Evening visit. The kitchen has gone said a board outside. Apparently the space is now used as a green room for visiting bands. One may bring in food from local establishments or order a delivery now instead.

Late evening visit. First time ever I have seen no one sitting out on the front pavement seats. Music quiz inside in full swing with questions too obscure for me by being of this century!

The pub is found in Brighton, East Sussex, BN1 4ED.
A pub that is as near to being underneath Brighton railway station as one can get in Trafalgar Street (No 48). Transforms from office workers at lunchtimes to students and music enthusiasts in the evening. Out front seated drinking area. A multi-room Victorian pub which has 6 handpumps on the bar counter. For a long time it has been a music venue but more latterly has offered a good range of real ales too. 50p per pint CAMRA discount on real ales.
We have visited this pub 30 times, seen 66 different beers and tried 23 of them.
