| Considering what a great city Brighton is and it has so much to offer this venue is irrelevant. There is so many better places to go in Brighton you are very spoilt for choice. Being in this Walkabout you may as well be sitting in Croydon, Bromley, Wimbledon or Centreal London. so don't bother. it's full of the usual heavy handed bouncers, threatening blokes and vulnerable girls. if you are visiting Brighton, visit for what it has to offer. you will be pleasantly surprised. there is no need to go to a clone Australian bar. Some Australian who live and work in Sydney think they are horrendous places. TheDaleks - 14 Sep 2008 14:21 |
| I have read through some of these comments and it seems some people have suggested things rather than given actual fact. So here is the honesty. The reason Walkabout and all venues over a 600 capacity serve in plastics is down to local police licensing asking them to do so. There is police presence in west street but this is not for any place in perticular. Its for public safety and to control the many people coming out of this congested area. As im sure you can appreciate there are many clubs and bars in west street. No its not the ritz and yes its a loud party bar thats open till 3am but it also has live music, and sport, plus DJ's and drinks deals. So all in all its not a bad venue to go to and rarely has trouble, as per the award for best bar from sussex police shows above the door as you walk in. Reviewers so not suggest things, but rather review them. As far as i see the walkabout, its loud, its fun, theres a good atmosphere and its cheaper than many over late night places. deejay - 18 Aug 2008 05:46 |
| OMG savage pub! 5 girls have been over frm Ireland to Brighton for the past 3 yrs and we always go to the Walkabout with the intention of goin to the club nxt door but we do have such a good time that we never seem to make it to the club! The staff were friendly behind the bar even though they didnt know what fat frogs were but we tuaght them ha ha! Bouncers very nice especially Harry! Im a bit surprised by some of the comments on this as we absolutely love this pub and always have a great night in it, even better when The Chebbs are playing! See ya nxt year!

| Located at the bottom of fight street, this place would be a poor choice in a town that boasts such an amazing range of pubs. Any place where police wagons are parked outside before any trouble has kicked off should raise alarm bells with any sensible person. anonymous - 28 Oct 2007 20:11 |
| Agree with the previous comments 100%. Not somewhere I'd want to revisit in a hurry. Plastic glasses don't add tothe ambience but do explain rather a lot about the place. JohnFoley - 27 Jan 2007 13:45 |
