Pub in Brighton

“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!”

“One of the better Brighton bars. Friendly and intimate with tons of cabaret”

“Went to Popworld with my girlfriend and a few of her mates last weekend. Good atmosphere, happy hour was good value. Door team were very through and head doorman was quick to help when a couple of lads wouldn't take no for an answer talking to my on my girlfriends mates. The door team seemed very used to taking the heat out of situations especially when people have had a few and things can get out of hand when not handled well. Will definelty go back there next time we are in Brighton”

“Myself and a big group of 19 of us did a bottomless brunch at Walkabout yesterday, and we had a great time! Things started off a bit slow at first but Alyssa really stepped up and took care of us, all on her own as well! Thanks for being so accommodating :)”

“Epic! Went here for a day rave. The upstairs is large, consisting of a bar, small dance floor alot of tables and chairs. Downstairs leads to a club. It feels like you're absolutely away from reality and even though it was during the day it was pitched black in the basement. A great experience and I'd love to go back”

“Open house has a decent beer garden and food. Interior has nice high ceilings”

“Tried one of the beers they make and it was really good . I can definitely recommend this place for people who enjoy craft beers”

“It was an absolute pleasure staying at the Amsterdam hotel. The room was extremely tidy & the staff was very welcoming, friendly & helpful! I would definitely stay at the Amsterdam again when I visit Brighton.”

“Wonderful evening with my friend here. Amazing live bands and brilliant vibe and lots of friendly people in the pub. We danced all night long. Looking forward to returning soon.”

“We came in for a roast on Sunday (didn't use the rooms). Even though we were a little late for our booking the staff were friendly and accommodating. Food was lovely. They even brought some beef out for our chihuahua. We'll be back!”

“A warm and friendly welcome from three different receptionists really made our short stays at the beginning of December and on Christmas Eve 2025. Mary, Vicky and Mihaela( hope I have the spelling correctly) were amazing. We had a lovely room with a balcony, overlooking Brighton seafront, Brighton i360 and the West Pier(remains of). Our room was very large with a lovely en suite, a coffee machine, kettle and fridge with complimentary snacks and drinks. Sitting on the balcony with a cup of coffee looking at the seaside was such a treat. The breakfast room is in the style of an American diner, overlooking the seafront and serving a great range of breakfast with premium jams and spreads. Our evening meal was of a good quality, especially the pizza and haddock and chips. Bar staff were always incredibly friendly. Location is great, a very short distance to Preston Street with it's huge variety of restaurants and close to Western Road with it's amazing range of shops. I agree with Hannah about slight wear and tear, but like her, I prefer to look at the positives and there were plenty.”

“Had a brilliant meal, and the staff made my day and my birthday. We went late afternoon and they had just cleared the room after a big party. I really wanted to sit by the window and watch the sea, as living in Milton Keynes, we are completely land locked. They cleared a table so I could look out having my dinner. The staff (waiter and barman) went above and beyond, and the drinks and meals were fantastic. A faultless experience, and I would not hesitate to go back or recommend them”

“Fantastic for the price. Ok its a budget hotel or top of the line hostel. Comfortable beds. I was in a 6 bed dorm. Large toilet/shower room in the dorm not down the corridor. A big +. Shower was good, reasonably powerful and good temperature control. Extremely clean. The staff noticed my disability and moved me to a bottom bunk without me asking. There was a lift which was working well. I didn't have the breakfast. So can't comment. Location was 50 meters from both the old burnt out pier and the 360 "ride. Maybe 120m from the GRAND HOTEL”

“The food was freshly cooked and served fast. We really enjoyed our glazed burgers and Michael gave us a really good service. I definitely will go back some time.”

“Had such an amazing time at shoosh beach club. The staff were all very friendly and took really good care of me and my friends. Definitely will be coming back!!”

“We had a one night stay in the Owl’s Nest on our hike along the South Downs Way. A truly lovely spot to rest after a long day hiking, beautiful location, peaceful, well thought out cabin with everything we needed. Mandy and Darran were wonderful hosts and provided us with the most delicious sausages and fresh eggs for our breakfast, setting us up for our next day walking. Will definitely be back!!”

“I dont often write reviews but doing this for the benefit of anyone who may be in my position and trying to find something suitable and a laugh for a hen do, as that was me a few months ago when I booked Showlesque! I know there are some mixed reviews on Google and Trip advisor, but I hope this may help sway someone's decision in deciding whether or not to go...we went as a hen do on 30th August, and I was worried about what to expect because of a recent review only giving 3 stars. The food came quickly and was actually very tasty...chips were great. The staff were friendly, particularly the young lady with bobbed wavy blonde hair (sorry I've forgotten your name!). Service was good. Veronica Blacklace absolutely made the night as the MC and singer, she had a fab voice, very funny and knew how to read a room perfectly. Big Hairy Growler...so funny, and his strip tease was so bad it was good lol. We had such a laugh, the energy was great. The venue is small and intimate, but this didnt mean the atmosphere was any less. When the show finished, there was a DJ playing classic tunes, the place wasn't busy but to be honest we just enjoyed having the dance floor to ourselves. My one criticism would be that maybe there could have been a couple more alternative acts within the show, as each person came on twice (there were three performers in total, plus the MC). Very entertaining, we laughed all night and the hen had the best time. Would definitely recommend! One thing to note, if you are a large group make sure to ask to be seated on one table...we were a group of 9 but split into two booths, we could still see and talk to each other but we would have preferred to have been sat together.”

“My friends and I booked through First Table, and it was an absolutely delightful experience. The restaurant is on Boundary Road, quite a way from central Brighton, but the interior is worth the trip — beautifully decorated and full of character. We were warmly greeted by the friendly staff, who offered some great suggestions. We tried their Turkish white wine, which was spot on, then moved on to starters and mains. The highlight for me was the lamb casserole — absolutely heavenly! What really sets this place apart from other Turkish restaurants I’ve been to is the pricing. Even without the 50% First Table discount, the menu is very reasonably priced. The only downside for me is the location, as it’s quite far from where I live (Preston Park). Still, I’d happily make the journey again for their food. Dined for: 3 Meal: Starter + mains + drinks Total bill: £109”

“What an incredible experience! David, Izzy and Quinn were outstanding and ran the Acid Bath Experience for us, the immersive nature combined with the challenging puzzles made it such a memorable and unique level of entertainment. We will be recommending this to everyone we know! Thank you team”

“Best Pasta in Brighton hands down!! Mama mi truly is one of Brightons best hidden gems. Giuseppe (the main man) is incredibly kind and charismatic and clearly loves what he does! The whole vibe of the restaurant is great too, really feels like you're back in Italy. The bruschetta was the tastiest I ever had in my life (I've had a lot) and the food overall was incredible! Shame about the opening hours but I heard they will do evening service once a week in winter.”

“I have visited Arcobaleno on many occasions and always a fabulous time. Lovely friendly atmosphere and LGBTQ+ friendly based on Wizard of Oz theme. Cocktails are fun and the Maltase menus is fabulous and great if a cabaret show is on. Had Sunday roast yesterday with a group of friends and all arrived at the same time and it really is the best roast I have tasted in Brighton. Vegans and vegetarians also catered well for. The staff are great and welcoming. This is a unique place in Brighton, very chilled away from the louder places in town, which I would highly recommend. Don't miss out and tell your friends.”

“We had a brilliant evening here. A delicious curry, followed by waffles and icecream (be sure to let Jane know your dietary needs ahead of time). And then a wonderful performance by the incredibly talented Nick Pynn. It’s a special place, and we felt very lucky to receive Jane’s warm hospitality. Dinner, entertainment, a round of drinks and a bottle of wine came to £45 per person.”

“You wonder if its going to be as good as you expect. The experience was a birthday gift from my niece . My wife and I went with moderate expectations but we were really happy with the whole thing. I loved the range of food and the care the staff took to make sure everything was perfect. The multiple dishes provided, solved my normal problem of what to choose on the menu and wanting to try a bit of everything. Just go with a few friends and have a great time”

“Best pub We've been to! The Watchmakers arms is our local and has been for the last few years. Whilst we aren't the most regular drinkers, whenever we do fancy one, this is the spot we always go to. We recently had a fantastic booking here with some friends, and T.W.A was exceptional and highly accommodating (As always). The staff / owners are simply a joy, always have a smile on and happy to help! The beers are always so incredible, and for being in the center of Hove, they are unbelievably competitive. There are many, many Green King / other chains close by where the price is significantly higher, I can't believe how cheap the beer is for the quality you get here. The atmosphere of the pub is always perfect, overall we can't recommend this pub highly enough!! A huge thanks to Ruth, Rick, Luciano - the whole team!”

“We were lost in Brighton and needed to use facilities, the lady behind the bar was welcoming, friendly and super helpful. I felt safe leaving my Mum there to get my car. Lovely place. Thank you.”

“Absolutely loved this place. It's very unique, niche, quirky, punky and fun. So much detail in the room. Bar was fun, breakfast was good. Wish I could have stayed longer.”

“Excellent traditional pub tucked away in quiet corner of town. Ideal for quick rendezvous, a Sunday Roast, game of Bingo, sing Karaoke yadda yadda. Top venue. Great Landlord knows how to get the vibe right.”
