That's like having to choose between being burned to death or eaten by lions.

Disagree.

No one from Brighton EVER goesa to Horatios, and it's a bit of a tourist-pub-by-numbers, but if you ended up somewhere like that in another place you'd just think 'this is a bit of a shithole - still, I'll have a pint'.

But The Branch Tavern? The horror, the horror...

I'd rather be burned to death.

Photo is not of Horatios. That is the bar half way up by fish and chip restaurant.

Yep, that's a photo of Victorias Bar. You need to go further up the pier to experience the wonder of Horatios.

The Branch is a deplorable pit.

Only the already knocked out Seafield can rival it as the dreg of the City.

Horatio's isn't even a pub is it? Karaoke bar on the end of the pier shirley?

The Branch is like a Ditchling Road pub theme pub, its that bad.

Thanks Greens :(
Me and a few mates would go to The Branch back in the day and play pool on one of the two tables upstairs, which also had a new fangled video game called Space Invaders (guess the era?) During a summer, I broke off during a game of pool, and slapped the white so hard at the front ball of the pack that it flew off the table, through the open window, hovered on the window ledge, then disappeared from view :ohmy:

Panicking a bit, I whizzed downstairs and out into the street, and spied the white across London Rd in the opposite gutter. I retrieved it, expecting it to be chipped or cracked, to find it in perfect nick :)

I shouted up to my pool partner who was looking out the window, 'It's two shots to you, but you've got to play it from here...' :lolol:

just realised... how exactly has a bar that isnt even really a pub (Karaoke bar as pointed out) got to the semi final when dumps like Mash Tun have been dropped out? just shows how the public cannot be trusted with voting.

I used to pop in the Branch on the way home from work most days in the late 80s; didn't ever intend to, but my mate and I never could walk by. For an early evening drink it was ok.
Horatios, OTOH, I've been in once, on a stag night & I had a teenage scrotebag try to start a fight with me in the bog (I told him not to be so ridiculous).
