Suzuki-San is the OG master. Such a legend of the industry. Huge selection of bottles at very reasonable prices. Despite being such a small bar, almost every time I’ve visited over the years, even on a random mid-week day, I’ve bumped into whisky people I know from all around the world. Tokyo has a lot of great whisky bars, but I always make time for Mash Tun and Aloha.

The Chicken Burger was seriously the best burger I have ever had bar none! Not even joking. The crisp of the chicken, the honey glaze and combo with the mayo and relish was too good!

Really great pub, I’ve had the best nights in here and the staff are SO lovely. Especially this really fit 5’4 brunette who’s very loud… she’s a proper sort.

Best place for a night out in Brighton. The service here is unmatched and the vibes from the whole staff from doorman to manager was impeccable to say the least. I had the pleasure of dancing the night away along with the staff behind the bar and a bunch of other young people having a great time. Me and my friends greatly appreciate the warm smiles from the staff and the music from the dj as it set the tone for the night. Big shout out to Ama, Niamh, Aimee ,Hector and Bella. Hope to see you all soon ❤️

Nice variety of drinks available, friendly staff welcoming, nice small buzzy atmosphere however have to get there early in the night in order to get in without long queues. Bouncers are friendly and don’t have power issues which is a bonus for a big city.

Smashing little pub. Good selection of drinks, and reasonably priced for Brighton. Guinness was smooth, and the Red Stripe was refreshing. Brilliant outdoor seating area with a good atmosphere, ended up chatting to quite a few people sat out there. Staff were nice, my mate ended up with a free pint as they had to move a barrier and got in his way a bit, a really nice gesture. Urinals could do with some TLC, but aside from that no complaints, I'd highly recommend.

I bloody love the Mash Tun! Mainly for a night out because if I'm there I'm in it for the drinks and a fun time. The food cheap and unbelievably good for the price, but it is pretty standard pub food - definitely good to soak up alcohol if you need it.
Kayleigh George
Friendly staff and security who offered me pizza as it was my birthday! Barman notified us on the student deals which was nice. Good service, enjoyed the indie/pop music, good vibes. Would come back
Georgia Wilcox
one of my faaav places to drink and dance, the staff create the best vibe! especially love thursdays
tom sturgeon
Wow what an institution. Pub, bar, club it’s got it all. And some really good looking young men in there.
Rich Hines
Decent burgers today. Decent selection of ales. My only points would be, the blue cheese on the wife's burger wasn't noticeable and you really have to time it here to not be rammed. (But that just reflects on the place being popular!) Happily revisit and recommend.
Shakey
Great atmosphere and music. Had the porchetta sandwich which was insane! Lovely staff too
Hector Everard
Fantastic place to eat and grab a drink - even turns into a fun night out later in the evening.
Amy Sutcliffe
We always come here for a few drinks when we're in Brighton. It can get a bit 'student-y' late at night, but it's a good atmosphere and there's some great beers on tap. Such a shame they no longer do food, I loved the burgers!
Ken Kim
Great place to chill with good variety of beers. A little loud inside with music(used to love it though when I was in my 20s).. Outside was just perfect!!
declan
Excellent pub in Brighton great for students
Rose Westhorpe
I love this pub! Firstly the drinks are well priced and well made, secondly they always have an amazing DJ on ( I think his name is Howard?) and lastly the bar staff and management are so friendly and welcoming I wanted to go back straightaway! My favourite place to party in Brighton by far �
Louis Livesey-Clare
Brilliant pub, found the door staff very friendly and funny to, great outside area and the music is to every taste it’s very entertaining, due to all these great things I thought it was going to be very expensive for drinks and it was very cheap, on a sunny day no where better
Nadia Linden
Writing a positive review to counter the onslaught of 1* ones even tho I haven't been to the Mash Tun in years. While what has happened to Charlie is shocking, I feel like the reaction is massively out of proportion. How are 100+ negative reviews properly representative of ONE documented bad experience?
Charlie's treatment by the two bar staff was appalling (and downright stupid), but people working themselves into a froth on Facebook isn't helping anyone at this point. If you can clearly see the landlord has got the message, why pile on, if not for your own sense of righteous indignation?
*sigh* Kindness, people. Give it a try.
Luke Campbell
Easily my favourite pub in Brighton. Great staff, great DJ’s and a great vibe every time.
Philly Croucher
Great music, great atmosphere to dance and they let you dance on the tables which is always a winner! Sometimes a little crowded but it’s never been unbearable.
Alex Mcclane
Got served horrible food full of hipster hair and pubes, oh and before me and my wife were allowed to leave we had to sacrifice a disabled goat to the gods of the able bodied, probably won't go back
Charlie Brill
Incredible staff and food. I recommend table one...
James Vipan
Best pub in Brighton, Always buzzing with the nicest/coolest people in the city I love.
Len Caistor
Landlord’s got a massive nut but is a top bloke. Sensational pub, what’s better than dancing on tables and f1nger1ng birds.
Craig Beckham
Amazing pub with amazing atmosphere. What happened recently is unacceptable and the staff involved need to be dealt with, but this is no reflection on the pub, the other staff not involved, or the management. And anyone posting a 1* review when you've never been is clearly a keyboard warrior with nothing better to do. Get a life.
Julie Boyson
Fantastic atmosphere, Katie the DJ was outstanding !!!!! Played the best tunes and got everybody dancing 💃💃💃 superb x
Max Backshell
A great pub in the middle of town, always has a great vibe and great food too. The staff have always been more then accommodating to myself and my friends.
Ella Jenkins
The best place in Brighton, where else can you drunk dance on tables?!?
Esmerelda McLeod Waterson
Perfect in the day for delish food sitting in the sun having a few drinks and in the eve for throwing some shapes. My work went there for drinks in the eve and upstairs is great for something more chilled.
Corey Jackson
It's a good fun little pub, all the staff are great too, plus it's open later than quite a lot of pubs
Mara Moore
Bar staff are hot af especially the manager xx don't forget the doormen as well xx
Bub Rogers
Strewth m8. That's a burger.
Banging food and good people ��
Kerry Johnson
I have ocd and a neuro condition which is classed as a disability and never had a problem here, I love the mash tun! I'm sorry but if a girl who has conditions where with loud music etc it makes her react that way, why take her into a busy pub on the busiest weekend of the year?! Even I know it's too busy and loud everywhere. The staff were could have handled it better yes but I think there's more to this story. I will keep going here for years to come, always have a fun evening here!
Sinead Murdoch
Wish they would unlock the benches at night
Jess Duck
My home from home. Fabulous staff, security and banging tunes are the reason I can't stay away. #letsgogirls
Carl Jewitt
Great little place and location for getting too other pubs. Inside is basic - what you see is what you get. Loos are umm 'cosy'. The real pluses here are the Friendly staff and a good outside space too for when the sun comes out. Good ales too.
Mark Edwards
Great choice of real ale beer and friendly staff . Food looked good too
Benny Ellis
Best place to go for a "quiet" drink. Tasty staff and tasty food 😘
Niall 'Pudz' Jones
Hands down the best toilets in Brighton.
Mathew Renforth
The Friday DJ is very very handsome. Big Ron's Disco is a night to remember for all species.
Dave Stokes
Strange entrance policy now in place. Avoid it. Plenty of decent boozers in the area. Somehow the Mash Tun is too good for regular customers now. I feel it has got too big for its ....... time for a change of policy or management.
Shona Meaden
Favourite pub and the best staff too. Always have a great time x
John Purchese
Great Pub!
I stand by this lively little shit hole of wonderfulness
Jenny Kaye
I have had many wonderful nights at this pub, the staff are always amazing, they work really bloody hard. The pub gets incredibly busy and people adore this place. I have never seen anyone being treated unreasonably and i am certain that this was a mistake and that it will be rectified. It's just a real shame that people love to jump on the back of a social media hate storm without thinking of the consequences to a lot of other wonderful kind hearted people who work hard to make the Mash Tun a welcoming and friendly pub.
Marco Pinelo Anselmi
Super cool! Lot of nice Music & nice people, I suggest this place for drinking and dancing
Danny Harvey
Great pub and staff. Have been going for over 8 years now and it has always felt welcoming to me.
David Staffell
Great people, great food, reasonable prices and good vibes whatever the time of day.
Paddy Murphy
I think it is disgusting for members of staff to discriminate against a disabled girl on pride weekend. The situation was explained fully to staff and they still proceded to eject the disabled woman. This establishment needs proper training on how to deal with all customers. The member of staff who kicked her out of the pub should be fired. What a disgrace
Mike Medway
You should be totally ashamed of your staffs behaviour. Last time I ever enter the place. Next time you go to have your licence renewed I for one will be objecting.
