The Bedford Tavern, Brighton

Since The Bedford Tavern in Western Street, Brighton, re-opened in March 2009, under 'New Management', all the regular local customers have been driven away and the surrounding pubs and bars nearby, are experiencing a substantial increase in their trade. The very sad thing is that The Bedford is now run like a sink-estate pub with seedy, aggressive looking customers, and not a local boozer. The pub interior looks like a badly decorated cheap, and chintzy 1985 high-rise council flat, which is very off-putting. I would avoid this pub at all costs, unless you are into that sort of rough, seedy dive-bar and want a pint and a fight - I would NOT call that a great Brighton night. I have rated zero points for this pub, because that's all it really deserves.
