| Totally overrated. No idea why it's so popular, evidence that some people (mainly tourists down for the weekend rather than Brighton locals) have no taste. With so many genuinely good pubs nearby (The Victory on Middle St for one) it's a wonder it hasn't been forced to up its game. Dizzysteinway - 28 May 2009 19:38 |
| not really sure where this fits, food is NOT cheap but fairly tasty, although seems to be the sum total of budget ingredients (mushroom burger on a McDonalds bun @ £8.50?!), drinks are priced at just above brighton average but served by people too busy checking how they look. must be busy at weekends to stay open i suppose? lovely decor but too cool for school springs to mind.... moonmonk - 17 Feb 2009 21:41 |
| probably one of my favourite pubs in Brighton. If you are walking past and blink you might miss it. The decor inside is modern (although the toilets were yuk!) and the feel is just right. chipstick - 23 Aug 2008 15:39 |
| We were on a mid-week break in Brighton and wandered into this pub from The Lanes after a hard day being tourists (we loved Brighton - cute place with heaps of character). The Black Lion looks quite traditional and cosy from the outside, so we thought it might be a bit small and 'Olde Worlde' on the inside - the light and airy interior came as a nice surprise. I'd definitely recommend it - there was a good atmosphere, the staff were very friendly and helpful and the drinks were great. We didn't get to try the food this time, but what we saw being served looked lovely - hopefully we'll get back soon and give it a try. dawnie - 25 Jul 2008 23:09 |
| The food here is absolutely incredible. I believe it was taken under new management as of march 08 and the new chef "Gil" was employed - The Pork Belly here is unquestionably the best I have ever had, and a genuinely friendly mix of staff is refreshing. The music here is mixed with an acoustic night on wednesdays or thursdays and a mix of djs on friday and saturday. Some better than others, but considering the clientelle on weekend nights is considerably younger and significantly more intoxicated I think the music caters adequately for the crowd. My experience of the beer here is good, I enjoy a pint here two maybe three times a week and have never had a bad experience. They change their range of ales about once every two months. All in all I enjoy food and a pint in this pub relatively frequently and would reccommend it. Those of you who have experienced the rather louder crowd and not so amazing music on friday or saturday nights. Give it another chance. And try the pork belly. Garwy - 14 Jul 2008 06:00 |
