The Bear Inn, Brighton

I used to go here quite a lot as it was pretty convenient to meet friends and watch the football (in the days of �2 a pint Carlsberg here!). Friendly staff and there was usually a recognisable face or two in there whenever I was in. However it's a bit small and poky, not much of a garden, no big screens to watch the football on, difficult occasionally to find a seat.

The Gladstone, Brighton

Definitely my favourite pub on Lewes Road. Nice atmosphere, surprisingly large (only difficult to find a seat when their music festival Gladstonebury is on). Decent enough range of lagers, ales and ciders. Prices were okay-ish (�3.30 for a Heineken, �3 for a pint of Stowford Press). In the middle of Studentland as well!
