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.
If you like real beer this is the place for you. If you like a no frills, traditional pub feel, this is the place for you. It's my favourite. The bar snacks are great too. It would be fab if scotch eggs, sausage rolls and the like were also available but at least the lack of these at the moment gives me an excuse to leave and go home when I'm hungry!

Stopped in for a couple of beers on a rainy day. The barman was warm and welcoming, broad selection of good beer, well kept and served. Very impressed, will return here if I'm ever back in town.
Learned about Toad in the Hole too, looks like fun!
Lovely place where you least expect it!
A good mix of beers on tap, and good people. Service was good!
Small pub with an excellent beer selection. Delicious set of beers as well as other drinks available. Was a very pleasant surprise to find next to my hotel.
Proper pub with a great selection of kegs, casks ale, cider, soft drinks and cocktails. Great friendly atmosphere and lovely pint of London black
A must visit pub for any craft beer lover whilst in Brighton. A small space with a large lineup of tasty brew. Friendly staff. If looking for good beer, make sure you stop here.
A hidden gem just off the seafront. Good selection of cask ales, even wider selection of keg ales. Cosy feel inside and nice a clean. Definitely a pub I shall visit next time I take a trip to Brighton.
