The Watchmakers Arms in Brighton and Hove

Lovely little 'real' pub with a smallish but excellent range of ales and ciders plus some wines - they also do pizzas though I'm yet to try them. Used to come here few years ago when it first opened and on returning after a long time still seems just as good and well run which is a relief. It's very conveniently located for Hove station and the number 7 bus which means getting to it and from it is easy (less easy after a few ciders though I found). Excellent atmosphere and service as well - bear in mind it's popular so gets busy and because of its size not always easy to get a seat depending on the time. Highly recommended.

Come here every visit. Great proper Micro, 2 vgn beers tonight and vgn pizzas. Hoorah!

Five cask beers and two keg. Cans. They can order you in pizza as they have menus on the tables. Has plenty of books and board games. Relaxed, friendly and plenty of seating for a small pub.

Small, and well located near the station. Good selection of craft beers and ales including occasional own brews.

This place is simply outstanding. Incredible selection of top quality ales, lager and cider. The staff are very friendly and welcome all dogs too with HOMEMADE TREATS (Mind-blowing I know!).HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!

Love this place, great beer, friendly atmosphere, sensible prices. My train was cancelled for ages, a great excuse to spend an hour at the Watchmakers

Absolutely excellent place, great choice of ales and the Hazelnut / Chocolate Porter brewed on the premises was fantastic. Friendly welcome and really busy - you can book a table which seemed a good idea. 2 minute walk from Hove Station too.

Excellent small brew pub that used to be a shop. Quirky deco, friendly staff and small but quality selection of cask and keg beers.

What an amazing find! Rick is a great host, super entertaining and the story of the pub is so interesting. The beers are fantastic. We tried basically all the menu between the two of us and nothing disappointed. Very glad we found this place and highly recommend.

Such a great find! Amazing, helpful, interesting staff/owners and a really strong line up of beers on cask and keg, cider options, nibbles, no music and games machines, just decent beer and good times!!
