Amsterdam Bar
Bulldog tavern
Dr Brightons
Brighton Rocks
The Regency

Second the Regency. Play-off with the Colonnade for fanciest interior decor, maybe?

None of the others though. Dr B's is passable on a good night but too much of a stag/hen magnet. The rest are shit on a biscuit. The Amsterdam is Yates's for people barred from West Sreet. Brighton Rocks is a scout hut full of people who think they're at the Ritz. The Bulldog is where gay people go to die.

 

[The Truth]

The Bulldog is where gay people go to die.

Is it a Catholic pub?

 

[The Truth]

The Hikers rest. Lovely pub, lovely people.

 

[jmsc]

It's the chap that used to run the evening Star, I think. Is it Garf?

Yup, Garf runs the Farm but he used to manage the Battle of Trafalgar in Guildford Rd. before, not the Evening Star.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I predict this gong very badly! It's just going to end in an argument between "lager drinkers with no tastebuds" and "real ale beer nazis" with the occasional "cider drinking freak" chirping in.

What about the Craft Beer Militia?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Craft Beer Co is the best pub in Brighton. Simples.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

The Craft and the Evening Star, my little Friday pub crawl.

We have probably bumped into each other at some point then. I tended to have a cheeky drink in the Star before heading to Craft.

Nominations will be counted at midday so if you've not got yours in yet, get on it

 

[Screaming J]

Nobody's mentioned the Lord Nelson yet (sorry if I missed it!). However I know its changed Landlord recently and I've not been to Brighton since.

Always was my favourite pub in Brighton. Any seconders?

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

The Spanish. although its technically about 5 metres out of Brighton and Hove boundary.

You have to have your minnows up against the Brazils and Spains of the Basketmakers and the Geese.

I second the Spanish. Saltdean needs to be represented.

 

[Dick Head]

Horse and Groom
The Gladstone

 

[spring hall convert]

Pull & Pump
St. James
The George (Trafalgar Street)
The Hobgoblin (in it's current guise, I'm fully aware it used to be a hole)

I'll also second Brighton Rocks (though I think its original nomination may have been tounge in cheek!!)

Which Wetherspoons? As far as I'm aware, there are 3 in Brighton & Hove!

Actually I had ASSUMED it was the one on West Street which I thought was called Wetherspoons, but it turns out that's called The Bright Helm. And there are three others I know of, all with different names also.

Bugger.

I'm going to replace it with Brighton Rocks instead, which did receive two nominations, one of which appeared to be in jest. However, that'll have to count now!

The Montreal

Horse and Groom
The Gladstone

How about replacing it with the Horse and Groom?

The Horse & Groom is already in Group C. I'm not sure why I missed it off the above list
