Apparently there's a new bar opening on the station. Don't know much about it, but apparently it's going into 'Unit 2'. I presume it'll be next to the Amex queue near Platform 8. Sounds like it may have potential.

Some pics on their Twitter feed...

Hope it's better than the bar that used to be on Brighton station. I can't remember the name but it was a right hole.

There's a few of these type bars dotted around london, one down the road from me in old street. They seem to be very popular amongst the beards round here.

Can I ask what a "beard" is? Other than a woman married to a gay man in denial?

That's it, it looks very Brighton, and for that reason I'm out.

Pubs in railway stations have nearly always been crap though, haven't they? Not just that one.

Is that the one above WH Smith, in the middle?

A station pub at somewhere like Victoria or Brighton must be an absolute gold mine, every time there's a signal failure or a one under, thousands of people stuck there for hours with nothing to do but stare at the iPad.

To be fair, you don't need "one-under", I often pop in when I'm in the big smoke getting a train back before the rush hour, say around 3.30 and it's packed then. Although rents are very, very high.

Great a place cyclists can meet up and discuss how they'll ruin motorists days
