Hove Place

A proper neighbourhood local on First Avenue where regulars actually outnumber tourists and the ale selection actually justifies the trip.

You'll find Hove Place tucked away on First Avenue, the kind of pub that feels like it's been doing its thing for years without needing to shout about it. This is where Hove residents come to actually sit down with a pint, not take an Instagram photo of one. The bar's got serious credentials when it comes to craft beer and ales—the sort of place where the staff know what they're talking about and won't try to upsell you something you didn't ask for. It's comfortably worn in, friendly without being forced, and reliably good whether you're popping in for a quick drink or settling in for the evening.
