Rude and pompous staff make for an unfriendly atmosphere and miserable vibe. There are so many great pubs in Brighton. Unfortunately this is no longer one of them.

This is, without a doubt, my favourite pub in the world. Hosts all people from all walks of life. Best whiskey on offer in Brighton. Really reasonable prices. The music is literally *always* perfect for the vibe that day/night. Staff are perpetually lovely. Served by Calum who ticked every box for me. Proper pub with proper ales. Never had a bad time there. If you’re in Brighton, go here; you will not be disappointed.
Blues Bopper
Probably the best boozer in town (they don't serve food) and my fave pub. Cozy place, great manager, friendly stuff anf fantastic vibe. On top of it a lot of cool DJs are often spinning old vinyl records in many different styes of music and every once in a while they even have live music. Who could ask for anything more?

One of Brighton's best pubs, no question! A cozy dark little boozer with dimmed lights for maximum satisfaction. Pleasantly divers crowd with young and old. Always busy. Great music, DJs with eclectic selection of music. Never the same, always great!

Had a fantastic visit to the eastern a few weeks back and was served by Jonny with the beard. Wonderful vibe, incredible selection of goodies and all at competitive prices too, the soundtrack was spot on too!So lovely to see how this wonderful establishment has grown over the years and reached a sterling standard! Great job to Tony and the team, can’t wait to come back!

Was in town for a couple of weeks and this pub quickly became my go to spot, great beer, and ale selection, very friendly staff (Evie was my fav barkeep). The entire team was quite welcoming and friendly, very nice regulars as well. They also have a great rotation of talented and interesting DJs Overall great pub

The staff are very friendly and recently the music of all variations is spot on . I will be back again sooner rather than later , keep up the good work guys.

For a city with such an abundance of puns, The Great Eastern is like an old friend. Always a constant in your life. A pub that feels like Brighton. Great staff, great selection of drinks, and you never know what you’ll hear musically, but it’s always quality.

Undoubtably the best pub in Brighton, full stop. Great beer, really friendly staff, and real mixed clientele. The music they play is just ace, both on a 'normal' night and the special DJ nights they have on. It's buzzy, bustling, and joyous. Just what you want from a pub in the heart of Brighton. Ace!!
