Favourite Pub in Brighton & Hove?

[Herr Tubthumper]

The Open House

Their post-Pride parties are good

 

[BensGrandad]

The good companions in being run by the same guy who runs the Hobgoblin on London rd.

They were both owned by the same company until the company Pubs N Bars went into administration probably now re-opened by an individual.

While agreeing with you about the William IV, I note that the person complaining about poncey rarities is the same person who delights in making posts about Scandinavian musicians so obscure that they're scarcely known outside their own families.

Hang on a cotton-picking minute. Several things here. The William IV isn't for me at all. I'm not a big fan of old man pubs per se, I am just applauding the owners for not succumbing to the pressure of turning it into a trendy pub considering the location. I'm all for variety. And as for having a go at my music tastes, I'd like to think that they are a bit more eclectic than just obscure Scandinavian musicians.

Anyway, I don't understand your comment. Are you saying that because I have esoteric musical tastes that I should embrace all that is hipster and reject the mainstream, you mischievous little tinker.

Bet she's a sort ??

And probably very slim and has small boobs.

Just a guess.

Yes...in a quirky way rather than a Konni Huq kind of beauty. Might nor be your type, matey.

I really should have finished my pub challenge from 3 years back. All 306 in Brighton & Hove. Still got 23 to do...

Out of interest what ones have you got left to do?

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

I was right about the boobs.

Now both owned by Indigo who have a fair few pubs in Brighton and Hove.

 

[Munkfish]

Whats the matter with girls and small tits, I just dont see the point.

wheres the best pub to go and see a good rack these days?

Quirky as in looks like a pre-pubescent boy!

Seemingly the Cricketers or the Worlds end?!

Not really my cup of tea, I go for the more obvious konnie huq/indira varma type.

I think it was called the Spotted Dog before the Hop Poles? (I may well be completely wrong, here)

It was indeed.

Good range of ales in there.

What about Sonya Madan? In the mid-90s It was between her, Louise Wener and Jo Guest. No-one else came close.

There is a bar maid, petite, slim, blonde sort of indie looking with MASSIVE and I MEAN MASSIVE boobs in the Cricketers.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Selection of sawts behind the bar in The Hikers often on matchdays.

This changes for me pretty frequently, but right now I'm very much enjoying:

• The Shakepeare's Head for their bangers & mash menu
• The Robin Hood for their pub quiz (which I've been lucky enough to win a couple of times recently)
• The Evening Star for the amazing ale they have both on tap and on the shelves
• The Earth & Stars for just being a pretty good chilled out place to enjoy a few beers in

There definitely are a few places that have really raised their game in the past year or so - my nominations for "Most Improved Pub" would include Good Companions, The Signalman and The Florist, but on the flipside, The Eddy, The Mash Tun, Open House and The Lion & Lobster are all not patches on the places they used to be.

Four no five one nite stands and two long term G/F from that place. Not bad at all.
