The Bedford Tavern - Western Street, Brighton

This is a bit of a special pub - Not only is it a charming 200 year old building resplendent with its own resident ghosts (the only spirits I believe in are in the optics) it has the smallest ‘big screen’ TV :-).

Sometimes life likes to give you a metaphoric kick in the plums - I got one of these shortly after reviewing the Temple Bar, as within weeks it was shut down and torn apart! (I didn’t think it was that bad :-) )

I’ve neglected things a little of late - And there have been many changes over the summer - A few pubs have been refurbished or even renamed! And the smoking ban has begun to bite now the colder (I would say; ‘wetter’, but the summer was a bit of a washout) weather has arrived.

It’s weird seeing tables and chairs on previously empty pavements, although it lends a certain ‘continental’ air to Brighton. :-) Some of the pubs with decent sized gardens have fitted awnings and heaters, which will make it more bearable when the ‘real’ winter weather kicks in.

I spent some time in Cornwall over the summer and although they have some fantastic pubs there, they all lacked one of the really convenient things which most bars in Brighton have, namely; wifi - There was no collecting of my email whilst away, although I think this wasn’t such a bad thing.

I hope to have some new reviews over then next few days. . .

This bar is situated five minutes from the city centre, but then Brighton is not that big a city!

Timing is everything
I’ve been in this establishment a few times and it is a nice enough place, not great, but acceptable. Other people don’t seem to have been so fortunate, with reports of fights and general aggro.
