The Freemasons Tavern, Hove

Can't help but think, if the Freemasons didn't exist where would be good to drink in Hove. H-bar, yeah right, the bowsteet bummer, bradshaws or whatever the �1000 prize winner called it. Barneys, the weatherspoons of Hove, Pearl the revolting clientel in their is enough for me to stay clear. Do you know what? I'm going to pull up a stool, order myself a bulleit and coke and thank the all seeing eye that The Freemasons is my local.

The Freemasons Tavern, Hove

The Freemasons has aways had a reputation in Brighton for one reason or another and not always favourable. For this reason i was always a bit reluctant to make the trip out on a weekend night, having read about the 'estate-agent crowd' and cheesey music...
I can honestly say that having been there a few times over the last couple of months, i've had some great nights, and not just weekends..the staff have been genuinely chatty and friendly, the service is quick and professional, and the music was a really eclectic mix of tunes.
Yes, the weekend can be really busy, and people do drink a bit too much and dance around, but that's what lively bars are about isn't it?!...my advice is, give it a try. I did and i was pleasantly surprised.
