Railway Bell in Brighton and Hove - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

There are more iconic pubs in Brighton let's be honest but tbf for a cheap and more than reasonable pint with screens galore for footie and other sport this close to the station haunt is absolutely fine.

Worst security at the door. Resolve security. Unprofessional and inappropriate to females.

Nice place to drink. Staff are really friendly

Nice little stop off. Busy. Great atmosphere. Very friendly staff.

I just wanted to leave a review for this place because honestly is the best pub in Brighton. The new owner has really changed the place around to such an inclusive environment. I went for a drink last night before getting the train. I was served by this lovely young lady she was extremely polite and accommodating. Asked me how my day was and if I needed anything else. Not only the prices are good but the general pub is very welcoming. I have come in here before but I’d honestly keep coming back and letting people know to start drinking in there. Only thing I would say is there needs to be system to tip on card the girl I was served by was amazing but she didn’t want a drink but I just wanted to give her a tip for her service. Thank you guys at the railway bell

Lovley welcoming Pub. Conveniently Close to the railway station

Very friendly owner. Very at ease. Drinks cold.

Their atmosphere is worst but quite chill 😂 They are not that kind & professional but not rude! Okay

An awful place. Antisemite Jew haters who refuse you to be served because you are Jewish. Honestly, a nasty little Cabal of people who deserve to be FIRED. This isn’t a pub, just a stupid establishment that hopes to bring in punters. Not on my watch you nasty little ANTISEMITES.

right by the station, great barman, and VERY reasonable prices. What's not to like.

Excellent live music when I went. Lovely bar staff and drinks. Lively, bustling and fun place.

Great place for meeting people coming to town from the station or buses

Great bar Very useful as it is next to the bus stop Good wine and inexpensive

Would be more stars but the attitude of a female bar staff pissedme off. Said we could not drink at the bar but was no seat inside or outside available

Great pub by the station. Excellent prices.

Friendly pub, right by the Brighton train station, and reasonable price on drinks i

Old school boozer next to the station. Great prices and friendly. Music is good too. Nice spot.

We found ourselves stranded on match day because of trespassers on the train line and were not given a warm welcome. A young lad( not drinking alcohol)was told to leave as under 18. Bearing in mind ,nowhere else to go. There was 3 staff members one of whom was rude. The other 2 were very accommodating. It was only because it was close to station and we were awaiting the line to open otherwise we would not stayed

Comfy old-man boozer, friendly staff, with a pretty cracking soundtrack (Northern Soul, Mod classics) - very decently priced too (£5.90 for Guinness, glass of Tonic and crisps). Lovely 😎👍

I have to say that this place is my favourite in Brighton! Not only because its cheap, but the Bar staff service is amazing and they are all really nice to me and my friends every time we go for drinks. The music is always really good too and i love the upstairs bit a lot.

We had a few drinks here on Sunday (11 June) and the bartender was so friendly and had great chat. Thanks from all of us for a lovely time!

Nice and convenient place for travellers

I'm disabled and it's a bit of a rough pub I'd say. Let me tell you this, the bouncers and the staff, these guys are so friendly and always cheerful, if you're decent they will go out of their way to make your stay as pleasant as possible. I'd like to say a HUGE thank you to AL, a bouncer who saw me outside waiting for a bus and brought me a glass of water. You don't get this kind of chivalry very often. Thank you guys keep it rock'n' rollin!

Staff was friendly. My Fullers London Pride tasted a wee bit flat. Drank Guiness the rest of the night.

Gotta be the worst beer selection I’ve seen for a long time.

Couldn't believe how cheap the drinks were. The place was clean and tidy and friendly

Nice pub close to station. Friendly staff.

Popped in here on a Friday lunchtime and it's a lovely pub and very good value

Visited The Railway Bell earlier after a journey to Brighton by rail with my wife. Truly obnoxious barman declared we must be alcoholic or craving coffee. Waited for the twisted sense of humour. It wasn’t there. He was having a bad day and he projected it onto us.

£4 a pint of Stella right outside of the station

Rude and obnoxious female door staff, I thought they had to be professional, instead escalated situation and enjoyed doing so. Avoid like the Plague.

Always liked this pub, it's proper pub with friendly staff and good priced beer

Very pleasant. Friendly staff and good beer.

Had a nice afternoon here with friends straight off the Train. Lots of TVs to watch the World cup.

£3.40 for a pint of coors, a lively atmosphere for football with an eclectic mix of people. Can’t argue with that can you 🤷‍♂️

Great pub friendly staff cheap drinks and a pool table

😡😡DO NOT WORK FOR THIS MAN!!😡😡 HE DOESNT PAY YOU WHAT YOU ARE OWED!🤬

Went for a day out at brighton with my sisters and we stopped off for a drink while waiting for our train and where to start... This pub dirty aand terrible service. The drinks might be cheap but wow this place is understaffed and the Australian man behind the bar is rude and obnoxious! Flys and a smell around the whole pub and disgusting toilets. Sticky tables dirty glasses... I asked for a gin and tonic in a short glass and I got a rude shocking response from the bar man....i notice he .treats his staff terribly big no no!!!

Good pub,good price's,friendly atmosphere

One of the fruit machines owed me 70 pounds because of an error I left my details with the barmaid when I didn’t hear anything back I went in there… I asked the manager about it he claimed to know nothing about it I’m quite sure either him or the barmaid stole the money… cheers

Great Beer great sports lovely staff

Stopped for a drink before catching a train. Prices were great for 3 beers

Bar staffs attitude rude!.. tall guy with long blonde hair said his name was Joe.. he completely ignored me and 1 other person came in he saw us.. finished serving then said who's next "? And went to a guy that just walked up to the bar served him then left the bar while we're still waiting and completely ignored our presence. A lady then came down with clean glasses and served us but u think that was completely ruddle as I work in customer services also!!

Appena fuori la stazione di Brighton. Se sei appena arrivato o stai per partire questo è il tuo pub

Nice pub near the station, nice barmaid and friendly place.

Dirty glasses, abuse and assault from the barman, get rid of him! I like craft union pubs ,but will I venture into this one again, NEVER!!! Throughly disappointed and I know that they can do better, if I could give NO STARS I WOULD

Not as good as it used to be good staff Not so good beer

I have booked a place for 3 people on Tuesday evening at 8pm at the Canterbury Bell should be a nice evening the food is good.

Fantastic proper boozer. Sports well priced drinks and decent atmosphere. All you need really

Nice boozer right by Brighton railway station

Good place for beer and sports and good prices. Slightly more expensive at weekends but still reasonable compared to prices in other pubs around it

First time visit, had an hour to kill at lunchtime with wife. Several wooden bench / table combos outside, so took one of those. Sadly, they were right next to bus stop canopy but at least we were outside on a sunny day. Just over £8.50 for decent pint Guinness and double Bacardi with splash of coke. All the real ales were off, cleaning the lines or something perhaps. Big, well looked after interior with lots of large screen TVs, for sport I guess. Decent looking pool table in raised section towards the back. Felt welcoming and we'd be happy to return.

A handy place to stop for a pint if your waiting for a train in Brighton.

Had a few drinks before getting the train today, it was good to have a nice tasting reasonably priced beer, as we didn’t really find that anywhere else in Brighton. The barmaid was the perfect barmaid, quick to serve customers and a friendly word for everyone.

A good pub to have a quick pint before catching the train home. Busy place, but service good and quick.

The place was a good old local pub great staff and extremely good prices. Love it

Friendly bar staff, good prices, lots of screens to watch sport

Fantastic night.. a big thanks to Josh the barman. Great atmosphere.. Great pub.. great music.. fantastic service. Hope to be back tomorrow night 😁

A blast from the past, used to drink in there 20 years ago as an underage 16 year old. Decor is better now and they also had a live singer who did a great job

Great pub to watch Football, next to the train station is useful as well.

Visited a couple of times April/May time. Friendly staff, reasonable prices for a student budget(!).

Lovely staff, great atmosphere and reasonably priced drinks.

Nice enough pub, no frills, you're there to drink aren't you?

Lovely pub,good ambience. Bartender J is really sweet and the owner a really nice guy...

Good prices and shows all football/sports on big screens

Terrific beer. Friendly staff and landlord. I cannot recommend this pub too highly.

Very friendly staff member. A nice clean warm pub.

Very helpful and very friendly service

Had to wait for my train so popped in for a quick pint, lovely pub , great selection of beer and a good atmosphere

Prices are very good and good service

Really rude staff! Usually a nice pub to come to but came in on Halloween evening and remarked to the bartender that he looked like the wrestler The Undertaker (thinking it was a costume) to which he replied "and you look like diabetes on legs" (because I'm a big guy). It was a very unprofessional and personal attack which really spoilt my evening.

Only been here once, but it was a nice visit. Not many beers were available, but it was early in the day. Staff were excellent.

Guinness at 3/50 a pint what more can you say for Brighton

Literally wish I could leave 0 stars. Tried to come Here to watch the PSG v MCI game with my boyfriend and were refused service ask me why? We hadn’t even been in the pub for 2 minutes but I guess the colour of our skin infuriated the bartender. He tried to say it was because we are here for the Labour Party conference, and the pub doesn’t serve people with political affiliation, but 2 nights ago countless white Labour Party attendees were at this same bar for the Anthony Joshua fight. Honestly thought the world was evolving to a more equal and fair place, very saddened to see things like this still happen.

Lovely pub great staff. Beer prices so reasonable

Excellent pub. Close to station. Friendly. Drinks sensibly priced Monday to Friday. Good selection of draft beers.

Absolutely fabulous place we both enjoyed the banter with the locals will definitely be back next time we are in Brighton beer was lovely

Quick service and a good selection of drinks.

Love the pub prices are great staff excellent

Great atmosphere for the footy, and very good prices

I recently visited the railway bell pub and found it to be quite inviting as the recently refurbishment has made a big difference to its appearance. At the time when I visited, it was mid afternoon so was queit just a few customers. There was only one member of staff who just happened to be the pubs manager who came across as quite friendly and helpful. The bar prices are very affordable as I paid just £2.30 for a pint of John smiths bitter which I think is cheaper than weatherspoons. There was sport on the TVs so great if your a sports fan. So in all I would recommend you pop in if your ever up by the train station.

The guy behind the bar was extremely rude. No fruit with the drinks, no straws - very unhelpful with mean attitude.

Maybe not the best time to go following the Euros football

Loved this pub, very friendly, fast service and good beer.

Great service, good selection of beers, ciders and spirits. No malibu or tea and coffees available unfortunately 😔

Friendly staff and nice selection of drinks. Right by station too so very handy.

Great service, cheap drinks live sports

Met friends from work good service great atmosphere with the football being on

Fantastic bar , friendly staff & management.very covid secure , brilliant choices , sports TV .very good bar prices..will visit again soon ..

Nice pub good friendly staff reasonable prices and great transport connections

Such a warm and friendly place.

Shocking bullying from two so called security staff - swore at and threatened me for moving a chair. DO NOT USE THIS ESTABLISHMENT

Great prices, lovely staff. Excellent suntrap roof garden too. Best pub at the station for value , by far !

To much change for good or bad don't know since reopening toilet smell gone paint smell now in my opinion like walking into someone's lounge anyway hope it works for them

Not a bad place for a drink after work and close to train station and bus stops

Friendly staff good atmosphere enjoyed the time there

Good location close to the train station

A good football pub with an upstairs smoking terrace, nice staff and a good atmosphere.

Proper local for proper locals. Handily positioned by bus stop so if yours isn't due for a bit on a cold evening, pop in for a pint. Relaxed

A typical pup located directly at the Brighton station. Limited selection of beer but huge screens with sports streams.
