Hi Lilly,
We're saddened to hear you felt discriminated against. That is not how we run our pub as we always aim to be inclusive and respectful of everybody.
Unfortunately, we do have CCTV footage of your group bringing outside drinks into the establishment, which we asked you not to drink on-site (only to be ignored).
If that was the only issue, however, we would not have asked you to leave.
Our alcohol-free options are extensive and not limited to only orange or tomato juice.
One of your party did throw up on the table, which was a shame, but it wouldn't have been a reason to kick you out if they weren't laying face first on it.
We asked you to leave for the two reasons stated above, as they're breaches of both our licensing objectives and our duty of care as an establishment.
We'd hoped this would be it. Not more than 5 minutes later we then see one of you, once again on CCTV, sticking what we later identified as a soiled sanitary pad on one of our windows.
We do believe the costumers is always right, but sadly, that's not the case this time.
You're welcome to come in and discuss this with us further, if you wish to do so.
Kind Regards,
Sarah Nixon
Licensee and Assistant Manager

The most welcoming little bar in all of Brighton, with a local clientele and terrific friendly fun service. Indoor and outdoor seating with everything you could need to spend hours in the sun tanning it right up or chilling inside or out the back in the garden... And how good is the music!!!Thanks for a wonderful time guys, see you soon!

I arrived in a bit of a panic trying to find a place that had wifi where I could work for a few hours (and do an interview) and Sarah-Jane (I think the manager) was super helpful. I ended up staying all afternoon and had a couple of drinks after.
It's a lovely, cosy, local feeling pub and the prices are really reasonable for Brighton.
Thank you for all the local recommendations and fantastic service. I will absolutely be coming back!

In Brighton for one night only and happened upon this great little pub. Enjoyed a pint of Harveys Pale Ale. Very friendly atmosphere, they dimmed the lights and lit candles. There was a charity curry evening and the smell was wonderful. Sadly, we had already booked a table elsewhere - otherwise would have likely stayed for another pint and maybe a curry!!

We dropped in for a quick drink and were pleasantly surprised. It doesn't look much from the outside, but the interior is warm and welcoming and the barman was very funny and friendly. We found the tiny but cool garden and enjoyed the warm summer air with our drinks

Lovely little pub on the main road into the North Lanes. Easily overlooked but definitely worth making the effort to find it. There are enough regulars to make a cosy and friendly atmosphere. A few friendly dogs helped as well!
Bar service was warm but efficient. Apparently May used to work in the wine business which became obvious when she discovered that the wine had been open too long, and opened another bottle. Highly recommended!

A cosy old pub. We dropped in to get out of the rain and a few more times after while on holiday. A very freindly bar, people went out of their way to chat and make us feel welcome. A lovely inviting place to enjoy a drink with good people.

Good beer, warm atmosphere in a cozy old building house. Friendly staff and a good assortment of beers, even if I did not find my favourite one (13 guns)

Very friendly service and tasty beer. Plenty of hustle and bustle within but a tolerant attitude offered to all. A nice place to stop and relax for awhile.

Visit was pre-COVID. Nice, friendly pub. Had a half pint of Sussex Best Bitter. They had the front doors open and the weather was not very pleasant so jackets never came off.
Stuart Wallace
Didn't get to sample the food on this occassion bit found the atmosphere and service to be top notch. Most enjoyable especially if you have a kiwi back ground.

I had one of the best experiences in Brighton by walking into this place. Yes, the beer was good, and not outrageously priced, so that was nice, but it was the people I met! They welcomed me in and I felt like family. The Scottish man and the friendly bartender who’s been working there for 7 years, the old man with the epic hat he bought for £30, all made my stay wonderful. If you have the chance, check out this cute little pub ❤️

Nice friendly pub, which we like to stop off at on our way to Brighton Station to catch the train.

Just returned from a lovely family dinner here. Food was really good and service was great. Special mention to our waitress Serena who was amazing and looked after us all night. Nothing too much trouble. Would recommend.
Stéphanie Thunissen

Chrissie Vowles

Dave Relf

Alex Wyatt
One of the best places to stop for a drink on Brighton!
(Oh and ask about the home made chocolate vodka for a little hidden treat!!)
David Cookson
Really enjoyed the atmosphere and the friendly service. Had the feel of a local pub and really enjoyed it. What would improve it for me would be to have some keg draught craft ales on offer. They had cask, which is not for me and had Hop House, which I like. But keg craft ales would be much more for my palate. Loved the music they were playing on the Sunday afternoon.
Kristyan Osborne
One of the best pubs in Brighton. Always a great atmosphere and crowd in there.
Sigrid Körling
The people, the drinks and the staff makes this gem a must �
Martin Brown
Top pub, Top live music, Top staff ... Pretty 'top' to be fair!!!
Andrew Goodall
This is a friendly, traditional pub. The clientel are very mixed, gay, straight, indeterminate etc. (typical Brighton) and all find a warm welcome. There is a selection of real ales but pub food is not on offer.
Brendan Hargie
The nicest people you could meet. If your after a cheeky beer or a place to sit and reflect on your day come here!
Andy Long

Was there yesterday and has a nice vibe. Having said that the staff were a bit over familiar considering I’ve never met them before
Chris Connell
Really friendly staff - seems like a local pub with many regulars. Cosy interior too.
Andrew Robb
