The Dragon, Brighton

These poor reviews must be about the Dragon before it changed hands in August 2005. The new landlord is the man who used to be head barman at the battle of Trafalgar near the Station, one of the best pubs in town. The Dragon used to look like a drug dealer's dream with dark corners, dismal lighting and dusty clutter everwhere. It's now much cleaner and less claustrophobic and the new menu, served Monday to Saturday evenings, is apparently excellent; there's a good selection of beers, ciders and wine plus some exotic rums and vodkas. One drawback is the lumpy wooden furniture but once that's gone it'll be a Kemp Town gem.
