This cocktail bar takes some hunting out (up some narrow stairs from an inconspicuous door on the street) but when you get up there it's a real find. Delicious cocktails served by really friendly, unpretentious staff. It gets quite busy at the weekends but there's usually more space (and often a DJ) in the two bars at the back - they're for members only but you can call in advance for free entry or sign up online for free membership. Try the Marylebone mojito - it's out of this world.

Massive selection of Belgian beer in bottles and on tap. The food here is excellent, restaurant quality but in a pub, a 'proper' pub at that. This is NOT a bar. Oh, and it has bands/musicians!

Probably the best kept Harveys in Brighton. Classic unspoilt pub. Friendly staff.

This is the kind of bar you find on holiday. It's friendly, plays great music, and is refreshingly un-designer-y. Hector the owner is a genuine Cuban and is always happy to have a chat. It's Hector, and the cool vibe, and the rum-based cocktails that really make it a great place to start or end an evening. The best mojito this side of Habana!

Small pub just at the back of Western Road, with the perfect sun-trap outside (catch the last rays of the day). Good, inexpensive pub grub and a really nice feel.

Great place to visit on a sunny day as you can look over the harbour and there is a great selection of bars & restaurants (tends to be the chains).

A ridiculously tiny pub that's the home of the Kemptown Brewery. The walls are covered with old newspapers and the beer's terrific. Not only their own beers but other great stuff too; this is where I first sampled Tanglefoot, and I'll never forget it.
