2 more that have gone:
The Galleon,which was next to the Regent cinema in Queens Rd.(Where Boots stands now)
The Clarence Hotel ,which was in North St. opposite entrance to Bond St.-This was a lovely old-fashioned inn which had a huge log fire in Winter.

 

[Safeway]

Font and Firkin.

 

[Theatre of Trees]

The Old Vic was great, spent many a happy evening there.

Anyone remember the Coach and Horses in Trafalgar Street?

 

[West Hoathly Seagull]

Is the Lamb and Flag still there, by Churchill Square? I think it used to be in the Good Beer Guide. And going back to the Historic Brighton thing, there was a sign on a wall quite close to the L and F saying North Street. Did North Street continue on beyond the Clock Tower before Churchill Square was built or did it always end up at the Clock Tower?

 

[Zeitgeist]

The Green Dragon in Sydney street. Now a poncy wine bar.

I remember the name but where exactly was The Ship?

in what <was/is still?> the polytechnic car park opposite halfords/currys/some bed linen store.

ok how about another one...RAINS which was along the seafront circa...1986/7 between middle and ship streets.

Could always buy 1 portion of chips and unlimited beer till 2 am between the whole group.. believe me..that was a winner back then..!

 

[Rowdey]

not strictly pubs but, What about:


the bar opposite bartholemew sq, where Andy crock used to play..

The zap with one arch...(come on show your age...!)

oriana's with Big black Cox playing full on tech house..

monty's on montpelier st/rd

the restoration, on east st (one of the first bars to play early house music)

Of course. I thought that was the Cock and Bottle. Sam's Dad is quite right: C&B and the Hussar are one and the same.

I've thought of another one. Anyone remember the late night bar under the Heart and Hand on East Street. It stayed open until 1.00 and got round the licensing laws by serving sandwiches (free of charge).

What bliss it was to drink Harvey's after midnight; we went for simple pleasures then.

 

[Parson Henry]

The volunteer. The first pub in Brighton to be 'Zel'ed

Turned from a decent boozer into a shithole staffed by wankers who act as if they're doing you a favour by selling you a pint of piss poor lager for £3-odd.

Always used to meet there for our Friday nights out on the town. The landlord Dave Goodchild?

Aaah halycon days.

 

[Parson Henry]

The Old Vic on Ship Street. Used to be a great live music pub and now it's O'Neill's

Loads of punch ups there!

 

[aftershavedave]

Loads of punch ups there!

a great early adverisement for liberal drinking laws! cos it opened til 12 attracted every hoolie and his brother for late drinks and punch ups!

 

[GUNTER]

The Lamb & Flag was a great old boozer, now sadly gone.
The Full Moon has recently been tuned into a wine bar type thing.
The Elephant & castle London Road.

Still, at least the Park Crescent Inn is still there, a good example of survival of a 'proper' local.
