The Station

You're in that sweet spot between Hove Park and the seafront, where The Station does the unglamorous work of being a proper neighbourhood pub. It's the kind of place where regulars prop up the bar with their pints, families grab a table for Sunday lunch, and you won't feel weird nursing a drink alone. Greene King's done their thing well here—the beer selection is honest, the food menu covers all the classics without pretending to be something it's not, and there's usually something on the telly if you're here for the match. It's got that lived-in feeling that makes you want to linger.
