Ladies Mile

You'll find Ladies Mile tucked away on Mackie Avenue, the kind of pub that's been pulling pints for locals long before the rest of Brighton got interested in craft beer and sourdough. It's got that lived-in warmth you're after—sticky floors, worn wood, conversation actually happening at the bar. The real draw is that it feels like your mate's living room, just with better booze and someone cooking proper pub food in the back. Whether you're a regular or wandering down from the Levels, there's no faffing about here.
