T. M. (.

Great cask & keg selection at premium prices. Dropped in there as the final stop of my day visit to Brighton in October. Tired of having walked up and down the hill (and up and down again, and again) during the day, I was happy to unwind at this "micro"pub in the early evening. The emphasis is very firmly on modern style keg beers, and there's plenty to choose from. About half the beers are in steady rotation, the other half are "keepers". There's a printed list available, with the ABV and style of each item included. Some of the beers are very expensive, think of UK 7 for a high ABV half-pint, or even a third. A little too expensive methinks, but Brighton is a tourist spot and prices along the Channel coast tend to be on the higher side of the spectrum anyway. It's a friendly place, with highly knowledgeable and welcoming staff, so I lingered for more than two hours and had a bite, too, one of their burgers (which was good and not too expensive). Beer wise, expect to spend at least UK6 and up on the regular ABV pints. I was in a bit of an agitated mood when I came there, due to problems with my vaping equipment, but the atmosphere made me calm down in due course. Good place altogether, and conveniently close to the station.

Nice pub with good atmosphere. Beers are generally on the strong ABV % but very tasty

T. K.

Best beer list I’ve found in Brighton. The bartender was very friendly. Nice atmosphere. I visited on a Monday and they don’t serve food that day. I’ll definitely be back for the great beers and to give their food a try.

N. B.

Great experience, and a really attentive server... Will deffo come back... oh and the beers were amazing

S. B.

Great beer selection that changes all the time, friendly and knowledgeable bar staff and an amazing veggie burger. The best in Brighton!

J. R.

Excellent choices for food and drink Very friendly and helpful staff NB no step-free access to ground floor but staff can offer assistance. Two flights of steps to upper floor.

B. H.

One of the broadest selection of craft beers in Brighton. Take home bottles are - 30% cheaper. The sweet potato chips to die for(and all the dips that come with it)!

A. D.

Great beer tasting session for the stag do

j. p.

Craft Beer Co is a lively space in central Brighton that was one of the first outlets for craft beers in Brighton. Friendly and compact.

V. W.

Always a pleasure, great staff, fantastic craft beer selection every week and knowledge from the bar staff that makes your pint that little bit more satisfying

Really enjoyed the afternoon here, Rick was a gent too.

L. J.

April 2017: The best selection of ales and ciders yet. Some great sour/lambic ales and super friendly staff, especially Josh!

T. F.

Visited this place and the man behind the bar was super patient with our order. (Crofton). We asked to sample multiple IPA'S and he made sure to take his time. Not to mention the amazing smell of wood burning in the pub. Carried out a YOUTUBE review which was extremely popular. Authentic and amazing array of drafts. Don't miss out on the opportunity to visit. 10/10

V. S.

I love the beer choices, all decently priced, nice bar staff and good pub grub. What more do you need?

J. S.

Possibly my favourite Craft Beer Co (well, outside of London at least). Great, tucked away spot for amazing beer

H. B.

Lovely pub, super friendly staff. Selection of drinks is amazing! Thank you for a lovely evening :)

G. E.

solid beer and good venue

J. B.

One of my fave pubs, great selecrion, not too crowded, helpful staff who can make a good recommendation. Food is incredible too

O. D.

Burgers not that good any more. Dry and tasteless. Chips quite nice. Good beer selection but pricey.

P. F.

Nice beer, and the cleanest toilet I've seen since I used the harrods one where they charged £1.

J. F.

Great selection of beer. Polite staff. Good menu.

P. h.

Great beer selection and knowledgeable staff know their stuff. Lots of Sport screens if that is your thing.

T. C.

Bit pricey, but expected in Brighton, excellent beer. Had an evil twin tap takeover when I went m

P. T.

So new review from me for this place. The craft beer co in Brighton has recently undergone a refurbishment. It is now a bit more traditional in its decor style. But it's not just the decor that has transformed. There are more drinks options, with a larger selection on tap. There is also more variety in the food - vegans now get at least one option on the menu a day, whereas before it was a case of surviving on bar nibbles. The staff are all still their wonderful selves & very knowledgeable about their drinks offerings. Sadly if you have difficulty mobilising there is a limited amount of space for you as you can only make it through one entrance & the rest of the pub & it's toilets are accessible only through stairs. This is an improvement overall, now we just need to wait & see if the heating in the winter works! Or we can just warm ourselves with friendship & booze :)

P. T.

Great choice of craft beers in a nice quiet location just above Brighton's main shopping area

D. M.

Really nice traditional Brighton pub. Great beer selection. What's not to like?

J. D.

Great selection of beers. Cosy atmosphere. Friendly staff. Noise level is ok for chatting.

K. M.

Cracking burgers and a wide selection of beers (although you usually pay a premium for them). Lovely and cosy for the beer connoisseur.

K. P.

Good range of real ales, friendly pub, pity there isn't a bus stop close by eliminating the need to climb up a steep hill.

P. B.

Great beer friendly helpful staff, but they need to turn up the heating and change the music!

A. K.

A great find in Brighton! A very friendly atmosphere and a superb roast dinner. Couldn't fault the food, drinks, service and price! Will definitely revisit when back in Brighton.

A. S.

Super friendly, fresh taps and what look like amazing burgers, but we didn't have one.

R. G.

Friendly staff and amazing beer! Much nicer since recent refurb too.

L. C.

An excellent selection of awesome beers and ciders , warm and friendly and have winning brewery guest nights.

A bit off track from city center which was appreciated. Good selection of beers. Gets crowded, could wish for more space inside.

Good selection of beers, tasty food. A terrace or some outdoor seating would make it perfect.

It could do with some actual lager and a few less beards but rhe nm board games night on a Wednesday is fun

M. P.

Nice pub tucked above the bustle of western road. Good food and nice selection of beers.

J. B.

Whilst this place is popular and has a good buzz, at £5.80 a pint it certainly makes walking from the bar back to your table much more uncomfortable than it should be.

J. B.

Great selection of craft beers, the burgers are excellent too

Amazing beer selection. And very cozy feeling.

B. T.

Great range of beers and friendly staff who are clearly passionate about the tastes on offer. I had a burger that almost blew my head off too. Massive, meaty and juicy with excellent homemade chip fries. Wicked.

T. H.

This is an excellent pub. A group of us had an amazing afternoon when we enjoyed a beer tasting session hosted by Ric. Who would have thought an afternoon on the lash could be educational too! The range of beers available are mind boggling, catering for every taste, style and price possible. The only thing left to say is thank you.

S. o.

J. D.

Such a good range of beers. Food is decent too. Gets busy so maybe book

m. 4.

Expensive - but lovely homely atmosphere and very nice (and HUGE) burger.

J. B.

Great stout and great sours. Great pub , 🙂

M. B.

Great selection of beers including some genuine rarities. Friendly and helpful team behind the bar, and always a nice atmosphere. Would be nice if there was at least 1 vegan option on the food menu, though. This is Brighton, after all! If there had been, we'd have been here all night! Other than the food sitch, can't really fault it.

C. B.

If you love craft beers as the name suggests this is a great place for you. Recently refurbed this place has a great vibe but has everything a craft drinker wants. They also have good sports coverage making this the place for craft and sport in the city. Not eaten here yet, hope it's as good for the complete package!

M. B.

Great beer. Lots of different choices. Food is great too. A little pricey, think £10 a pint.... But worth it. Had the chips... Were brill, a good sized portion. NOT recommended if you are on a diet, otherwise if you can afford it... 1 of the best places to go in Brighton if you like beer.

M. R.

Sadly had to wait almost an hour and half after ordering our food. When it did finally arrived was very impressive (Potatoes were too hard to cut) Pub atmosphere good, music a bonus. Staff very polite and friendly but so busy they had to struggle to give efficient service. Because of the long wait, I had a second drink - over £8 for a large gin (had half a bottle left from first one ) was expensive. Definitely will come again, but not on Mothers day. 2.45 was the only time available, which is why we took it. But by 4.15 we were all starving. Loved your baked shredded parsnip I think, inside the lush Yorkshire puds. Going to have a go at making it at home. Thanks guys for a very pleasant Mothers day treat.

b. w.

Super craft beer tasting event, fantastic selection of different types and styles of beer to try. Great food too and genuine welcome, highly recommended guys 👍

M. R.

Pros: great beer selection and ok wine. Fab that dogs are allowed as the London pubs don’t allow. Really friendly staff. Cons: terrible food when we visited yesterday and wasn’t any better on earlier occasions. Just tasteless and greasy. Summary - go for beer, not food

R. D.

Great bar with fantastic selection of ales & very friendly staff.

J. R.

Great beer selection and staff at this branch of Craft Beer Co. A very big plus is that they allow dogs which none of the London Craft Beer Cos do. However, the food is extraordinarily bad. We ordered tapas and they were completely tasteless and dripping of fat, a complete disappointment. In summary, visit for great beers but avoid the food!

E. B.

Always has a wicked, chilled out atmosphere in there. The bar staff are very knowledge so if you're a craft beer newb like me they can steer you in the right direction. Pricey for a pint but you're paying for quality, worth it every time.

R. F.

Great beer, great service and great food. Selection of craft beers & ciders is unbeatable. Really friendly atmosphere! What more could you want!

B. M.

Amazing roast sirloin of beef. Hands down the best roast I've had in Brighton for quite some time. Great service from all the staff too. Will definitely be back!

J. G.

Great place, unique in Brighton. Exceptional beers, wide range of English and imported. Most importantly, very friendly and helpful staff, who ask what you're looking for and offer you little tastes til you find something that you like. Price can be high, but can certainly find a pint around average price (say 4 quid) and certainly much nicer than average!

A. M.

Great selection of beers, good amount of hand pulled. Traditional pub atmosphere, as far as this Yank knows. But damn if the buses that come around that corner don't seem like they are going go right through that damn place.

c. t.

Wide decent beer selection and limited but tasty food choices. Efficient and friendly staff and doing well with current regulations too.

R. Y.

We recently had a Beer Tasting Session here for a group of 12. Our host Richard was brilliant, knew his stuff and made us feel at home. Great value for £25 each. Can't wait to come back.

G. G.

Great staff, amazing selection of beer. Food menu was okay. I'll definitely be back one day!

T. M.

Good range of beers that I'd mostly never heard of - perfect for those who love IPA. They show sports and do food. I went on Sunday and had a roast which was pretty standard. Friendly staff. Will go back I think.

J. H.

My favourite pub in Brighton. Amazing selection of craft beers, ciders and perry's. Surprisingly it has a very good selection of wine. The atmosphere is great, the pub is always busy although you can usually get a table or perch somewhere. More pubs like this please!

S. M.

They show sports and have 4 unusual real ales in addition to an extensive craft beer selection from across Europe. Fairly priced tables show pre booked times so not easy to get a seat weekend evenings. Food burgers and like

M. G.

Really nice pub with a fantastic range of real ales and some ciders I'd never seen before. Nice atmosphere but the only fairly major downside is that although there's food menus everywhere, they no longer seem to serve food at lunchtimes. This presents a bit of a problem when you go in as a group order a load of drinks and then get told that the menu's are there for use in the evening only.

J. W.

Great menu, Good modern surroundings

T. M.

Great food and a generous variety of beers and ales. We have visited a few times and have always been pleased. Highly recommend The Craft Beer Company!

M. N.

Awesome place, great selection of beers, I phoned in last minute but they still managed to reserve a table for us. Food was a bit of a wait but it was good too. Coming back soon

H. B.

Awesome atmosphere and the food is amazing. On wednesdays they have board games!

A. M.

Fabulous service by the waiter this evening 28/06. A very enjoyable evening watching the football. Thank you!

A. C.

Excellent Beer and great tasting experience. Ran with passion. The bit worth 5 stars.....Went last month for a stag doo beer tasting booked through chilli sauce. The manager was very knowledgeable about the beer he selected to serve. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is the mix up with the food. No one at our table ordered a holumi burger but two of us were waiting for food. The kitchen had two holumi burgers they were adament we had ordered. It went on far too long with a staff member asking the question several times and even the chef coming out twice implying we were wrong. In all fairness while the manager could of been quicker to grab the situation by the balls. When someone is so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the core product you can forgive him, he carried interesting conversation for several hours. Genuinely would of given 5 stars if the chef hadn't had the brass neck to pop out and imply we didn't know what we had ordered. I will definately return next time I'm in Brighton, may just eat elsewhere.

N. A.

Far and away the best pub in Brighton (and beyond)! The bar staff really know their beer and have amazing stuff popping up on tap all the time. Lovely vibe, not pretentious at all despite the hip beers and area, and just a great place to enjoy a drink or two.

C. G.

The staff are friendly and the beers selection are nice but nothing special. However, a tat dear for Brighton. The logo is new but the interiors are old, nothing like the photos online in my humble opinion.

R. L.

A group of us always visit after bell ringing practice on a Monday evening. Always assured of a warm welcome with a good range of beers and other drinks on offer. Would recommend without hesitation.

J. S.

Great selection of craft beers on tap and friendly staff. Food is available (mainly burgers and kebabs) and is passable if you need a feed but come here more for the beer and relaxed atmosphere.

r. r.

Great pub with great beers at a range of prices. Friendly, helpful staff and bookable tables and room. Tasty burgers and amazing sweet potato fries. One of my favourite Brighton pubs.

Was a clear 5 star pub until the recent downgrade! My issue is all the nice things have gone, no Van Winkle all the expensive bottled beers and rare stuff seams to have been removed. Basically there is no point going out of your way to try something strange any more. No last Thursday of the month Blue Smoke House pop up restaurant. Oh and the nice fruit juice seams to have gone also. On the plus side; they still do the same number of drafts just the selection seams to be a little less bespoke! Time to move on and remember the glory days gone by!!

Really nice friendly place with a great selection of beers and cider. Youll also find a log burner, TV, comical bar staff and a great food menu that includes chips with your burger without paying extra!!

Amazing selection of well kept beer with a friendly and knowledgeable group of bar staff. Excellent, high quality food at a very reasonable price.

A. F.

Warm and cosy atmosphere, good selection of local beers. Bartender warned me when I ordered an expensive pint in case I wasn't expecting the price. Fantastic pub all in all

N. C.

A lovely little place with a variety of beers on tap as well as a bottle shop. Some of the prices were a little steep but we always go when we're in Brighton as it's a great place to spend a few hours.

The beers are good, the burgers are not bad. However it isn't cosy, the seating and tables are kind of wrong and it feels a bit odd and uncomfortable. The human cannonball however is amazing, when they have it.

You can't miss it! One of the best selections available of craft beer on tap. Conscious of local projects, businesses, and supply chain. Nice location with a warm ambience. Very knowledgeable staff. You'll be back, for sure, to try what you couldn't taste before.

Hard to fault Craft outlets. I had a lovely killer barley wine followed be an equally lethal imperial stout. This branch even shows the football.

Another pint of cask Broken Dream, every bit delicious as the previous pints ×*×****************** First time I've seen Broken Dream in cask for ages, couldn't stop myself

Does what it says on the tin, staff all passionate about the beer and have great product knowledge, staff happy to post samples. Beer not cheap. No frills drinkers establishment. A must for real ale fans.

L. H.

Nice, bright, friendly place with loads of choice in the beer department. Do a great Sunday lunch.

T. M.

I always thought I disliked real ales but the barman very kindly took the time to ask questions and actually found a couple of beers that I actually liked! Apparently I like sour beers! I was very impressed with his passion and knowledge. I may be a convert!

S. B.

Great food and service. Excellent choice of beers

T. S.

Great selection of beers, good knowledgable bar staff. Big screens to watch live sports. Shame there is no outside seating, otherwise 5 stars

E. B.

Amazing burgers! The best pub food I've had in Brighton for a while, great selection of beers and ciders. Staff are super friendly and lovely!

R. C.

The bar staff are lovely and very accommodating. great selection of drinks. unfortunately burgers took over an hour to arrive and were dry and overcooked.

A. L.

Love this place! They have a great selection of beers on draught and available in bottles. Well over 100 to choose from. You can also book yourself in for a tasting session where you can try a bit of what they have to offer.

B. P.

Fantastic selection of craft beers which are changed on a regular basis. Staff are clearly passionate about beer and extremely knowledgeable. Spirits selection is a little on the small side, but adequate and what one might expect from a more specialized craft beer pub. Overall, a very nice place to go and enjoy a beer.

M. G.

When you go to this pub ask the staff for their advice, I've been a few times and they are a friendly bunch who will match a drink to your tastes. Also even though there was no vegan food, I asked the chef to prepare something for me and got something specially made, quality service.

G. W.

Very good selection of beers

J. M.

27 craft beers on tap. Burgers & specials. All good. Check prices before you order a pint of something exotic; some rare beers can be expensive.

R. D.

The best staff so friendly. Amazing drinks selections. Amazing food. And always decent music selection.. My Favourite chesse is brie

M. G.

I love it in here. It's very airy and clean. The staff are lovely and there is a good selection of beverages, including a particularly good stout. I recommend this for a lunch drink or for the evening.

P. F.

Bearded barman is cool - they'd obviously put a lot of effort into managing covid, was a very chilled experience

I. D.

Did the beer tasting with Elliot, interesting and funny guy. Good variety of beers. Would recommend.

J. H.

My favourite pub in Brighton. Amazing selection of craft beers, ciders and perry's. Surprisingly it has a very good selection of wine. The atmosphere is great, the pub is always busy although you can usually get a table or perch somewhere. More pubs like this please!

M. R.

Pros: great beer selection and ok wine. Fab that dogs are allowed as the London pubs don’t allow. Really friendly staff. Cons: terrible food when we visited yesterday and wasn’t any better on earlier occasions. Just tasteless and greasy. Summary - go for beer, not food

I booked this for my brothers stag do. There was 12 of us and every single one of us thought it was awesome..the man teaching us was knowledgeable and funny. He made it a really fun experience and we would all do it again. Cheers!

Excellent Sunday roast. The turkey was lovely and moist and crispy crackling with the pork! The vegetables were perfectly cooked with plenty of variety, the 12 hour gravy rich and meaty, Yorkshire puds were fluffy and crispy. Well done chef! Brilliant service too, keeping the place clean and safe. Great choice of beers and football showing.

I. C.
