Is there anything better than having a nice relaxing drink with your dog by your side? We didn't think so.

We like pubs. And having been to a fair few in our time, we thought we’d highlight some of the best ones we’ve visited in and around Brighton and Hove over the past few months, years, decades and millennia.

Previously known as The Rockingham, The Lion & Lobster is a multi-level pub twith a vibrant atmosphere and very quirky decor (we’re talking fairy lights galore!)

Nestled in the heart of Brighton & Hove, The Caxton Arms is a charming pub with a rich history dating back to the early 20th century.

Based In the vibrant Seven Dials area of Brighton & Hove, Good Companions is a fantastic local pub with a rich history. Offering an incredible ever-changing range of craft beer, it’s also got arguably the biggest (and best) beer gardens in Brighton.

Brighton & Hove has so many pubs to choose from it can be difficult knowing which ones to visit. We make it easy for you – here are our six of our favourites.
