Yes. There was some US Craft beer at the same price. The advert was on the wall in the bogs so I was not paying complete attention.
It was the Brewdog This. Is. Lager.

That's the new Brewdog lager. It's very good and a steal at the price but I'm glad you clarified this as if it was Punk IPA at £3.15 me and [MENTION=19321]Pogue Mahone[/MENTION] would now be rushing there to drain their stock.
They usually have some great beers on, the trick is to find one with decent customers...seems like the marina branch ticks this box?

I have never been there in an evening. At lunchtime it is family groups. But there are tables outside with a view over the harbour.

Absolutely. Please stay away. All of you. We don't want any NSC riff-raff down here, thanks very much.
The only restaurant with any shred of authenticity at the Marina is Bella Napoli. Real Italian food, in a place owned and staffed by real Italians. Shouting at each other in real Italian - imagine! Great atmosphere. Though, sadly, food quality can be a bit variable.
The biggest fraud down here is the Italian Brasserie ("Brasserie"
wtf). Owned by Indians.
I've only been in the airport branches, Hove, Balham and a handful of others whilst at away games and they've all been quiet. My opinion might therefore be limited. But I can imagine city centre ones can get rowdy at night.
There's that Albion fan called Doc who has visited most of them, wonder what his view is?

If it's cruisers you're after, go a little further west. Duke's Mound offers a wide and varied selection. Allegedly.
Are you unable to go 2-3 hours without a meal then Notters ? if so, there is always the 2 Litre popcorn pots and 1 Litre Cokes to keep off the pangs of starvation in the cinema.
Generally go down there after work. Don't really fancy having my dindins at 11pm! Don't get me wrong I'd generally prefer to go to an independent eatery in Brighton but you're talking and extra hour and £5 for parking.
Which is half the price of the odeon and has free parking! Believe me, if I could afford a three-bed house up the Dials I would go to the Duke of Yorks.

The West Quay Wetherspoons at the Marina is fine. Cheap beer, cheap food minus the more colourful characters who tend to frequent Spoons plus the view is nice from the balcony on a sunny summers day.....what's not to like?
Nope nothing as complicated as that, maybe for those that can't afford to take the family out much this sort of venue may suit, that's all. I've not yet seen one reply that changes my original view that there's defiantly snobbery in them there hills[emoji1] in fact food toffs[emoji1]

You're not wrong HT. I'd have been there like a shot.
I have never been in the Wetherspoons at the Marina, but living in Ovingdean means that it is incredibly convenient. I will investigate.

When you go out to dinner how many people do you personally pay for?
Do you have a family of say 2-3 children?

When my mum suggested to my dad that they go out for a meal, his answer was " why have you forgotten how to cook?" How times change, probably influenced by cooking programs on TV.

Love these kinda hipster reviews, everyone thinks they are funny and therefore the actual information in the review is well nothing.....
He could have simply said...... "The Staff are as thick as feck, The clientele are mainly fat poor people, and the food is shit"
That is all we need to know, job done.

Getting past the food snobs is quite a task on here.
Jimmys is never ever going to win any catering awards but what it does do is cater for a mass audience - mainly the 13-40 year olds.
Both my teenage boys love Jimmys and whilst i would rather go to a sit down restaurant and be served by a waiter, no one can really knock this restaurant as they do cater for every palette.
If you want a fine dining experience or dont like buffet style restaurants or you dont have a decent appetite then you wont enjoy it.
If you want a relatively cheap meal out with your family or a group of friends then Jimmys may be the place for you to go.
Ive been there 4 times since it opened.

Greece was a bit shit during the war. Luckily not all the Italians were real fascists. That love stuff's a bit complicated though innit.
