Not been there yet myself but friends say that The Old Bike Store in Worthing is another welcome addition to the Worthing micropub scene.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
[Drinking] Three new craft beer bars opening soon in Brighton
- Thread starter fataddick
- Start date
Popped in there on Friday evening, purely by chance, with [MENTION=394]nail-Z[/MENTION] as part of a mini crawl from the Corner House, via the Rocking Horse for cocktails, The Old Bike Store, a first visit to Cow & Oak, before meeting up with [MENTION=236]Papa Lazarou[/MENTION] in the Egremont.
I'm pretty sure their sign said "Micropub?", and I wonder if the question mark is due to the size of the place. Although not wide, being shop unit width, it does go back a far away. It's quite a clean look and minimalist inside. Nice place though.
They don't seem to have a site that I can find, relying on FB it seems: https://www.facebook.com/theoldbikestore/photos/a.2100231876908541/2146128205652241/?type=3&theater
Also very close by now: https://www.beernoevil.co.uk
Quite a nice little scene developing at that end of town now.
The Large One
Who's Next?
Opened last week. Not bad at all. [MENTION=616]Guinness Boy[/MENTION] will attest to that.
It's in HOVE FFS !!!!!
Seems decent too. Sent him a message on FB last week, having never met him asking if he could get me some Siren Barrel Aged Chocolate Cake and a week later he got a box in!
Indeed. A pleasant couple of pints in decent surroundings. Has excellent potential and is definitely my defacto local.

Popped into both Old Bike Store and Beer No Evil on Saturday evening with my son. The Old Bike Store is a nice space - similar to the Georgi Finn over in Goring. Decent enough range of beer. The only thing I found was that it was very noisy even thought the place was by no means full.
Wasn't sure what to expect with Beer No Evil. It is more of a beer shop than a bar and they have different licensing restrictions to the others (you have to be seated to drink). They have a few beers on tap and also one of those special machines to put tap beer into growlers while removing the air to keep the beer better. The selection of beers in the fridges is quite wide - similar to the Bottle & Jug. The couple who run it are very friendly and looking to build up the business. Not a place to go with a large group as they only have around a dozen seats but nice to pop into for a beer or two.

The Better Half is decent just off Kingsway south of the big Tesco!

Please explain, new one on me. Perhaps I am old fashioned
My basic understanding is that it keeps the beet fresher for longer. This link may explain better http://growler-station.com/process/the-freshest-beer
