No, definitely the same boozer. That whole Polar thing was pretty weird too. Polar East, West and Central, all three owned by Drink in Brighton. I worked in Polar Central a few times. A mate of mine used to be a manager for DiB, and I would do the odd shift for her every now and again.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

Not sure how long it will take for the bloke to make a difference but they usually make a big push for 'Octoberfest' so hopefully we could start seeing some good stuff quite soon.
Or they might keep rolling out samey plane ales, we shall see. I do like the fact you can see the stuff being brewed, just a shame there's not more taste.
Worth picking up the Camra Sussex Drinker free magazine for info on that sort of thing.
Back on subject and now the prices of other pubs has caught up, I'd actually back the Basketmakers this time round, the only thing the Battle does better is the garden.

I shall nominate the Brighton Beer Dispensary
That colour being spray tan orange
As I said earlier, I'm nominating The Bevy: good choice of local beer -which often cheaper then Spoons - and a fantastic Sunday roast (even the veggie option is good, and that's very rare). Incredibly friendly too, seem to strike up a conversation with someone every time I'm in there ... and it's not about buying hooky gear, which seemed to be the case in its previous incarnation

Have to say the menu I looked at in there the other day had some of the most pretentious overpriced bar snack bolleaux I've seen in any pub menu anywhere ever. And the folks at the next table had tea served in the most ridiculous jam jar type things.
Wouldn't happen just north of Aberdeen.

I will second the Brighton Beer Dispensary (even though I have already nominated it earlier in the thread...
Can I also nominate The Albert, The Evening Star and The Craft Beer Co, please.
Oh, and The Mitre. Might struggle for a second on that place but I love it.

I suggest anyone can update the nomination list, as I won't be on here ALL the time.
I guess we need to put a deadline on this as well.
Let's say all nominations close by 8pm Sunday. Gives people a football Saturday to sample a few pubs!
