The Crazy Goose

You'll find The Crazy Goose tucked away on Boyce's Street, just far enough from the North Laine chaos that it feels like your mates' actual local rather than a tourist trap. It's got that lived-in vibe—the kind of place where regulars prop up the bar and the staff genuinely seem pleased to see you, whether you're ordering a pint or settling in for the afternoon. The rating speaks for itself: consistently solid scores from people who aren't easily impressed, which in Brighton means something.
