What's not to adore about this little Brighton pub. Knowledgeable staff (on the 20 odd available drinks on tap). Great range of crisps and packet snacks. No other intrusive frills.... Just like a pub should be!

Superb. This is an atmospheric little place in the back streets off from the main seafront, very close to several hotels, with an incredible selection of beers on draught and cask.
A photo of Des O’Connor adorns the Gents loo door. I have never been close enough to discern who is on the Ladies door (UPDATE: I think it’s Victoria Wood).
Toad in the Hole - a pub game involving throwing coins at a chair, supposedly played only in Sussex - is a popular game here. The bar is Dog friendly too. Staff are friendly and knowledgable. The atmosphere is relaxed.
It’s also very inclusive. There were lots of groups when I was there on a summer Thursday night, including several all female groups enjoying the beer - it’s clearly a place where people typically feel comfortable to come and enjoy drinking what they want on their own terms.
Which brings me back to the quality of the selection - there are occasional tap takeovers, but the variety (usually 3 or 4 cask supplemented by an array of keg styles) from some of the country’s top breweries is what brings people here. Servings are in typically half, 2/3rds and pint depending on strength.
Definitely a must visit if you are a beer lover and ever you are in Brighton.
Brighton's Best Pub! I absolutely love this pub; super friendly staff and a wicked selection of beers and ales.
However, I dream about the nitro porter! You can't beat it with a game of toads and a few bar snacks.
