agreed, it is a bit rough and ready around the edges but despite that it is one of the few Hove pubs where normal type people can have a drink and catch up without being surrounded by street drinkers and crazy types screaming non stop and also where there's none of the fake snobbery and pretend...
its quite depressing reading this as makes you realise that for a so called trendy big city we have far more complete dives than actual half decent pubs....I thought Brighton was bad, living in Hove now makes me realise that's not much better either! The Seafield and all of the George Street...
