Argyle Arms in Brighton and Hove

Love this place! Such a lovely and warm atmosphere with friendly staff and an awesome menu. This is my new favourite spot in Brighton! :)

Great pub with excellent beer and very friendly staff.

Friendly locals pub. Dogs welcome.

Despite being off the beaten track, this pub is worth taking a trip to. It has a great choice of drinks, fun and friendly atmosphere.

Have been eyeing up the BBQ food offering here for a while and it did not disappoint. It felt like a rare find and do not come across good quality smoked meat places. We went for one of the platters with brisket, burnt ends, ribs & chicken wings. It was all superbly cooked - beautiful melt in the mouth textures. The fried chicken wings were a perfect contrast. The staff were all so friendly, I will definitely be back and highly recommend!

The food was delicious and the staff really friendly, love the place and will definitely be eating there again

A gem of a pub not too far from Brighton Station, tucked away nicely from the hub bub and rowdiness of the town centre. The bar staff were really friendly and helpful and the pub is quiet enough to hear people speaking (but not totally silent), which is a rarity these days! Music is played, however it is at a low level so as not to be distracting. There is seating outside the front for those who want to sit al fresco or those that want to smoke. Really lovely pub with two bar areas/adequate space, go check it out if you're ever in the area.

Had the best Smoked Beef Rib with Burnt Mash Potatoe

Awesome food and really lovely and friendly staff. Went today for the ‘Big smoke’ platter and OMG!! Soo lovely and tasty !! Very quirky pub too will defo return.

Found this hidden away gem on pride day. Would have rather have stayed here than gone to park! Great little pub... Friendly fun staff. Will visit again

Beef brisket nachos are incredible! Only negative is that we didn't realise you have to book in advance for their smoked platters, but will do that next time and be back!

Great pub with very attentive staff when dining. I went there for the bbq food and wasn’t disappointed. Highly recommended.

the big smoke platter was fantastic

Amazing chicken wings & FANTASTIC staff, will deffo come back ❤️

We had an amazing brisket. Staff is really friendly, great atmosfere. Stayed just for food.

The restaurant is a bit away from the city center and seafront, but still easily accessible. You can sit outside or inside. The interior is small, cozy, with charm. The staff is very nice and friendly and helpful. The food is freshly prepared and very tasty. We had the ribs (just great) and the piggy stack (also delicious). The prices are right for the amount of food. A visit is very worthwhile.

Amazing food and the service was impeccable. Well done Andrew

Food was incredible, Andrew’s service was top notch and all the staff was so friendly. 10/10 would recommend to everyone. BBQ food was 10/10

I didn't eat because it was late. Five stars is for the bar staff....Great pub, great staff and I'll be returning!

Nice pub, friendly staff and good beer

Cute neighbourhood pub, delicious food, wonderful service and great drinks! Recommended to many of my friends :)

delicious food and great customer service! the bartender andrew was very nice :)

Food here is fantastic, beer is cold, service is friendly, prices are reasonable. Can't recommend it enough. Shout out to Andrew, very friendly and great service.

Cute and quaint neighbourhood pub with great cocktails, the food looked unreal - will definitely be coming to try it soon! Got a jungle juice cocktail made by Andrew and it was delicious & he provided great service!

Nice pub, good selection of beers, we didn't eat as it was fully booked on a Sunday afternoon ( food looked good ) Friendly staff. We will be back for the food & a beer or two.😉

Great service from Andrew, will be back again for sure!

We really enjoyed our Sunday meal on father's day. Delicious food at a good price and every member of staff was so helpful and friendly. Thank you for making us feel welcome and comfortable.

Friendly local pub with an alright beer selection. Outside area that catches the sun and a good vibe makes this well worth a visit.

Review is for a drink here, didnt stay overnight. Lovely quirky smaller tucked away pub. Nice quiet outside seats. We were passing though on a walk and wish had more time for a few more here, lucky locals!

I pop in occasionally for a beer when I have some spare time before my train. Nice traditional pub. Outside seating is good when it's warm and sunny. The only downside is finding somewhere to lock a bike up outside. Edit: Harvey's best has gone up 10p.

Nice out of the way boozer. A traditional pub with a small bar and friendly staff.

We got the big smokes sharing platter. Was very good! A massive munch and definitely worth the money. The burnt brisket ends were *chefs kiss*. The garlic sausage was super flavourful. All the food tasted amazing. Definitely wouldn’t recommend getting sides if you get this as it’s really filling. Will get this again for sure.

It's a good location, almost underneath the viaduct but not, once a pokey backstreet local but now a lot cleaner, lighter, friendlier and smilier food and drink destination venue not so much hidden, just tucked away.

Really friendly, polite, helpful staff. Nice cold drinks. Amazing food.

Great friendly staff and service. Went for the BBQ food. Was really good and worth a try. Would score a firm 7/10!

This is just an incredible pub in every way. It has a fabulous atmosphere along with fantastic staff. The food is absolutely incredible!!

Booked a family meal for a birthday .First, they got the numbers wrong , and then they expected 9 of us to sit on 2 sofas around a coffee table to eat ,when we explained our 82 year old nan wouldn't be be able to do this a member of of staff was rude ,obnoxious and completely unhelpful. She also told the manager in front of us that she thinks we should leave ! This pub doesn't look like it can cater to groups but is not mentioned at all . Parking like the service is terrible. I wouldn't give any stars, but you have to

This place has been transformed. Food, service and the drink are all brilliant.

Great food, and staff were really friendly and attentive.

I’m not one to write reviews but the Texas brisket and buffalo chicken wings were exactly what I hoped they’d be! I’m a big hot sauce fan and that buffalo sauce is the best thing I’ve ever had. They really need to put it in the shops are sell bottles at the pub. My new go to food night out. Well done guys.

The best food in Bton hands down. Great pub and great atmosphere.

Had a lovely experience. Nice margaritas and friendly staff. Will be back!

Visiting this pub we chose a table. Was told it was reserved, fair enough was showed another table. By the time we had gone to the bar a rude member of staff told us that our second was also reserved. When I said why did the first person tell us that the table was free she started arguing that te First Lady meant a table in the front bar. So we were shown a table that someone was already sitting at with the waitress say oh they are only drinking so I will move them! Not wanting to feel awkward we politely said that is ok and where is the next pub with that the waitress started to get annoyed to the extent that she followed us out the door shout something like I hope you get wet as it was raining. Maybe she was having a bad day but we would not recommend this pub and will not be going anywhere near it in the future. Leave it up to the reader to make up their own mind Thank you for your very unprofessional reply and your very personal comments. It just seems to underline my review and people should avoid your “Back Street Boozer” and use one of the 299 other pubs in Brighton. The fact that you think it is acceptable to follow someone out of your pub . Shouting at them just shows that maybe you are in the wrong job.

Phenomenal food, perfect atmosphere on a Sunday lunch, owners and staff are so nice! This is my nee favourite place in Brighton!

Caring, attentive staff. Really good food.

A quirky little backstreet pub. Friendly bar staff. Slightly annoying pitch penny thing. Otherwise a good place for a low-key drink or three.

Dog friendly great staff food was excellent

Great little find, really friendly staff, great food and good service 😀

I am replying to Juliette...you are correct I did not use rooms but it was tricky giving 0/5. Don't know what to do?? As for the service it was lovely. I was there on Sat evening 3 Feb.. Atmosphere was really good but I did have to wait circa 45min for 2 portions of chips. I will definitely be back!!

Proper pub in a classic location, great place to meet new people and catch up with old friends

A real hidden gem of a pub, well kept beer, spacious but not noisy. Friendly and comfortable.

Lovely bar staff, and the Sheffield is gorgeous and extremely talented!! Good beer too.

As always an absolutely amazing night out , went for my beautiful ladies 50th birthday , amazing food , fantastic atmosphere and incredible service as always , lovely night out and we will be back soon for my 50th ,

Un accueil très chaleureux. Le décor très atypique est un régal pour les yeux. On s'y sent tout de suite comme à la maison. Les bières proposées sont très bonnes et pour tous les goûts. Côté couchage, le matelas était très confortable. La chambre également. Les hôtes ont été très sympathiques. Je reviendrai ici lors de mon prochain passage à Brighton. Je recommande vivement. Merci pour cette adresse.

Proche de la gare de Brighton, des bonnes bières à des prix attractifs, de la nourriture de qualité ( les nachos et les travers de porc sont divins ) et une ambiance conviviale qui ravira tous le monde ! Les gérants et le staff sont supers sympas et vraiment à l’écoute Clairement une adresse à visiter et retenir !

Bonjour, nous avons passé avec mes amis un moment agréable ! Les boissons servis sont diversifiés et la nourriture est excellente et de grande qualité. L’accueil des propriétaires a été parfait. Je recommande chaudement nous reviendrons. Merci !

We came here for their special Thanksgiving Dinner. We were not quite sure what to expect from pub thanksgiving food, but the chef did an incredible job. Everything was delicious and very authentic for an American thanksgiving. Portions were generous and we couldnt finish everything. It was so fantastic we will be back to try the barbecue.

Amazing friendly pub with decent beers, clean toilets, good food, nice patrons and awesome bar staff. Chill vibe, good music through speakers, quiet and not full of students. Nice place to meet friends and chill after work. Speaker volume not excessive. Cozy snug pub. Well kept ale Would recommend.

Great pub with different room areas and lovely atmosphere!

With new operators, the pub has been given a new life and for the better! Strong food offer, and vibey spaces.... However!! a rude, angry and belligerent (particular) member of kitchen team! I raised my concern about how significantly smaller my Dino-rib was. It as really was less than a finger thickness piece of meat on half of a 10 inch rib which for £23.50 left something to be desired! (3 other of my party had actually commented on the portion size of the veggie dish and the inconsistency of the Dino-ribs) Anyway so having mentioned this I was immediately interrupted. I was argued with profusely, claiming I was wrong, and told to consider how they are to make money? I was even lectured on the anatomy of a cow. I've been in hospitality for 15 years to a high level and I was simply raising fair points. Instead I was met with an obtuse and condescending member of staff who in the end walked away from me! Utterly shocked and horrified someone thinks this is an effective approach to conflict resolution? Getting defensive suggests there was some truth in my comments.... I should add, the issue was rectified by simply offering me a refund and kicking me out. Ruined my whole evening with my friends, and I went home hungry and unsatisfied. Is satisfaction not the primary aim of the guest experience? From what I can see all previous negative reviews are courtesy of this particular woman...one even referring to a confrontation with her own staff.

This is my new local. It's not just a local though. What an amazing place. Quiet, warm and friendly. The food is incredible. The service is incredible. Thanks chef/ manager/ and everything else you do! Lovely to meet you and all the staff.

Visited this place on a Saturday afternoon for the food. Had seen it and it looked delicious, and it WAS. Between two of us we shared the brisket nachos and a portion of 3 ribs. Definitely filled us up. The ribs were liti falling of the bone, melt in the mouth and the nachos were a good portion and pretty sure the actual chip were home made as well. Super Friendly staff and nice cozy little pub. Definitely would go again.

Fantastic! Not only does it fill the hole left by the loss of BBQ Shack, but I'd be as bold as to say it's better! The brisket and burnt ends were phenomenal, as were the ribs. The wings were good, but if you're after wings, go to Alberta's at The Windmill. Get involved

Easily the nicest meat I have ever had! Excellent all around service and helped with my allergies (Gluten and Dairy) and I was brought individual portions to cater for this. 10/10!

A delightful pub with lots of character. Run by a nice couple. Excellent breakfast if you're staying in a room. Would certainly visit again.

Nice pub, but food prices were shocking, paid £12 for half a roasted aubergine, which came with out any sides. Had to pay a further £3.95 for chips which came out as a very small serving. Overall it was very disappointing.

A wonderful local pub, friendly and in worth a visit .

Came here after a rough visit more than a year ago, it"s now a lovely pub with friendly staff! Excellent stuff

Great pub, fixed up and is a class night out. Very happy to call it my local. Could do with a decent pub quiz though! Will be coming back all the time x

Best pint of Harvey's in Brighton!

One of the best pubs in Brighton, burgers and drinks perfect, must go

Best burger I've had in a long time, fantastic Old Fashioneds, can't recommend enough!

Very friendly, welcoming pub. Excellent comfort food, beers and games.

We happened upon this lovely pub by chance. What a lovely find! Great food , we went back the following night for more. Amazing burgers and a great selection of drinks.

Lovely pub which can catch the sunshine in the evening. Very friendly staff, small selection of beers.

Started off as a nice experience in the pub, the girls behind that bar were lovely and served great drinks. Later that evening clearly there was some commotion between one of girls and manager/ maybe owner… the poor girl that had served me was crying and looking scared and just not ok while this woman was shouting an screaming at her. The pub is a nice local in brighton but clearly ran by horrible bullies who are just vile to the staff and clearly have no care for the staff wellbeing. DEFINITELY WILL NEVER BE BACK AND I HOPE THAT POOR GIRL RESIGNS

Lovely little local pub and very friendly owners, if you’re lucky you might even get to meet their gorgeous dog! Despite living in the area for several years the old Argyle was never appealing and the change in the place is amazing and goes to show how hard the owners Nick and Juliette have worked to build the place up again. Great selection of drinks and food and friendly atmosphere!

Pre booked for table 6 told them it was for my daughters 21, thought they would of done something special . A little Bit icecream with a candle or free drink or something. But nothing ! All food served on wooden chopping boards why ? Most of us were disappointed with the main meals all a bit blaned. Garlic bread very dry . Waiter very pleasant . We all decided not to bother with desserts. Not a great choice I'm afraid, should of gone somewhere else .

This place is full of Chinese ex-pats and students. It offers a very large menu and is very well priced. Really enjoyed the food and the service was great

I eat the re quite regularly and recently ordered a steak it was served on a piece of wood! What's wrongful with crockery? It's mor hygiene and not so naff!

It as pretty quiet when we went in here and it didn't have much atmosphere so I wasn't sure if we should stay but I'm glad we did. We picked a spicy prawn dish, a beef in five spice and so e dumplings in chilli oil. All were delicious but the stand out dish was the chilli oil dumplings which were sensational. I got chatting to the owner, asking for the recipe, and we talked about a visit I had made to China. As we were leaving he came running out after me to give me a can of special Chinese pearl tea which was lovely of him :-)

This pubs is so much nicer since it was taken over a few years ago. Lovely owners, decent beer selection. Comfy seats and sofas. Clean and tidy. Teles for football or rugby. A few tables outside.

Simply excellent! Lovely landlady/landlord & gorgeous dog, good beer & special food! The meat & cheese board together with vegetarian equivalent made for a good celebratory night out! Thank you to all the staff 👏👏👏😃😃

Very wholesome and friendly staff, price is more than reasonable and the vibe is immaculate, will absolutely recommend!!!

A great place to enjoy a pint with a friend. The staff are amazing as well. +The mulled wine is awesome.

Great pub, slightly off the beaten track. Lovely dog called Margy and make sure you have a little drop of Tuaca if you want some guaranteed memory loss. Will be going back for sure 👌

treats dogs with the love and reverance they deserve

Lovely refurb and good choice of beers. Also have the particularly Sussex toad game which is great!

wonderful vegan tapas! honestly one for the books!!! very lovely staff, lovely atmosphere and obviously FOOD!! would recommend!

Definitely some of the best vegan food in Brighton, and the loveliest staff!!! Thank u guys :))

Could do with more staff for a Saturday night.

Quality little backstreet boozer. Two bar areas, with tables out front on the quiet road and a small terrace round the back. Very friendly staff and though we didn't try the food the menu looked thoroughly decent

We were in Brighton for the weekend and booked a table here as it was near where we were staying- so glad we did. Very welcoming, lovely cosy pub with fantastic food.

It is a nice place with nice beer. However, it took us almost half an hour to find out that the kitchen was closed. When we first asked for service they didn't mention it, only told us to wait as they were busy. That was a bit disappointing

Brilliant pub, lovely staff. Worth a visit if you're in the area.

Sehr nett, der Pub um die Ecke, zum wohlfühlen

Lovely staff and great selection of beers

I’ve lived opposite this pub for a year now and it’s a lovely environment. great drinks, kind owners and a great pub dog! they do really good student deals and the atmosphere is so relaxing and welcoming. the decor is really warm and homely and a lot of thought and effort has gone into the vibe! they’re great neighbour’s and make sure their pub is a safe environment. Really appreciate having this place near by!

who would have ever thought that a small normal boozer would create the best cocktails in town and the food is also wonderful as are all staff and the pub dog.

Total hidden gem! Juliette and Nick have created the most lovely pub with such a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere! 100% worth a visit for a drink and food - the food is next level. Very lucky to be able to call this our local! ❤️
