| What a lovely quaint pub!!! Easily one of the best in Brighton Very friendly locals. I soon was made to feel like a local myself. Good honest prices too. Cosy. Couldn't fault it. Well done! djfunnyboi79 - 9 Oct 2011 15:57 |

| Love this pub. A really eccentric tiny boozer that brews its own beer on site (Kemptown Brewery). The standard best is OK I think but their bitter called China (as in porcelain rather than the country) is lovely. Usually at least three real ales that change regularly, often more. A large selection of Belgian bottles beers too. Food comes in the form of warm pies. Great music including fantastic jazz on Sundays. The odd quirky event - e.g. Christmas decoration making afternoon and the annual pickled egg competition. Decor eclectic - tired old benches, old newspaper clippings, snipped off neck-ties dangling from the beams, and yes, the ceiling Victoriana 'porn' as previously mentioned (more some old risque b&w images so don't be offended). There's even a 10p one-armed bandit to keep you amused. Almost a cross between a pub and an old curiosity shop. Drinkers are characterful - arty students, colourful locals, ale fans and those that just appreciate the unique (and usually a couple of dogs). This is the sort of pub that we need to keep! A gem.

| Must be 20 years since I was here and it's still good. One beer brewed on the premises and 3 others, I think, from micros. Only one block back from the sea front to the east of the pier. Steamer1 - 30 Aug 2011 18:47 |
| We really enjoyed our visit. There always needs to be pubs like this in addition to the more standard ones. Trinker - 21 Jul 2011 11:35 |
