Watched the rugby here yesterday... What a find! Lovely atmosphere, helpful staff and the best of beers! A great pub tucked quaintly away from the hustle and bustle of Western Rd.
Good food , friendly & attentive staff & managment
Highly recommends ohh and great kraft beer
I visited here by accident after the venue I was planning to go to was closed for a private event.
Because of the name, I had assumed this place was just good for beer but I was pleasantly surprised to find a lovely, cosy pub. Yes, there is a great range of craft beer but there's also lots of other drinks on offer, and the food we ordered was lovely too (chips were particularly good, and staff were very also helpful with dietary requirements).
There was a nice, friendly vibe here and would happily return again. Great size TV for football, too (there was a match on the night I visited but only a few people seemed to be watching).
So new review from me for this place. The craft beer co in Brighton has recently undergone a refurbishment. It is now a bit more traditional in its decor style. But it's not just the decor that has transformed. There are more drinks options, with a larger selection on tap. There is also more variety in the food - vegans now get at least one option on the menu a day, whereas before it was a case of surviving on bar nibbles. The staff are all still their wonderful selves & very knowledgeable about their drinks offerings. Sadly if you have difficulty mobilising there is a limited amount of space for you as you can only make it through one entrance & the rest of the pub & it's toilets are accessible only through stairs.
This is an improvement overall, now we just need to wait & see if the heating in the winter works! Or we can just warm ourselves with friendship & booze :)

Great cask & keg selection at premium prices. Dropped in there as the final stop of my day visit to Brighton in October. Tired of having walked up and down the hill (and up and down again, and again) during the day, I was happy to unwind at this "micro"pub in the early evening. The emphasis is very firmly on modern style keg beers, and there's plenty to choose from. About half the beers are in steady rotation, the other half are "keepers". There's a printed list available, with the ABV and style of each item included. Some of the beers are very expensive, think of UK 7 for a high ABV half-pint, or even a third. A little too expensive methinks, but Brighton is a tourist spot and prices along the Channel coast tend to be on the higher side of the spectrum anyway. It's a friendly place, with highly knowledgeable and welcoming staff, so I lingered for more than two hours and had a bite, too, one of their burgers (which was good and not too expensive). Beer wise, expect to spend at least UK6 and up on the regular ABV pints. I was in a bit of an agitated mood when I came there, due to problems with my vaping equipment, but the atmosphere made me calm down in due course. Good place altogether, and conveniently close to the station.
This is an excellent pub. A group of us had an amazing afternoon when we enjoyed a beer tasting session hosted by Ric. Who would have thought an afternoon on the lash could be educational too! The range of beers available are mind boggling, catering for every taste, style and price possible. The only thing left to say is thank you.
Called in early Sunday lunchtime, landlady was really helpful and friendly. The beer was well kept and a reasonable price. You do need to watch the beer prices, check the menu before rushing in, as some of the stronger specials are expensive. That apart, highly recommended.
Excellent Sunday roast. The turkey was lovely and moist and crispy crackling with the pork! The vegetables were perfectly cooked with plenty of variety, the 12 hour gravy rich and meaty, Yorkshire puds were fluffy and crispy. Well done chef! Brilliant service too, keeping the place clean and safe. Great choice of beers and football showing.
Great range of beers and friendly staff who are clearly passionate about the tastes on offer. I had a burger that almost blew my head off too. Massive, meaty and juicy with excellent homemade chip fries. Wicked.
Awesome selection of beer. The menu/selection is regularly updated. The staff know the beers on tap and can advise when choosing. The food is generous and lovely. I always enjoy the experience. Friendly atmosphere and diverse crowd.
Two Sunday lunches here recently, both beef and both delicious and a challenge to finish (I didn't!)... chunky slices of medium rare beef and super beers and wine to accompany.
Best spuds I've had on a pub roast (rival my Mum's). Book but can turn up for a 'bar table' if there's 2 of you.
The atmosphere is great and has that little pub feel whilst being bustling and always full. Craft beers all over the place. Amazing flavours and a huge palate of tastes, strengths and prices! Can be quite expensive!!
