I used to like the Spreadmobile the beat up old transit they would use to transport alkies about in. The Spread was alright had many a good laugh in there.

Any idea why it has closed? I walked pat it a few weeks back and it seemed like it was open, it must have closed very recently.

Never went in there, it's the sort of pub I would only go in if I knew someone in there.

A bit like the Lion and Unicorn (The Blue House), I went in there a few times and have a good laugh, but I always felt ok because I knew people in there.

Does anybody remember when it was the Berlin Bar. I was just 16 when I went in there but it had a bit of a dodgy atmosphere.

every scrote in brighton used to pitch up in there. was THE place for a time late eighties/early nineties after it changed from hennnekys. that or smugglers for lads of a certain age. a kind of honey club of that time, if you youngsters need a comparison.

Oh, the Martha Gunn and

Wouldn't describe the Hub as a hole though, reasonably friendly studenty bar.

The Bugle isn't rough.

You didn't see the looks I got last time I went in there. I suppose it's not rough but they don't take kindly to folks from the other side of Lewes Road or the other side of Upper Lewes Road, which doesn't leave much!

The Junction in Burgess Hill. My sister used to go in there because she was mates with all the loons and they used to have regular lock ins where the entertainment was provided by a bouncer swinging his chainsaw around.

hINTED ABOVE ALREADY BUT in my early years of drinking in the mid 70's -though I was already aware of their reputations before that time - but the pubs outside the station, to the Queens Head and a couple of the clubs above the shops along Queens Road were certainly very dodgy and on a Friday night after the navvies picked up their wages,were always a laugh if you liked dodging punches and glasses.

You weren't wearing football colors by any chance were you? The landlord doesn't like football as he's a huge rugby fan. Otherwise as Chappers say, it's probably the friendliest pub in Brighton.

Brilliant place to go as well during the Six Nations, and you'll find me in there on a fair few Sunday afternoons.

No, no I wasn't... Maybe because I'm young? Though I'm not THAT young!

I've been drinking in the Martha Gunn a fair bit recently. Not the nicest place but the landlord is a decent chap and the locals are alright.

You can always pick certain things up in there too.
