    Crazy at night. I don't know if it's every night, but they have live music until 23:00 and then a DJ plays till 2am. It's not that crowded, but people are crazy there. Brighton IPA best beer there

    Quite a nice pub with good live music on a Monday night. Room enough to dance and a laid back crowd. Not cheap for a drink.. but then it is central Brighton.
