Just down from the Wagon and Horses and the Mash Tun/ corner of New Rd.Yeah, been about 7 years since I drank all over Brighton. Where's black horse?
Yeah, we did a few outside of the City centre and the prices weren't too bad. Hope you have a good trip, in all ways ;-)I think the Temple Bar has live music on all the time. Ive been 3 times and also checked the live webcam and theres always someone performing. I'll be popping in next week en route to Munich but will probably just have the one lol. There are some decent pubs outside the tourist's part and is easier on the wallet lol
I think the worst Manchester City Centre pub for prices a few years ago was the English Lounge. For a regular pub offering nothing special in particular it was ridiculous. Haven't been back since.
Does anyone know if it's still as pricey?

Heart and Hand has an excellent jukebox. Was in Hove recently and gutted the Spoons had closed, was always great to go in and do some people watchingAll the pubs in the North Laine are for the hipsters these days. You're probably thinking of the Heart and Hand.
Black Horse pulls in a very eclectic crowd.

Not been for a while but I can absolutely guarantee it won’t be cheaper than any time in the past.
Probably only one price increase away from paying a fiver for a pint in a city centre Wetherspoons.
I’ve just done a very rough calculation on how much I was paying when I started drinking in the 80s to how much that would be now with inflation. And it would be roughly an average of £1.70 a pint in todays money.
But there doesn’t seem to be any limit to what people will pay. Myself included. The dearest bars in town are generally speaking the most popular. Go to the NQ on Saturday afternoon before the game and they’ll be three deep at the bar in most places all trying to buy beer at £6+ a pint.

I’ve never quite forgiven Brighton for demoting Hereford in 1997. The clubs have taken different pasts since.
I lived in Brighton during the late 70's up until the Mid 80's, as a student at the old Polytechnic to begin with, then stayed there after I graduated and started working in Haywards Heath.
I liked my time there, and have many happy memories.
Back in 2015, City were playing Crystal Palace over the Easter weekend down at Selhurst Park, so I thought it would be nice to visit the place after being away for 30 years, so I bought a ticket and booked a hotel for a couple of nights.
It was an interesting experience in many ways. We lived in Kemp town for a couple of years and it was, in those days, a bit of a down at heel place, but now it's full of window boxes with flowers on show.
It's changed in that regard, but while the buidings have stayed the same and haven't moved, my memory of where they were and how to locate them well and truly deserted me.
I was lost, in a City I knew so well 40 years or so ago, but I did, eventually, find a few old stomping grounds from the past.
The Lord Nelson, The Eagle, and The Basketmakers Arms in the North Lanes took me a while to find, and a pint of Gales HSB was as wonderful as I remembered, but one thing that hadn't changed was the determination from the bar staff you should fuck off as quickly as possible after the last bell had been rung, and it was just as unfriendly as I recalled.
It was quite odd after that, walking back to my hotel and seeing how quiet the place was compared to Manchester when it wasn't that late in the evening.
