He is indeed. I spend many a messy night in there when I get to Brighton.

Ah! That makes more sense. Yeah, the Battle in Brighton is probably one of the best pubs I know of.

I like the Battle. One of my favourite pubs. Used to be my local when Garf was running it. Still pop in when I'm in Brighton. Had some great afternoons/evenings in there. Garden in summer is one of Brighton's best. Weirdly, you rarely ever get any decent looking birds in there though. Lots of...

The Hare & Hound on Preston Circus has to be one of the shittest pubs around. One of the few pubs I know that was total pit, closed down for improvements and bizarrely opened up again as an even worse shit hole. Quite an achievement.

I bet. I hope it gets back on it's feet.

Nice pub now but does have some bargains on offer!

It's a top pub, brews his own upstairs doesn't he. Super stuff. Went in a couple of times last summer, sitting out watching the world go by., Aye, good stuff.

Ah, a Moped bird. Moped. Fun to ride but you wouldn't let your mates see you on it.

Had a flat lager in there once. Dive and moody landlady. I find it bizarre when pubs just don't update. It's fair enough if a pub is full of old boys who like it to look old fashioned but when a pub just has no-one in it AT ALL it's time to re-think. Near there, although I wouldn't even class...

Haha! Oh dear, it's a guy called Pash who owns it , he owns The Caxton too. Nice guy but I've not been in The Dover for ages. Yes, those pubs are fine one year, shitholes the next and go rapidly downhill. I used to spend a lot of time in the Constant, always a lock in. I have been going in...

Ha, I spent a lot of time in my twenties and early thirties visiting various pubs plus I've lived in a fair few places in Brighton so just got to know a fair amount. Still many I have never been in though!

There is a pub a short way past Prestonville Rd towards Shoreham, round in the houses, believe it's now called the Chimney Stack or Pot or summat. It made an effort to be nice but it was without fail one of the most soulless, badly decorated heaps I have ever drunk in. I lived on Prestonville...

Lovely pub. I no longer live in Brighton but when I get back I always make a point of a pint in there. Very fond of that pub.

That boozer has had a few different personalities, ranging from rather decent to the downright shocking. I think I went in there when that lot were running it. About 6 or 7 years ago it was rum by a right mob of people you didn't want near you. All those pubs up Southover, save for the Greys...

Have the staff's attitudes improved at the Open House at all? Not been there for a couple of years but the staff used to just raise their eyes up when you walked in and go back to their texting. Genuinely rude staff in that place which is a shame as it's a lovely boozer.

The big one on 5 ways if it's still there, was routinely voted one of Brighton's worst about 10 years ago.

That rings bells

Grippers. That's so true, love it. Everywhere on George St is awful as are most Wetherspoons but that one is particularly grot. Now, who can tell me this one, I don't know the name of the pub or the street but if you go up near the to of elm Grove and cut into a little pedestrianized, mews...

Not a fan of The Haunt. Most pretentious. Those two chain pubs on George St have got to be in the running?

All good calls there Munkington. The Rat and Trumpet which has had many incarnations over the last decade or so. When I first lived on The Dials 15 years ago it was a worse place than it is now. Full of gamblers going back and forth to the Ladbrokes until they'd lost the kid's school shoe...
