| This pub has now been taken over by new management since the last review and is very, very different. The Pub attracts a mixed crowd of young and older punters. It has a friendly ambiance and serves a good range of beers, wines and spirits. The Bar staff are attentive, friendly and great fun. I have seen some great shows there, including open mic nights and performances by Miss Trudi Styles (a sight to be seen!). Definately worth checking out if your in town and swiftly becoming my local. atilatheharv - 25 Jun 2007 16:31 |
The last time I visited the Black Horse was about five years ago, and it was something of an oddity then. One bar was closed and the other seemed as though it hadn't seen an alteration since the Seventies. Despite being very much a "locals" pub - and elderly locals at that - it was friendly, and basically okay. I'd heard that it had been taken over and modernised in the way that's ruined so many good pubs in Brighton, so I never bothered to go back until last night. Although the decor of the place is typical Brighton trendy, the pub itself appears to be on its last legs. Both the bitters were off, along with the cider (Strongbow), and after a couple of pints the Guinness went too. Even the crisp selection was thin (plain only). The ladies lavatory was unusable as it was caked in excrement. Apart from the folk singers (the reason I'd gone along) there were four or five punters in and at least two of them were staggering drunk. It's a terrible shame because, despite not being in the most picturesque of spots, it's always struck me as having the potential for being a nice little local and its proximity to Kemptown would supply all the patrons it would ever need. Unfortunately, if it carries on the way it is, it's not going to attract anyone beyond local drunks. Hancock - 6 Dec 2005 12:16 |
