Was there a pub in Brighton station once upon a time?

In the seventies the cafe was the entrance end and the pub was platform end, unlike M&S now there was a dividing wall. To the right of the bar i think you went up ( or down ) a couple of steps and there were a couple of alcove areas with padded bench seating along the wall part. It wasn't that bad and was actually quite cosy , it was no worse than many of the pubs around at the time.

Great shout!!

Wikipedia seem to agree with you:Marks & Spencer occupy the western side of the concourse, having opened early in the first decade of the 21st century. The M&S site had previously been occupied by fast food concessions and a bar. (From May 2008 to October 2008 M&S expanded into Bonaparte's bar area.)

Before it was renamed Bonapartes, it was a proper pub called the Prince Regent. Bit of a dive in there.
Not sure when it was renamed, but during my fruit addiction days of 1995-1999 it was always the first stop on a night out.
Dread to think how much money I lost on that Casino Crazy machine.

I can't remember the number of times I found myself in there when a train was delayed or I had 5 minutes spare before my train, a very swift Grolsch if I remember correctly. I think they should bring it back, where do we sign the petition? :thumbsup:
