| Very busy on a lovely sunny Friday afternoon so plenty of drinkers ouside but the pub has a good atmosphere. Different crowd to the evening shift when music is on upstairs. A good selection of beers inc Oscar Wilde Mild on the day in question. stevenagec - 5 Oct 2011 22:00 |
| I must congratulate the previous reviewer (TWG) : he/she has given a very good account of the 'louche' interior. At first sight, this pub may not appear to be up to much but, like all good pubs it slowly reveals its hidden charms. This is certainly one of the top 3 pubs in Brighton. malo66 - 13 May 2010 18:12 |
| 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 |
