There are quite a few for great food but not many with brown beer, probably the best for food is a little pub called the Hop poles just off the seafront, if you are in the north laine try the basketmakers.

I'm no local, but I've been to this place several times on recent visits. The most recent review pretty much sums up what I think of it. (It's in a lovely spot...down one of the lanes (Laines?) as well.) http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/32/3286/Bath_Arms/Brighton |

yes bath arms is good too right in the laines, to be fair there are fucking loads as long as you avoid the chain stuff like firkins and weatherspoons. Hop poles has to be best for food though.

If you're coming down by train and you like your beer it might be worth popping into The Evening Star.. http://www.eveningstarbrighton.co.uk/pub.php right by the station and it brews its own high quality beers.. Good selection as well. Don't think it does food though and if it's a sunny day I think outside space is a bit limited.. Other than that as KOT says the Hop Poles is a very good bet but can get very busy at popular times.. The Bath Arms is always good but I don't think there's any outside space. The Cricketers is also a decent bet.. The Cricketers, The Bath Arms and The Hop Poles are all in the lanes area and close to the sea front.. |

I am a current resident and I can fully recommend the Queen's Head up by the train station, basically the first pub you see when you get off the train. If you catch them at the right time they even have a happy hour which is very reasonable I must say. Stay away from West Street (unless you are chavs) as it has your Yates', Wetherspoons, Walkabout, Oceana etc etc, needles to say its a nightmare at night time.

Good luck with that. I've been to half a dozen or so in brighton, and they've always been really messy, and in hindsight really rather good.
