This is a great place with plenty of atmosphere, if perhaps a little seedy. As a single unacompanied male I found the all female staff treated me with an air of disdain, clearly I wasn't one of their tribe. The beer however was excellent & the whole building had plenty of nooks & crannies to explore, especially upstairs where the outside balcony & fireplace was a joy to discover. The whole building & furnishings did feel as though they needed a thoroughly deep cleaning after years of beer & god only knows what else being sprayed across the walls.

I would love to rediscover this establishment on my next foray into Brighton, however I would feel more comfortable by being escorted by an attractive female or several. Perhaps then the bar staff would then treat me with more conviviality.

All in all, a worthwhile experience, definitely one for the ladies.
