Great little legend. I don't live in Brighton but have been an occasional drinker here for many years. Since my last visit, it's had a really good clean with refurbished bar and tables and new taps by the looks of things. The main draw is of course an excellent selection of some really special beers. Well worth seeking out as if you're a hop head, and that's appropriate as it was apparently the birthplace of Dark Star Hophead.

Good selection of cask, craft keg and even a delicious real cider I’d not tried before. We enjoyed the buzz and nice chilled and friend vibe early week. The food was excellent; spicy and very tasty. The lentil fritters were a highlight.

A magnificent pub, with a lovely relaxing atmosphere. I always pop in when in Brighton. The selection of beer is second to none and at great prices. Staff peeps are always extremely helpful, too. Highly recommended.

Great local pub only a stones throw from Brighton train station. Always a good stop with lots of real ale to choose from. Didn't have any food so no rating on that.

Great pub with many craft and session beers and ales available and some at under £5!I really like that the chalkboards show the prices and strengths of the beer so you know what you're buying and not stung with any ridiculous priced craft beers like in other pubs.I always enjoy popping in here after getting a train while waiting for my bus. It is a popular meeting point for Brighton football fans on match days due to it's close proximity to the train station. On match days it's standing room only and can take a while to get served sometimes. Staff usually seem a bit glum and rarely smile but they're not rude. Seating can be a bit limited and you might have to share a table but that's all part of the experience!

Brilliant, characterful old pub tucked away near Brighton Station. Card only payment. This pub offers a vast array of unique cask and keg ales. Very knowledgeable staff correctly identified an absolutely delicious IPA for me of the right ABV and taste. Go here if you likes your ales.

What an awesome pub, with just the most amazing rotating beer selection. Loads of well kept cask beer, lots of stunning keg options and a well stocked fridge of special beers for sharing.Will most definitely be heading back here again, in fact its given me a reason to want to go to Brighton more often to have the chance to drink here again.

Impeccable. Incredible beer selection. Fair prices and you can adjust beer to glass size based on strength. I was on the fence about food but it comes in from neighbouring Sri Lankan restaurant. Best calamari I’ve ever had! If I had to find a problem. My first pint of cask was under carbed. But a everything off keg was incredible. Staff recommended some other bars to visit too. Dog friendly by the way.

By far the best pub near Brighton station with a great selection of keg, cask and ciders at very reasonable prices.It’s fairly small so can get crowded at times, but that’s testament to this pub’s popularity.I tried a Schneider Weisse beer which was great. It’s always worth popping in here if you’re near the station.
