here for a warm-up pint on Saturday morning, and was fortunate enough to be joining a very lively and noisy set of Gooners - their pre-match chants and singalongs fuelled by a suitably minded DJ. The terrace offered some breathing space, and evidence of some kind of bacon-butty-breakfast-bonanza. As kick-off approached the pub emptied completely leaving only the barmaid and us. So a stark contrast in atmospheres, but overall not a bad place. Crucially, it was open pre-midday.

Had a party here upstairs and it was all very nice. Good place.

Now called "Canal 125" this bar has huge potential. A decent selection of imported beers (Heineken, Budvar etc) and the atmosphere is nice and relaxed in the daytime but quite different on a Firday night! The outdoor terrace is fantastic on a sunny afternoon, and there are decent rooms upstairs for private functions. The restaurant area is really nicely done too.

Went to this place a couple of times and found the staff to be the rudest people i've ever met behind a bar. Terrible. The place was empty but glasses all over the place.
Nice located though

Utterly mental. b3ta.com has their bash here and I for one went to their 2nd birthday outing here. Can remember going there, running out the beer, punching a marrow in to the street below and whistling "The Hustle" lots.
Ace. And the beer wasn't overpriced as Matt said, it's cheaper than most bars I've been to in Brighton!

One to avoid. (Unless you like overpriced drinks in a dank dark room that is)
Babushka is one of those places that's empty most the time except when it gets packed for an hour between 5.30 and 6.30 on a Friday when all the local officeworkers with nowhere else to go have their post work tipple and swiftly move on somewhere better. Go to the Ruby Lounge on Caledonian Road for a better time.
