Best pub in Brighton to watch an away game

Used to like the K&Q but the last game they gave us the smallest part of the pub, which was packed, leaving the empty part for Arsenal v Hull. At last moment they put ours on both screens but poor attitude.

The Montpelier is a worth a look. I don't know if they still show games as I haven't been in a while. The Cobden Arms SHOULD be a good pub as it's got loads of Albion memorabilia and it shows all the games but when I went in there for the Derby play-off game with a couple of mates there was a Premier League match on just before and as soon as it finished, the pub more or less emptied and only a handful of Albion fans were left.

The Franklin never used to be much of an Albion pub but I see a fair few shirts in there nowadays on matchdays and you'll get a decent atmosphere.

Hove (actually)
Went to the Palmeira once (red scouse in the cup, a Sunday?). That was quite lively

If you want the big crowd go to the King and Queen, but get there early or face a queue to get in.

Personally however I prefer a more intimate atmosphere and enjoy the Constant Service in Hanover, the Lion & Lobster on Sillwood Street and the good old Welly on Upper Gloucester Road near the station

I was in there for the Cardiff game and it was only on half of the screens. Most people were watching The Arse and they had the better end of the pub.

I was in there for that game, thought it was very odd that they were so reluctant until the last minute to put our game on both screens.

King & Queens is usually full of plastics. Since the Hove Lagoon shut/under new management, is there an Albion bar left?

This will become a fairly big issue come the Boro game I reckon.

Brighton does lack a decent sports bar / pub.

Shame they closed the Smugglers, that was the best. King & Queen is okay, plenty of screens but as the advice says, head there early. The Walkabout will probably have it on too, it's much better since the refurb.

I prefer one of the smaller pubs. Clearly it would be insane to name it on NSC as it would get too packed out and the experience ruined :nono:

I go the Hiker's Rest for Albion games. There's always a lively atmosphere in there, full of genuine fans

Had to let the PL plastics in the K&Q have it on the day of the Forest game when Leo won it

Duke of Wellington. Always packed pre-game and guaranteed to show the away games too. And the landlord is a bloody nice bloke too. Top pub.
