The Cyclist - Brighton station

[Bad Ash]

Great a place cyclists can meet up and discuss how they'll ruin motorists days

Nah, we discuss that while cycling four abreast very slowly.

I noticed it yesterday. It does't look as awful as i'd expect it to, though I can see it being a bit hipsterish. It would be an ok place to meet visitors with limited navigation skills

 

[Screaming J]

Pubs in railway stations have nearly always been crap though, haven't they? Not just that one.

Stalybridge, Dewsbury and Huddersfield all have pretty good Station bars. Oh, and I believe Sheffield does as well.

 

[Badger]

Thank GOODNESS, Brighton Station has been crying out for this, otherwise you have to walk MILES to get a pub.

 

[pasty]

If they're open before 6.30am this could be seriously bad news for my waistline. #BaconSarnieOnTheTrain

Football fans allowed, no chance!

I guarantee it will be closed pre and post match.

Greenfields, Mossley,.... 'The Ale Train'..... did it last year whilst on my son-in-laws stag day,..... great beer at each and every one between Huddersfield and Mossley.

Victoria have a Wetherspoons and Brighton has a ponces palace, TYPICAL

 

[Napper]

looks good.

Is it where the toilets are next to the gate that lets us through for the falmer trains ? If so , great chance to send in a mate to grab some beers for the que.

Plastic glasses surely

What was wrong with Bonapartes?

Bloody loved that bar,you were only permitted in there if you had had a " proper " day out boozing and smelled of vomit and kebabs.

Who needs pictures of new signings, new kit and new training grounds

Have you never been to Maningtree?

 

[atfc village]

Manningtree,York ,Sheffield and Newcastle all have decent Station Pubs.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Bonapartes. You are correct, it was shite.

Always found Bonapartes a strangely-reassuring Brightonian seedy drinking-hole of last resort before you got on a train. Few passengers dared venture in there, the bar staff were a bit creepy if not downright sinister, as a result you got served straight away. Seem to recall it had the train departure times on an even cruder form of Ceefax than the original, should such a thing be possible. DFLs would have HATED it.

 

[Arthur]

So..........what beers have they got on?

 

[8ace]

The spoons in Leeds station is ok, as are the pubs upstairs at Euston and Manchester Picadilly for a swift one. You also get to use the toliet for free.

 

[The Wookiee]

Imagine the the outcry if a pub was called the Motorist !!

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

newcastle has a great station pub....it's certainly possible

one potential issue for this place is the sheer amount of competition. There are so many decent pubs within a 5-10 walk

 

[johnny jigsaw]

The Mad Bishop and Bear at Paddington is pretty decent.

It always had a fairly off putting smell to it, if I remember rightly. I can't remember if it was piss or vomit
