The Basketmakers Arms, Brighton
Still an excellent pub for good quality beer - agree about the over-crowding and prices but it's the price of fame I guess. Fuller's is fine, but I still miss Gales BBB.

No mick behind the bar - just miserable alan (not that he's ever actually behind it) - wise words from your friend

On our recent pub crawl to Lewes, we didn't bother going in here since it's now GK. Interesting that all the recent reviews are about food not beer.

Quite a basic pub but you can't argue with its range of beers. I enjoyed some Sharp's Eden there and my mate had some Hepworth's Old - both excellent. It was a shame they shut at 11 or we might have had some more.

Back to its best now that GK have departed. Great pints of OSB, HSB and Harvey's - busy, lively and cosy.

This has reverted to its previous name - the Lansdowne - and seems to cater largely for a weird young crowd.

Friendly local clientele, good food at a reasonable price.
We enjoyed a fantastic pint of Harvey's. There was Hobgoblin too though we didn't try that.

A good choice of beers, well-kept. We enjoyed Hidden Pleasure and Sheepdog while visiting. Friendly people

Good food, though a tad pricey. Great welcome - natives were very friendly. Lovely to sit by a log fire on a winter's evening and drink some well-kept Speckled Hen and Abbott.
