The Watchmakers Arms, Hove

Lovely pub with a lovely atmosphere. Really friendly staff that seem to be enjoying the whole experience. I have visited a few times since it's opening a couple of weeks ago, and am thoroughly impressed with the progress that they have made.

As a slightly younger customer, it has been nice to introduce friends to the wonder that is ale, and socialise with people of all ages. On a standard night out, it is unusual to find myself in genuine conversation with strangers, and it makes a welcome change.

In reply to the previous comment, it seems slightly ridiculous to suggest that TWA has turned into a 'drinking den' for the owners' friends to commandeer as their own. The whole purpose of a micro pub is to promote conversation and make new friends. Maybe it's not so ridiculous that you struggled to do so.

All in all, great pub, great beer and a fun evening.
