Favourite Pub in Brighton & Hove?

[Buzzer]

What about the Prince of Wales or the Queensbury arms?

Yep. Those 2 are pretty unreconstructed although the Queensbury is a little 'specialist' rather than old man pubs, n'est pas?

Ah but the Jolly Brewer is miles from town. Are there any other old bloke pubs left in Brighton town centre that haven't been gentrified in the last 15 years?

Rose Hill
Sussex
Prince of Wales
Shakespears Head
Pond
Pull And Pump

Royal Sovereign
Prine Authur

Sadly, that has been what it has been like the last few times I have been in there. It also seems to be attracting a slightly more chavvy crowd IMHO than 2 years ago.

I'm very much with you on this. TMLS only likes it because of his fantastic pulling record in the pub. We could give the Hop-Poles or whatever it is a blast if you like.

Hope Poles isnt as good now its the Spotted Dog or something stupidly named.

But you havent been in there as often as meself and mendonca have recently as you have been a BENNY doing SENSIBLE things like SAVING money

Also Fridays seem to be better than Sats in there.

And VASTLY overpriced.

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

Hove is good, not full of teenagers. Still loving the Black Lion, best pub tunage going, although Cricketers was impressive the last two times I've been

This. Cricketers was well good and the bar staff

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

Brighton Tavern in Gloucester Road. How could I forget that place...?

That's a pretty damn good list although the Tavern is also a bit 'specialist'. The Market Tavern seems not to have changed much. I'd add that.

Whereas I've had my arse pinched by a gayer, pulled a big fat pig when I was off my face and .... that's about it.

She was "gorgeous" in your eyes as well at the time.

The William IV is in the best location in the whole of Brighton and it still refuses to become a trendy pub and fair play to them for that. On the rare occasions I go in they inevitably have Chris Rea or Reo Speedwagon playing, they don't ponce about with rare Albanian stouts and they don't offer Vietnamese street food on the pub menu.

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.

Was in there on Friday, you've got to love just how 'merry' everyone is. We were offered cake in there within 2 minutes...

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

I had my arse pinched, and was told rather camply 'You are a long way from home' in the Green Door Store last Saturday. Mind you, I was dressed as a CHiP (American motorcylce cop if you're too young) at the time.

I think his username gives it away.

Besides what PMB means is pretentious for pretentious sake.
