before...the devil knows you're dead

You'll find yourself on Portland Road in Hove, where before...the devil knows you're dead sits quietly among the independent shops and cafes that make this stretch genuinely worth exploring. It's the kind of place where the wine list doesn't intimidate, the staff actually know what they're talking about, and they're not trying to impress you with anything other than good taste. The vibe is refreshingly low-key—locals cluster at the bar, couples claim corner tables, mates settle in for the evening. This is where you come when you want proper natural wines, honest cooking, and the sort of atmosphere that makes you want to linger longer than planned.
