Great pub! Good location, friendly staff, reasonable prices. The interior and exterior are lovely. The building dates back to the 1920s. Plenty of seating that covers two floors. Restrooms are upstairs, but there is a handicapped restroom on the ground floor as well as handicapped accessible entrance. It was a busy pub, but the bar staff were on top of things so orders were fulfilled in a timely manner. Definitely the better JD Wetherspoon pub of the two that are in Brighton.
Normal spoons. It's only good for a cheap beer like others I've been to better. No atmosphere, boring, but I have given it 4 stars instead of the normal 3 because of the chicken wings I had. They were probably the best wings I've ever had. Even better than wing stop.

A great Wetherspoons located in the centre of Brighton.. whilst in Brighton for Pride weekend we popped into many bars although we ended up frequenting here regularly.
The place was extremely busy with barely a spare table/chair on any of our visits.
We enjoyed Traditional Breakfasts on one of the mornings, at £4.99, great value for money. (Ignore the fact the menu shows as The Bright Helm, they had the wrong name showing, albeit put signs up everywhere to ensure people knew where they were especially when ordering on the App)
The pub had the usual Wetherspoons decor and was heavily invested in supporting and celebrating Pride, great to see. 🏳️🌈🌈
The staff were utterly amazing, super friendly and so helpful (especially in terms of assisting with charging my phone, thank you). Even though the staff were rushed off their feet they remained friendly and happy. The security staff were also friendly too.
The whole place was welcoming and really helped us enjoy Pride even more... thank you.
Overall, great location, good value for money, fantastic staff and service. Based on the three Wetherspoons within Brighton this is our favourite.. followed by The West Quay at the Marina. I would not bother visiting The Bright Helm, no way near the same vibe.
Decent scampi, chips and peas. Order came with garden, not mushy peas, apart from that, brilliant.
Only got 4 stars, as not really my kind of place.
Food was hot, and proper scampi, not mushed up fishy bits.
Drinks and 2 scampi and chips for just over £21, can't really grumble.
Came in for a quick pre gig pint so ordered at the bar not knowing how long table service would be. Being a Monday evening we were surprised when there was no lemonade the rum we ordered was also out (the cheapest one on the menu) The guy behind the bar was very nice about it and we enjoyed the drinks we had but it seemed like very basic things to run out of.
As always, cheap beer and reasonable food quality and price. Very busy pub and in desperate need for a clean and refurbishment. More staff required too and some table cleaning.
The breakfasts, both normal and large, are still reasonably good value. The thing that let's them down for me though is the poor quality of baked beans piled on the plate. If I forget to ask for no beans, I leave them on the plate, lonely and untouched. Perhaps they should stop penny-pinching and use Heinz.
Went too Brighton for the Day with the Grandkids, fancied a drink and found a Wetherspoon's
Never been in this one and you know they welcome children, it was quiet so we decided to have lunch there as we had comfortable seats.
The food was tasty and served nice and hot, friendly staff and waited around 10 to 15 minutes for order to arrive. One of the kids had a cheeseburger, the other a spicy pizza, the wife had all day breakfast while I had a toasted ham and cheese panini all meals were great.
Would recommend here, and we will be returning when next in Brighton, great value for money.

My favourite of the 2 spoons in the city centre, it is spacious and never as busy as The Bright Helm. Service is speedy even when on the app. However, if you're ordering for yourself, you might as well go the bar as it's always quicker. Furniture is dated, and the room gets dark in some spots, so it can sometimes feel dingy at times, but this shouldn't deter you from visiting.
As always with this chain, you get simple stuff at a great price.
A pint of ale for £1-71! Prices are unbeatable. The saying you get what you pay for just doesn't apply here, you get way more, these are prices from the 90's!
