About 15 different IPA’s on tap but not one bitter available so very disappointed The beers they have though a reasonably priced for central Brighton

Great pub for beer. Good location but slightly off the busy routes to avoid the stags and hens. Good place for locals. Also some great tables for cards and dominoes. Very clean.

Lovely little off the beaten track pub! Great selection of beers on tap, great crisp selection (no other food options) & a little suntrap of Limited seating out the front. Had a lovely afternoon here.

Best beer selection in Brighton, overwhelming amount of choice. Nice, cosy atmosphere & the food is also very good. One negative is that the seating is very uncomfortable, like sitting in a church pew which has put us off from going here more frequently. Cushions would definitely help

Love this little pub. Went there on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. Was treated to two delicious stouts. Service was excellent and the atmosphere was gentle and calm.

What an awesome pub, with just the most amazing rotating beer selection. Loads of well kept cask beer, lots of stunning keg options and a well stocked fridge of special beers for sharing. Will most definitely be heading back here again, in fact its given me a reason to want to go to Brighton more often to have the chance to drink here again.

By far the best pub near Brighton station with a great selection of keg, cask and ciders at very reasonable prices. It’s fairly small so can get crowded at times, but that’s testament to this pub’s popularity. I tried a Schneider Weisse beer which was great. It’s always worth popping in here if you’re near the station.

Good selection of cask, craft keg and even a delicious real cider I’d not tried before. We enjoyed the buzz and nice chilled and friend vibe early week. The food was excellent; spicy and very tasty. The lentil fritters were a highlight.

★★★★★ 5/5
Impeccable. Incredible beer selection. Fair prices and you can adjust beer to glass size based on strength. I was on the fence about food but it comes in from neighbouring Sri Lankan restaurant. Best calamari I’ve ever had! If I had to find a problem. My first pint of cask was under carbed. But a everything off keg was incredible. Staff recommended some other bars to visit too. Dog friendly by the way.
