The 30 Best Pub in Brighton

“Lovely chilled pub. Plenty of seating, friendly staff and great for chatting- you can hear each other! Also had possibly the best mince pie of my life here..”

“Had a carvery today and it was excellent. Piping hot food, delicious and the service was great. All the staff are lovely and parking was super easy. Will definitely be back!”

“Great carols night at the Joker. Food was excellent as always and it was massively Christmassy. Excellent job choir and Joker crew.”

“My girlfriend and I came here a few weeks ago for a Sunday Roast. Excellent service despite being a member of staff short due to a broken glasswasher. Food was even better”

“Very cosy pub! The chefs make the best, crispiest chicken wings, the drink selection is amazing, the barrista makes the fanciest cup of coffee, and the atmosphere is great. Lots of seats. Smoking spots out front and in the back.”

“We decided to enjoy a roast at The Egremont and were lucky to arrive early enough to get the last table before they filled up with 100 pre booked roast dinners I ordered the lamb shank, while my friend chose beef, both served with crispy roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, red cabbage, mashed swede, broccoli, carrots, and parsnips—much more than we expected! We also shared a giant portion of cauliflower cheese and some massive pigs in blankets, which we affectionately dubbed The Egremont sausage surprise. The food was delicious and plentiful, and I even shared some of the pigs in blankets with the neighboring table, & bought some food home - If you plan to go, I recommend making a reservation! The Egremont”

“A massive thank you for making my 60th last night so special (Nov 2nd, 2024). I've been going to this amazing pub since my 20's and more often in my mid 40's with my daughter and her crew. Good times were had & great memories were made. When asked what I wanted to do for my 60th, JB's was the obvious choice. I wasn't disappointed! This little pub hasn't changed in 40 years! Proper traditional pub. The staff are awesome! The barman even remembered me from 16/17 years ago! It was like 'going home'. Thank you to the staff and everyone, especially the new friends we made, for making my birthday so special! ❤️”

“Antonia was super attentive and amiable. The ambiance at “Browns” was so calming and welcoming; so much so that dining alone didn’t feel awkward. Great breakfast…I highly recommend the steak and eggs!…YUMMY! I will make sure to dine here every time I visit Brighton A++++”

“Brighton Beach is a lively seaside spot full of energy and charm. The pebble shore, colorful promenade, and iconic pier make it a fun place to relax, eat, and explore. It can get crowded in summer, but the atmosphere is always vibrant.”

“Atmosphere is amazing, feels like France. Service and servant is top class. Enjoy every bite of the dish. Love it.”

“Lovely Clean pub, pet friendly. Great variety of food on the menu to suit everyone & good weekday deals on food. Pub quiz available available every Thursday. Lovely staff & great atmosphere, would definitely recommend a visit.”

“Such friendly staff. Made us so welcome. Will definitely return.”

“Really lovely meal - special celebration for us so we had the works. The food is fabulous quality, the service is exceptional, the drinks menu choices are vast and brilliant; including huge gin selection, wine selection and cocktails, also alcohol free choices of mocktails and more. You can taste the freshness of all the food, it really makes a difference. Our server Freddie was the perfect balance of attentive. When they heard we were celebrating our silver wedding anniversary they made a little fuss (see photo) which was so lovely and welcome. We were treated so well, literally faultless ❤️”

“Nearly always go in here for food when I visit my mother in Seaford. Simon and crew are extremely courteous and friendly and the food exceptional. All freshly made in house. They ran out of beef wellington yesterday and he quickly whipped one up for me. Doesn't come much fresher than that. Can't praise the quality or service enough. Thoroughly recommended.”

“A classic British pub in a beautiful old building – exactly what you’d expect from a proper British pub. It has a lively sports bar vibe with plenty of screens to catch a game, and the staff are super friendly. The outdoor seating is great for relaxing with a pint. Food is solid pub fare – simple, tasty, and just right. A great spot for drinks, food, and football in Brighton!”

“A great atmosphere at weekends or when there is music. Monday afternoon is a good one.”

“Fab friendly place with fun atmosphere, brilliant music, great beers and delicious food! We had a selection of Spanish tapas all home cooked by the Spanish chef, yummy! Pop into this pub you won't be disappointed!”

“The Perch has views overlooking Lancing Beach. Theirs meals are varied and delicious. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. You can eat in but probably need to book as it's very popular. They have a takeaway service which is very good. You can eat it outside on benches or sit on the beach. We'll worth a visit!”

“Great bar with great views, not too expensive either. Great drag show there, Mrs Moore was superb! And George at the bar was friendly”

“Lucy and Sienna are the best girls!! Made me feel welcome as it was my first time.”

“Amazing food - pie was incredible. Gorgeous log fire, beams, character, comfy seats, great playground and big car park”

“Libby is the most fantastic bartender ever!! Always has a smile on her face and is great to all the regulars. If shes working you’re guaranteed a beer in your hand pronto!!”

“Very impressed with this hotel. I had read some reviews and was sceptical, but was pleasantly surprised. Room was large, spotlessly clean, comfy bed and great shower. Nothing to not like.”

“Went to the bar for a drink and Eddie was just incredible - such attentive service. My friend wanted mulled cider and he went and made it for her anyway! We ordered the boozy hot chocolate, and gave her the rest. He was so kind and made some great adaptations to make our night special. Thank you, Eddie.”

“First time in this branch of Revs and couldn't have had a better experience! The cocktails were amazing, the food was tasty and the service was 10/10 from Holly, who was so attentive and never let out glasses empty (despite being the only one on the floor/bar). Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!! 100% recommended and most certainly will be revisiting!”

“We had the rib eye and it rates in my top 10 for flavour and texture, amazing! £70 for two beautiful steaks and a bottle of wine, totally worth it. I asked if the candle on my table could be lit as we were celebrating and every candle in view was lit, super service :)”

“Nice cocktail bar with unisex toilets. Because it is so popular the waiting time can be quite slow. Nice decor and very stylish and the staff were nice. Also toilets nice and clean. All in all top marks. Wouldn't stay there all night due to prices though.”

“Lovely pub, must admit that I wasn't blown away by the roast I had but the service and atmosphere was excellent. They also have a huge back garden which was brilliant for letting the kids blow off steam. Would likely return but to try something else on the menu ☺️”

“Brunch was fantastic here. Food was great as well as drinks. We opted for the bottomless drinks, but as the restaurant was extremely busy was a little slow with topping us up but understandable. Friend’s steak wasn’t great but was replaced immediately. Other than that, food was so good we returned the next day before heading back home.”

“Fantastic food, super tasty and all very reasonably priced. Our waiter Mo was very friendly and incredibly attentive. The quiet atmosphere is great for a nice chat however the place could be a bit more lively. Would recommend!”
