| Peculiarly, I had yet to venture inside this rather prominent pub, until last Friday. I suspect that a combination of pull factors (stand up the Lord Nelson and Evening Star!) and push factors (hordes of lager-swillers spilling out onto the front area during Summer) were responsible for this. I had spied that there were a couple of surprisingly unusual ales on the night before so decided to find out for sure. Happy was I to find a selection of four beers, including WJ King's none-too-easy to find "Mother-in-Law" at a barnstormingly cheap £2.50 a pint! And it was on fine form too; no sign of a price cull to pass off old beer ASAP. I did have some difficulty fighting through the scores of predominantly post-work crowds to reach the curiously deep bar (looks like the hordes referred to earlier stuff themselves into the pub on less clement days), but a busy pub is a happy one and it is not to be taken for granted nowadays, so good luck to them. Whilst a rather different animal to its nearby competitors, this offers a kind of London-style drinking shed experience - it has two floors and many corridors in which to lurk and slurp, in tandem with an emphatically Brightonian vibe - piercings, political debate, foreign nik-naks and today's Guardian were all in check. I must say although much of that sounds ghastly to my mind, I kind of liked it. Nowt wrong with a bit of affectation if it can be mixed with affability and affordability. TWG - 16 Mar 2010 18:00 |
| always lively and busy in there, with a smart alternative crowd on the whole, benefits from a good central location on the way down to north laine from the station. Always has a good couple of ales on offer, and the separate rooms and corners of the pub lend a lot to the general ambiance. pocketshepherd - 2 Jan 2010 05:08 |
| Good reliable pub, conveniently positioned between the excellent Lord Nelson and Evening Star. Very popular and deservedly so. baxterfish - 11 Nov 2009 08:00 |
| vibrant and lovely makes you feel like you're part of a 'scene' alas not quite such good service as a couple of years ago.. i fear it's a victim of it's own success.. being so close to the station it must not have to try too hard. moonmonk - 13 Apr 2009 00:03 |
