The French Horn

Walk into The French Horn and you'll clock it immediately—this is the kind of pub that doesn't need to try too hard. Tucked away on Dyke Road in that part of Brighton where actual people live (not just tourists), it's got the vibe of a place where regulars have their spots and the staff remembers your order. The kind of boozer where you can nurse a pint, grab decent pub grub, and overhear genuinely interesting conversations between locals. It's unpretentious in the best possible way, the sort of spot you stumble into on a Sunday afternoon and suddenly two hours have vanished.
