Seemingly nothing has been spent on the outside though.

They gave it a thorough facelift - there was scaffolding outside for a couple of weeks.

It was heaving with people at 6.00 yesterday - it's a solid enough pub, the only problem is they don't save any decent beer.

Let me get this straight. I went past the pub for the first time two weeks ago, and you're suggesting the exterior has been recently redecorated? What the hell was it like before?

I think it is and always has been hasn't it?

Yes but this will be 9.9 on the richter scale from here on in and yes it is most defiantly is THE Brighton pub. as soon as Falmer was decided-it was like fate.

Yes, it had quite an extensive going over about 18 months ago (I think, I lose track of time). They replaced just about everything: new sign, new lettering, everything painted, replaced some brickwork, I think). Car park was tarted up - the works.

Myself and my boy go there, and they seem quite happy about it.

Mind you, we sit outside.

I'd use the bar on the right ( as you look ), as it's quieter.

Saying that, we'd like to go to Dick's bar, but I'm not sure if we're allowed in on matchdays.

Anyone know?
