This place is the least friendly place in Brighton. It’s almost like they go out of their way to make you feel unwelcome. Have tried 5 times and Everytime it’s the same unless you are friends with one of the two bar men you will be ignored and made feel uncomfortable. I have tried so many times but I always feel uncomfortable. They make it feel like youre interrupting their private space. It’s sad to see considering the small community of Brighton, it has such great potential but it remains as a clique within a clique.
Good boozer
Great bar, lovely bar man (Ollie). Was a little quiet when we visited
One of a kind spot in Brighton. The vibe is always chilled, welcoming, and full of good energy. What really makes the difference is the staff, super friendly and attentive, they create an atmosphere that makes you want to come back again and again... A great place to have a drink, and enjoy the good vibes
Stinking gutters very exclusive and old hat except for a barman there called David their only saving grace.
