Seven Stars in Brighton and Hove

Went to seven stars yesterday for a roast lunch and absolutely loved it there! The staff were so kind and helpful, each one of them made the atmosphere in the pub a welcoming, fun, enjoyable place to hang out, whether it’s for a meal or drinks. Will definitely be going back!

The best pub in Brighton, beautiful building with friendly staff and a wide range of drink selections. Highly recommend

One of my favourite bars in Brighton, great veggie menu 🤤 lovely atmosphere and terrific staff

Visited 10/12, we prepaid £180 for a Christmas dinner at 6pm. Went to order a coke and was asked for ID and told we had to leave by 7pm without it. The staff member (blonde woman with hoop earrings) was rude and had an attitude even before interacting with us. We were even told that the person without ID should go home, get it, and come back — completely unreasonable. Nowhere did it say we all had to bring ID for a dinner, especially when not ordering alcohol. We asked for a refund and said we would leave, but another staff member called a manager, who eventually extended the time we were “allowed” to be there. Alternatively, they expected the person without ID to leave. The experience was awful and that staff members service was appalling. We were made to feel unwelcome and will not be returning.

Busy city centre pub with a decent beer selection. It's not cheap but central Brighton isn't either. Food looked good but I didn't try. Worth a visit if in the area.

My sister and I made a pilgrimage here from the U.S., as our 3rd great grandparents ran the pub about 200 years ago. We happened in on a Sunday afternoon and enjoyed the Sunday roast along with l excellent service. Everything was delicious and top notch. On learning of our presence, the manager came and welcomed us. Thanks for everything, Seven Stars!

We attended the Seven Stars on the 03/11/24 at 18:45. We checked before hand if we could come in with our little boy (4 months at the time). We knew before we asked we would have to leave by 7, before we asked and we had dinner booked at 7 at the Ivy Asia. The looks we got from the staff made us feel so uncomfortable. I don’t drink because I am breastfeeding my little boy and it was our anniversary, so we wanted to celebrate, but I was not ready to leave him with anyone. He’s a chilled baby. Rarely cries. But we were stared at the whole time we were in there by the staff. We obviously left by 7 like we said we would, but we felt so unwelcome! We have lived in Brighton all of our life and regularly attend this pub. Will avoid it next time. Not nice being judged by strangers.

Came for some lunch. Whole place is decorated really well, decent enough bar area. Competitively priced for the area it's in. My only gripe was the BLT being served with salad bag rather than lettuce. Not really a BLT...

Always a great pub...one of my Brighton favourites

Had our anniversary dinner here and everything was all nice. Foodwise, we were satisfied with our orders. We ordered chicken roast and braised pork belly roast. The staff accommodated our last minute reservation. Disappointed where they reserved our table initially but we were transferred to a better one after. We had our drinks too and we were delighted they had Blue Moon. Our experience overall was great. We would come back here again.

Gorgeous atmosphere, gorgeous staff. Definitely one of my favourite spots! A must visit for any Brighton bar crawl or dreamy date night! Delectable food, (especially their veggie and vegan range!), terrific drink options and outstanding above-and-beyond service! Love The Seven Stars! x

Such a great time at this pub. Had a lovely fish and chips and then stayed on for drinks. They had an excellent DJ on in the evening and staff were great. Really helpful and friendly. Highly recommended.

The table next to us had roaches in their food. They spoke to the manager and left immediately. Really disgusting as we'd just eaten.

Really lovely pub, great decor, good prices for Brighton

V busy and lively; not a place for a quiet pint!

Nice venue in the centre of Brighton

Good place if you want a quiet drink on a week night, becomes a different story on the weekends - can be a good location. Good atmosphere for a grouo

I did write a review but it was removed. We had terrible service here by a gentleman that was rude throughout us ordering at the bar. He was giving us attitude and made it difficult to Order. Won’t ever come here again. I do not even know how he has a job.

I had some friends in last night who were seeming to enjoy themselves so after work I came by to have a drink and catch up, upon arrival I walked in and went over to their table, when the lady on the bar came over and told me she was going outside for a cigarette (which is fine I’m a waitress and work in hospo too so I completely get having a stressful day and just wanting one) but she proceeded to tell me she will be back in five and can serve me then. Which to be honest with you is really quite ridiculous as it would have taken like one minute to pour a pint. A gentleman who worked there walked in as she was saying this and started saying he could serve me to which she beckoned him outside and they both went outside to smoke leaving what seemed like a completely unmanned pub. Honestly never in my life have I had that happened and I’m really not a fan of reigning down on service workers because I am one and it is tough but honestly I was just so confused by the whole situation and how you can think that is okay? We left without getting a drink.

Boiling hot inside, toilets dirty. Strong smell of disinfectant as you walk in. Funnily enough, a good atmosphere inside!

Loved it! I had the Confit Chicken leg which was cooked to perfection with a beautiful creamy mash, greens and a lovey, rich gravy. The draft craft beer selection has a good choice, I opted for Electric Boogaloo and wasn't disappointed. Comfortable with a lovely atmosphere and friendly staff.

Popped in needed the loo, brought 2pts of coke cola, wish I hadn't, they didn't tell me the price just waved the card machine infront of me and I paid, I was charged £10.00 for 2 pts of cola, the food makes no sense at all. I would avoid this place in future. The light shades are filthy and dust everywhere. The staff are more interested in engaging with each other then really chat to the customers. The toilets well they are that small a toilet just fits in there and you have to climb onto the toilet backwards to have a chance of closing the door. I am not joking. And my partner using the ladies is worse due to the sanitary bin no room whatsoever. Avoid avoid avoid.

My friends enjoyed most of their food but not the Nachos. I had to ask for water, there wasn't anywhere to help yourself. The room with the skylight is very nice, we came early evening when it was quiet.

Really lovely food with a nice variety of veggie/vegan options. Portion sizes were really good.

Nice place and lovely ceiling of hanging plants. I wonder if they are real 🥰

Didn’t eat but came here Saturday of Pride weekend. Very lively, fun crowd dancing and singing to a live DJ. We stayed for a couple of hours people watching and had a great time. Top atmosphere.

Great live jazz on the Sunday we went. Good pint of Madri.

I recently came here for my son’s birthday to get some drinks and food. We went to order at the bar and the gentleman that served us who was tall, tanned, dark hair and wearing a white tank top. was very abrupt and rude to the point I have come out of my way to write a review. He kept very angrily side eyeing us and angrily repeating/questioning our order back to us. We honestly couldn’t work out what we had done. when I looked at my partner to see if he was also feeling the hostile behaviour the bartender saw this and looked as me as if to say “what are we looking at” I explained to him I was just looking at him in disbelief of his attitude. We then placed our order and ate and left. Food was great but terrible terrible attitude from the Barman, probably won’t return.

A fantastic place to stop for a drink very friendly staff.

Only eaten here once, no complaints. Busy bar most weekends, great staff always on the ball. Can get really busy at weekends, great location.

Such a lovely welcoming pub in the centre of Brighton, showing all the Euros matches on big projector screens which was ideal. I just wanted to say a massive massive thank you to a member of your bar staff who was simply incredible at dealing with a customer that made me feel very uncomfortable as a solo female traveller. She was truly remarkable and I hope she knows what a difference our small interaction made to my enjoyment of my solo break in Brighton. You are a star. (She had dark hair and a football shirt on, I hope she knows who she is!! I was watching an England match on Thurs 20th June) Thank you 💓

£5 for a pint of coke , underwhelming portions and the potato’s are so big they’re slightly raw

Busy bar, large selection of beers, hearty food choices.

Be Careful, they refuse to serve the full pint measure when drinking Aspalls cider, stating they have been told not to do so.

Great Sunday roast, there was live jazz. The decor and atmosphere were excellent

We were exploring the lanes area of the city and happened across this traditional pub. We decided to go inside for a drink or two and are glad we did as we had a great time there. It is a down-to-earth place with a nice atmosphere and very friendly service. The bar maid explained the different beers available including some from local breweries which were delicious and varied. it is fairly standard prices for the area but the pub has a lot to offer and we enjoyed taking a couple of stools at the window and watching the town go about its business.

Best pub with very vibrant atmosphere and they have live music as well which is the best part you can have with beer.

Everything you need from a pub. Chilled Sunday evenings with a live jazz band. Raucous Saturday nights where you can rub shoulders with seemingly everyone in town. Plenty of space for large functions but cosy corners for something more intimate. Friendly staff no matter the day. 7/5 Stars!

Good atmosphere with music good food

Lively pub, good range of drinks, lots of staff and live music at the weekend. Will definitely revisit.

Excellent venue, especially as a late night venue! Good atmosphere, good music and friendly staff/bouncers. Had a Sunday roast here as well which was overall really nice.. only downside was the roast potatoes which were a little dry on the inside and not very fluffy. But otherwise was good value for money

Warm friendly welcome on arrival. Good selection of beer/ciders to enjoy in this relaxing bar. Live music on occasion.

Molly and Sabra are the best! absolute gems, thank your for the service, so kind!

We had an absolutely lovely night (as always) at the Seven Stars, Molly and Sabra were amazing especially on their first night and totally smashed it! Thank youuuuu x

Tasty Goulash stew. Helpful staff

Really love visiting this pub when in Brighton. Chilled vibe and fantastic vegan options.

Hosted a networking event here and the staff were excellent and the venue is wonderful

Ended up here by mistake but it's a beaut of a find. Will definitely come back.

Amazing choice of Beers here. Great place ,always a positive Atmos. 🍻👍

We waited a long time for the food to be prepared. The burger patty was very dry.

Surprisingly good food and rest service

Good pub, excellent blue moon on draft

Cozy Ambiance with Quality Dining - A Solid Four-Star Experience I recently visited the Seven Stars Pub and left with mixed yet mostly positive impressions, meriting a solid four-star review. The pub presents a cozy and inviting atmosphere, perfect for evenings out, accompanied by fantastic live music that adds a lively vibe to the dining experience. The quality of the food is undeniable; every dish we ordered was prepared with care and featured high-quality ingredients, showcasing the chef's commitment to offering guests a memorable meal. However, it's worth noting that the portions are on the smaller side relative to the price. While the dishes are delicious, the size may leave something to be desired, especially considering the premium you pay. This aspect might not suit everyone's expectations or appetite, particularly if you're coming in with a hefty hunger. On the brighter side, the live music truly sets Seven Stars Pub apart. The talent and energy of the performers create an engaging and enjoyable environment, making it a great spot for music lovers looking to enjoy a night out with a good vibe. In terms of pricing, expect to pay a bit more than average. The pub positions itself in a higher price bracket, which is reflected in the cost of both food and drinks. While this might deter some, for those who prioritize quality and atmosphere over quantity, it's worth the expense. In conclusion, if you're after a place with excellent live music and quality dining in a cozy setting, Seven Stars Pub is definitely worth a visit. Just be prepared for smaller portions and a higher bill, but for the right occasion, it offers a lovely experience.

Seven Stars kindly set aside the rear section of the pub for me to throw my other half a surprise party for about 50 people. We already love the pub but I have to say how helpful and hospitable they were for us. Everyone was happy with the music, food, drinks and atmosphere and it was the prefect venue for a 40th. They were even happy for me to bring in a token birthday cake. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this pub for a cheeky pint or to hold a celebration.

Had a nice lunch in here on a Sunday. Vegan burger nice and roasts also looked nice.

Sunday roasts was horrendous 😫 riast potatoes were not fluffy inside and still had skin on the gravy was sickly and too rich guessing it wasnt proper gravy and roasted beetroot with red cabbage is a no go . Stop trying to be fancy goid old fashioned roast with normal gravy is the best not red jus. Felt sick for a while after cracking on pork was delicious and meat cooked good.

Great place for a boozy night out, it's young tho, especially in a Saturday night, so lots of egos to deal with. Toilets were a bit grubby by 1900, which is typical for Brighton, but the staff were nice, so four stars for effort. Didn't eat, not sure if they do anything more than a pack of crisps 🤣🤣

Excellent, friendly service, and a bar with a couple of decent IPAs. The one I had was called 'Dreams', I believe, and was pretty dreamy. Also my mate liked the look of the vegan options on the menu but, sadly, she was in Northampton.

This is a fantastic place to chill out in the heart of Brighton. Very highly recommended for the ambience, the staff and the quality of everything they deliver.

If I could give a 10 for each category I would

Nice pub, we reserved tables in the afternoon to say goodbye to some work friends. Good atmosphere but sports screens were on way to loud, staff were friendly drinks average prices for Brighton

Such a lovely interior, there was chilled live music, wasn’t busy. So perfect, will be back

Great pub. Always good songs and great staff. Joosy beer on keg. Love it!!

It's geared towards a very young crowd at the weekend with music so loud you can't hope to have any kind of conversation.

Good night out with colleagues, must be a good place as its hard to get a table. Great atmosphere and good music.

Really yummy Sunday roast and the children's half portion of roast was even big enough for me! It had almost as many scrumptious caramelised vegs, just a bit less meat. Along a very cheesy creamy cauliflower cheese of course. I recommend the pork belly with the weird puffed crackling very crispy indeed. Oh and the decor is amazing plus they have live jazz every Sunday from 4.30pm. What's not to like?

Nice relaxed atmosphere and good selection of drinks, good central location

Lovely art deco interior at back of pub. Nice pub.

Lewis was delightful. He gave such personable service I could have sworn he was a friend!

Big food and drink portions here though mostly a good time to come and have a meal of some sort, looking forward to coming here in the winter months as more stuff to try out.

Very useful area in town to find a meal and drink that is not too far away from the local buses and other things. A good collection of main meals and drinks and helpful waitresses there for stuff to order, not been before however would try again in another season

Beautiful art deco style pub. I've seen it on a Sunday at noon when it's more relaxed and then again on a Saturday night when it's really loud and a bit more hyped up. Not great for a chat with a pal when it's like that to be fair. The Sunday roast looks really good. It's an institution. Just choose your moment.

Very good atmosphere and live music on a Wednesday.

Lovely old pub, managed by Youngs , friendly staff big room .

Lively pub with a good selection of beers. Stays open till late on the weekends.

Great pub went here for a couple of drinks before going to see Richard Ashcroft at the Brighton center. Great selection of drinks. Lovely, funky, decor, and on on a Saturday night that we visited some great tunes, wham, club tropicana followed by fools gold, the stone roses, music for all ages. I'm a young 49 year old, but felt comfortable in this laid back pub. Staff and bouncers were very friendly too. Will definitely go back here when we visit Brighton again.

The service, food and vegan selection is excellent, seitan sandwich was so good! Just the vibe of the place wasn't great, suspiciously dead during a busy Saturday when we visited

Good food and drink. Fantastic bar staff

Nice selection of beers.Laidback relaxing pub.

This use to be a beautiful pub decorated to a high standard in an art deco style. Now it's run down and the furnishing are tired, lots of the original features have gone. Such a shame.

Always enjoy the fish and chips, great food. The pork belly Sunday roast is excellent.

We popped in here for a cheeky little Sunday lunch, and what a great little find. I was surprised this quirky venue wasn't busier than it was... Although our initial greeting was a bit surly, the staff actually turned out to be very friendly. We didn't have to wait ages for our food, and I have to say my Haddock and Chips was delicious. The fries were dusted with a pepper of some sort and were very tasty...the batter on the haddock was crispy and not too soggy at all, very very enjoyable. Oh, and minted peas...what a blast from the past! Girlie went for a hamburger, which was stacked with goodies, and was more than enough for her appetite. The background music was just right, playing some proper mum tunes...not too noisy or intrusive, not too quiet, it suited the atmosphere just right. Why only 4 stars? Well, the duty manager promised to email details of Christmas menus etc for girlies firms Christmas do, and as of yet, nothing has arrived....shame.

Took a while to get quite an expensive cocktail but otherwise nice decor and good atmosphere. Nice touch with the watermelon 🍉

Too expensive, this was the most expensive pub I went in at a weeks holiday in Brighton, and I went in a lot. I don't mind places that are expensive if they offer something special, but nothing special here for me.

Service was great, food was excellent

Lovely roast. Reasonably priced and had vegetarian option for roast also. Had to wait a little while for it to get to the table though.

Great for drinks and live music.

Nice friendly pub, with good service, and good food. I had sausage and mash which was a little on the salty side, but tasted absolutely fine. All on one level so good access children friendly.

Lovely spot for lunch, good burgers, halloumi fries and decent fish and chips. The onion rings were a bit of a disappointment...

Superb decor, clean, toilets decent, lovely food and quality drinks selection, bar staff were welcoming and friendly too

A lovely little pub with a good atmosphere - the live jazz band was a nice touch. We ordered Sunday roasts which were very tasty, but the roast potatoes weren't quite up to scratch.

Vibrant pub with a buzzing atmosphere

Nice enough pub but very slow service from a half-asleep barmaid who forgot my order and then my change.

Love this place. My wife is Vegan and they offer a good range of Vegan options considering they do not advertise it. The food is always amazing and the atmosphere is good. One of my favourite places in the Laines

Nice service , was was good , great seller of veggies too

Polite service and really good food on a busy night (St Patrick's day). Did I mention the food?

Great pub. Great seating options inside and great atmosphere

Fast service, good selection of drinks. Music was good. Accepts hen and stag parties. Toilets were nice.

Always great service from the staff. Lively pub, food looks good.

Really nice pub, good choice of drinks. Only had the loaded fries to eat, but they were fantastic. If you're in Brighton, it's definitely worth stopping in.
