Perfectly acceptable pub to stop by with congenial staff, nothing special but nothing wrong with it either, although the outside drinking area is right alongside the road. Popular with the theatre and pre-clubbing crowd on weekend evenings.

An excellent small pub with a nice outside seated area situated right at the start of the North Lanes. I visited during some heavy rain and there was a couple of customers in but no-one outside. 4 ales on tap, 2 of them were local brews. I had an excellent Old Chestnut from Dark Star. Pleasant staff, customers friendly and courteous, all in all a pleasant experience. I would recommend this pub if in Brighton as it will probably surprise you.

Been to the Waggon a few times now and still keep going back. A drinkers pub with friendly bar staff and the locals are friendly too. One of the few pubs in Brighton that remember what I drink when I call in!

Not a great deal of selection in real ales, but what they do have is kept well, and they specialise in fine whisky's which isn't my thing but I am impressed!

I just thought I'd show my appreciation for the pub, long may it prosper!!

Lovely staff and a good selection of drinks. Other than that it's a basic pub with a nice atmosphere that gets very crowded on Saturday nights. Would recommend as a stop off on a city center crawl.

Peculiarly, 2 weeks ago saw my maiden visit to this pub, surely one of very few I haven't managed to get into in this area over the years despite not being from Brighton. Initial impressions didn't suggest anything too out of the ordinary, but then again there is much to be said for that; a good sound boozer than knows what it does best without any gimmicks or pretence is to be welcomed, all the more so in a city dosed up on a plethora of plasticated places prefaced by the word "bar".
Modest selection of 2/3 ales but complimented by the unusual presence of real perry on pump: well worth a go for those who believe that cider can be pear-flavoured, should be fizzy, poured from a bottle and served over ice - hopefully you might be converted. Service was friendly (keep up the good work ladies), and the punters were of a mixed age and class - although accented towards the younger end in the evenings especially as the Waggon seemed to be something of a magnet to hen parties etc. Nowt wrong with that as long as no beer is spilled!

Another one to chalk up for the notional pan-Brightonian crawl, if not a pub which justifies a whole evening to itself.
