Seven Stars

Walk down Ship Street towards the seafront and you'll find yourself in exactly the kind of pub that makes Brighton's drinking scene worth talking about. Seven Stars isn't trying to be anything other than what it is: a solid, unpretentious neighbourhood boozer with real ales that rotate properly and staff who actually care about what they're pouring. The ratings speak for themselves—over 1,300 reviews and people keep coming back because it feels genuine. You'll find regulars propping up the bar, tourists who've stumbled onto something real, and conversation that flows as easily as the pints.
