Pub Scene - Brighton & Hove Pubs

This is another little pub tucked out of the way, a hundred yards south of Western Road. Even so, this is a popular boozer, with a good amount of regulars propping-up the bar.

Inside
The pub you’ll find a cosy atmosphere with two real fires and a good selection of beers. This is another establishment with a big screen TV, so not the best place to be for a quiet drink during any sporting event. The regulars are friendly but this pub does get busy during peak times. The décor is interesting with old papers decorating the walls and a good selection of seating.

The prices are reasonable; export beer coming in at £3/pint and a not unpleasant range of wines from £7.95 per bottle.

Food is available, as is a range of veggie options. The burgers are very good! Service has always been prompt and friendly every time I’ve visited.

Another area where I rate pubs is on toilets, the reasoning being; if they can’t keep the toilets clean, what hope for a clean kitchen or cellar – Here they are reasonable, being well stocked and clean. This is also another ‘family friendly’ pub; so you may want to give it a miss if you want to avoid small children during the day.

Verdict
The Lion & Lobster is well worth a visit, but you may want to avoid if you’re not a sports fan.
