I like the Seven Stars. Hope it stays as is as it is decent, friendly, decent beer and good food.
Leave it alone that's what I say.
|
Rumour has it its not making money as seven stars and will be sold and turned into a slug and lettuce..its just a rumour so far though!
|
Now reopened as the 'Seven Stars' by Youngs - after a tasteful refurbishment. On our visit there last Sunday, the two barmaids were very polite and the place seemed to have a pleasant atmosphere. A big improvement; this 'new pub' will do well.
|
Now closed - which is disappointing as this place worked rather well.
|
Pleasantly Surprised!!
I'd been put off this place a few years ago;
- the staff WERE crap
- the manager WAS lazy and clearly didn't give a monkey's.
- food WAS late and cold
It used to be THE place to go in the late 90's then it went down hill when this rude w@nker of a manager took over.
A few weeks ago I walked in there it was immediately apparent that lots had changed, the staff were friendly and polite, food came fast and tasted gooood despite it being full of people watching the rugby.
Altogether a pleasure to re-visit an old haunt and equally a pleasure to see this pub regaining the edge it used to have.
Top marks to the team for turning it around!

Very easy to knock O'Neills but the one in Brighton seems to work very well.
Charming bar staff. Decent range on tap. Decent Guinness and the all day Irish breakfast is a pleasure.
Not a fan of the chain at all but this one simply does the business.
|
Since the manager has arrived it has really come on leaps and bounds and is a credit to the chain, big improvement from the last miserable fucker on a landlord!!!!!

So a tired old 90s chain, but actually a well-stocked bar with a couple of decent stouts, lagers and the mighty erdinger on tap.
Food is standard fayre.
Not deserving of great accolades but did seem to making something of an effort on the occasion I passed by there.
|
My god what a dump. Staff are rude, beer is rubbish, and the food is awful. It's about time this tired old Irish junk is laid to rest.
|
Nice place, beer was good, plenty of better pubs in the area.
|
Yes its a chain but the food is good the Black stuff is plentiful, And when I was there the staff were very good
|
Yeah, it was one of the places to go in 1996.
Did use to serve late thursdays mind!
|
Predictable chain pub concept, that was briefly in vogue in 1996 I think. Overpriced tourist trap, about as Irish as Vodka
|
I use this place during the week, normally, for a libation or two. Went in tonight and was greeted by the sight of severl luvverly ladeez in grass skirts! Made my Saturday, anyway.
Things must have changed since the last post about this place, btw - Guvnor and staff are always welcoming and friendly, food is good (All Day Breakfast especially) and would recommend it to anyone
|
Well, The Life O'Riley survived the experience and from what I saw, I am not sure what all the fuss is about..I didnt have to tackle the doormen, as I arrived 3 hours before they did, but the atmosphere in the venue was fun, boisterous and just the way we would have liked it. Had a great time
|
The Life O'Riley play this venue on 31st October and as a band we are looking forward to it. It would be nice to be able to help to get some people through the door, and anyone willing to give it a second chance (music wise at any rate) are not going to be disappointed. Check out the website and come for a Great night out.
I will reserve judgement on all of the other remarks thus far entered until 1st November....if i survive it.
|
I quite like it myself. Doormen may be rude but they keep the scum out and I have never seen a fight in it. I find it a safe fun place to drink.

Worst Bar I've ever been so unfortunate to visit. too hot & stuffy. dirty toilets and the rudest staff in Brighton.
I will not be back

The guy who runs this place has just taken over from a pretty useless manager, and he is licking the place into shape. I had a few good evenins here. Up and coming - watch this space.

Obviously (Mark 23rd Spt 03) hasnt seen many bars. Please take the "Irish bar" description down or someone will take you to court. Unfriendly, untidy, unwelcoming...thats not Irish believe me.

oh my god makes me embarrassedto be irish, so much ofr the friendly welcome. sort the doormen out !!!!
Therese - 4 Jul 2004 17:09 |
never again, absolut crap no character and as for standard of live music last weeks attempt was brutal. would do better myself and that isnt saying much!!!staff unfriendly and doormen rude.

just moved to brighton and have tried a few of the local pubs. This pub is the worst ever, rude untrained staff, door staff are big headed plonkers and the assistant manager needs to come down a peg or two and realise how to treat customers if you want repeat business.and their favorite line is we are an english pub with an irish theme( does that give them the right to be rude!!also how come you see customers with english shirts on but i know people who where wearing irish jerseys and refused entry. it will be the last time i ever set foot in the place!!!!!

Great bar to go to, Has a dj on fridays and saturdays and live music on thursdays and sundays. Also has an open mic night with loal bands from Brighton on a Monday. Is one of the best in the O'Neills chain. I would give this a 9/10.
