The Duke Of Wellington, Brighton in Brighton and Hove

Went to watch the football, lovely football crowd which was ace. Unfortunately no house red, the alternative being over £20 for 2 glasses which I didn’t know until charged. Complimentary food brought out to everyone apart from us!

Nice friendly place, we didn't eat though but maybe next time.

Laid back pub near railway station

Great pub, came in on the way to town. Excellent range of drinks and one of the best pints of Guinness. Very good staff too.nice Court yard to enjoy the beer, stayed a lot longer than we meant to. Highly recommend.

Dull, smelly, lacking in atmosphere. This company collects and uses customers' email addresses without express permission and then contact you asking for a review.

Pleasant atmosphere and great beer. Friendly bar staff and always a warm welcome. One of the best pubs in Brighton.

Good stuff. Great bloke behind the bar and lovely drinks. And fun customers.

Great pub! great pool table and darts board. well priced! friendly bar staff

Good place...service was perfect

Lovely Pub, thank you Daniel for the good service

Great pub for sports and watching Brighton and Hove Albion football,lots of screens.

terrible pub, poor choice of drinks. the barman should reconsider what career path he’s taken as was very rude, unacommadating and just generally unpleasant. wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone, avoid at all costs.

Busy pub with lots of local crowds. Can get noisy and they don't offer food. Nothing special about it but they do offer live sports on multiple screens. Bro close to the station. Service can be improved a whole lot. It's also a little narrow at points so moving around can be a bit of a pain.

Lovely and welcoming, friendly staff on a Sunday evening as we arrived en masse from the very unfriendly Edinburgh "Eddy" pub next door to watch the Rugby World Cup quarter-final. Thank you! We'll be back. 🤗🤗🤗

A proper pub and a lovely landlady.

Really great pub great service lovely pint.

Love the place! Fun, great service and I played darts :) will definitely return!

Nice drop of Guinness & very friendly staff

nice little pub. good beer&ales.

Went here the other week with a friend to play pool, lovely big space around the table and quite a nice table at that, at somepoint in the evening, I went to go to the loo but as an enby, was scared off a bit, when the bartender then offered me the key for the disabled toilet, saying a trans friend of theirs has it happen too, overall an incredibly friendly pub!

Friendly pub good cider and not plastic

Went there yesterday before the football great little pub 👍🍺⚒️

Cracking little bar, busy during football but nothing like the pubs near the station, outdoor seating and a pool table. Bar staff and Manager are so friendly and welcoming, loos spotless, which makes a change in Brighton!

Really nice pub I used to go in a lot but not so much recently. We were in on a quiz evening highly recommended. The staff were really friendly and it is and always has been a very welcoming place. I'm pretty sure the only major change is that they no longer do food post COVID. It's one of the many good pubs tucked away around the station so really handy when arriving in Brighton. Come out of the front of the station and take a right up the hill at the first junction. About five minutes walk. The quiz was excellent as well.

Lovely pub atmosphere. Friendly staff. Lots of areas to sit and watch sport, and a pool table aswell !!!

Another pub I really liked as it was off the beaten track, lovely atmosphere, good staff, a friendly pub dog which would pop it's head above the bar to say hello and a nice selection of beers.

Good place to watch any sports, nice board game selection and outdoor area

the nicest pub so clean bar staff are super lovely. always host a great quiz or karaoke night! a pub for all different ages. never failed to have a great time!

Pub you can watch sport in. Nothing interesting on tap. Whilst I was in a customer - seemingly high on drugs - headbutted another customer. To be fair, staff dealt with the issue and as they say in their reply, can come with the terrority of pubs etc.

Very friendly staff and accommodated us other choice of Tv viewing

Sitio de bebidas y deportes en televisión. La Guinnes estaba rica

We stayed in the garden area of the pub during our visit, which was pretty relaxing - easy to get a table, TV well positioned for everyone to see, and the drinks are well priced Good place for meeting up with friends for watching football

What a fantastic pub. Staying locally for a few days and decided to pop in for a couple of pints…..super friendly landlady and locals. Great selection of beers available. Lovely and clean, definitely worth a visit. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Nice local has pool darts nice outside garden

Friendly staff Clean pub Welcoming atmosphere Paul and Gabby the landlord and landlady were the perfect hosts Would recommend a visit

It’s a very nice place to spend time and good service, relaxing atmosphere.

Friendly neighbourhood pub. Good big screen, sports watching venue. Reasonably priced drinks. Nice outside area.

Pukka pub. Friendly, can get busy when showing sport's.

This is a small local pub close to the station, very friendly staff

Awesome pub with a th a fantastic friendly atmosphere. We'll worth a visit.

Gabby, Paul and dargah have been a great host, they have made us feel welcome. We are a group of students in brighton looking for a pub to chill and have fun in. They have a pool table and a dart board so there's plenty to keep us entertained. They also have karaoke and quizzes which we can't wait to be part of.

Great little place. Very friendly staff and a good selection of drinks. There's even Birra Moretti on tap! Winning. We enjoyed finishing our night here.

Great place for watching football matches. I loved that they allow you to order or bring in food with you 👍🏻

Great pub, pleasent staff, good selection.

Would highly recommend visiting this lovely pub. Gabby and Paul have only been running the pub for a few months but have clearly settled in very well. They were so approachable and were chatting to us and other customers throughout the day. Sky sports on all day, pool table and great atmosphere. Will defo come back and visit again soon xxx

Very nice pub. Very light. Plenty of seats.pool and darts room with electronic scoring. Outside area and plenty of screens. Beautifully clean and tidy. Close to the station.

Great ambience and wonderful staff

Great spot to watch the Lions win!

Great pub, friendly staff. Good range of beers and a dart board for good measure.

Nice pub, lovely bar staff, really helpful and welcoming! ⭐

Decent pub, but the regulars ruin this place. After booing ‘taking the knee’ at an England match they then spent the remainder of the night threatening and trying to fight everyone else on the garden. I would not have felt safe being there if I was not Caucasian - a sad thing to say for a Brighton pub. I’m appalled they were allowed to stay by the landlord who had to repeatedly ask them to stop threatening / abusing the other patrons. Apparently these ‘people’ are in there every day so beware. A shame as it’s actually a nice pub!

A fantastic place to watch sport, or just to enjoy a drink. The staff were very attentive and went out of their way to make us feel welcome (and COVID safe ). With several big screens, including an outside one , it was a real find for us. Thoroughly recommend The Welly !

Great place to watch sport. Owners are lovely too - we had a great time and will definitely return when we’re next in Brighton.

Really fun staff, great TVS and loved using the pool table and darts board. Met the new owners who have really done a good job with the place!

I visited the duke of Wellington this weekend and it is great! The decor is chic and inviting, pool table and darts, live sports and a great courtyard makes it a great atmosphere to go for a drink with a few mates and have a good night. The new owners, Paul and Gabby are lovely too. Will definitely be coming back :)

Absolutely brilliant little pub, just reopened and the hosts Paul and Gabby were very friendly, had a Sussex Best from Harvey's Brewery. A visit is highly recommended.

It's a lovely, friendly pub, and Kenny the cat is so cute. Paul and Gabby, the landlord and landlady, are really friendly and hospitable, and we had a good chat about football. Would happily go back again. It is on a hill, but I managed it with my walking stick.

Value for money beers and food friendly staff and the landlord is friendly...tge location is truly amazing as it is centralize around shops between city centre and North Lane

Friendly staff and a good selection of beers!

Bon bar pour s'amuser entre amis !

Great atmosphere. Excellent staff. Best pies in town!

Friendly people and cool for football fans!

Nice, but very crowded when we went (5:30 pm on a Saturday)!

Loved it! The long vodkas were exceptionally good supposedly the guy hadn't made them before but they were actually perfect. The chips and cheese were expertly made with cheese layered between the chips. Sometimes it's easy to get stuff wrong but this place gets all the important things 100% correct. We were walking about the area and couldn't give our money away! We were turned away from 3 different places because it was 4pm (2hrs before anywhere local would serve food) and the other pubs were unwelcoming and unhelpful by comparison to this place. Anyway the guy gave us a free snack to feed us til the kitchen opened. Very welcoming and helpful unlike the areas nearby (which I have to say didnt have anyone in them). The people in nearby bars made us feel as welcome as a fart in a space suit. We must have spent well over 100 quid in this place and had other people drinking shots etc. By making the sensible decision to give us a wee snack and be friendly and make drinks they have made life-long, well-paying customers. The folk at the bar could give lessons to the other local areas in how to serve customers and how to make newcomers feel welcome. Away and by far the best pub in the area. Other places may pretent they want customers with their pristine looking exteriors and advertising boards but once you get inside it's obvious the staff dont want to be there and dont want customers, the staff would rather have an easy, quiet day. Probably because it's not their business. This place wants customers, wants to serve people, wants to get the basics right and wants to make money. Which they did. Dont waste your time or money on the other places. Going elsewhere is stupid. This place is where you want to be if you're in the area.

Acogedor, pero no pudimos jugar al pool porque había una reunión de dardos para un equipo del barrio...

Amazing bar! Very friendly helpful staff. Loads of tv's and a proper pool table. Will definitely come here again

Sort of my local, but not quite local if you see what I mean. I play league pool from here due to a lack of tables near to me. 2 pool teams, a number of darts teams, plenty of screens showing current sports events. Good food and friendly atmosphere. Real ales Harvey's, Doombar & Tribute. Recommended.

Very friendly and customer/drinker focused. Fully recommended for sport watching

local only pub nothing special .. loads of better places in brighton

An excellent place to watch live sports with several very bright screens and the volume turned high enough to hear the commentary and crowd noise. Very friendly staff and good beer.

Pool match at The Wellington last night, what a great bunch of people, fantastic staff and food, multi screen sky sports and great hospitality from the Landlord.. Thank you

Great pub, shame about the internet connection!!! Decent pint and good service! Cheers

Lively proper English pub, busy and great atmosphere! Locals & staff are lovely 😊

Great cider and atmosphere!! Lovely staff💛

Really good pub for watching sport and a really friendly landlord and staff. We went to watch the rugby, which was on with the volume in one side of the pub, with silent screens of the footy alongside it. At the other end they had the volume on for the footy. Great selection of beers and good food

Amazing prices with brilliant staffing, landlord and great pub grub. Would recommend to anyone!

First time I've visited this pub. Nice landlord, I will defo give another go 👍👍👍

Great local, food is very reasonably priced. Small beer garden at the rear.

Always loved this locals pub, garden, pool table, darts and AMAZING pie and chips

Nice friendy spacious pub up near train station.

In an age where we are losing some of the sense of community in everyday life, the Duke of Wellington is more than just a pub, it is a great community hub where people from different backgrounds and walks of life can come together and put the world to rights and let their hair down. I have used the pub for the past 20 years and although there have been some cosmetic changes to the pub during that time and a change of ownership, the Duke's great strength is that it has always stayed true to itself and has never had any pretensions to be something that it is not. If you are looking for a gastro-friendly, arthouse pub where parents can mingle over a frothy coffee in a sanitised atmosphere, then there are other places on the manor that will cater for your tastes. For people who want to go and have some drinks in a traditional backstreet pub, however, the Duke ticks all the boxes. It is a pub that reaches far beyond the sum of its parts. Although the Duke continues to cater for its traditional clientele by being a sports orientated pub with a number of screens, including one in its courtyard and also has a pool table, fruit machine and dartboard, it has also tried to cater for other customers in recent years, particularly as a result of its partnership with Sweet who now put on live comedy and cabaret shows throughout the year, not just during the Brighton Fringe Festival which work well in its intimate upstairs venue. In addition, although its food offering is restricted due to small kitchen space, it has started to offer a range of traditional pub grub comfort food options in recent years prepared by its resident cook, Dale. Its pie menu is extensive and I can vouch that the pies are very tasty. The courtyard is a really good space in the summertime where you can just chill out and watch time go by. Although the courtyard offers no particularly attractive views as it is bounded at the back by houses, it nonetheless is a good place to be on a summer's day. Once a month on the last Sunday of the month, the Duke runs a pub quiz which has grown in popularity in the last couple of years and tends to be a lively and enjoyable evening. As well as the main part of the quiz, there is also a Snowball competition that anyone in the pub can take part in. The pub also has a range of board games that people can play and has a newspaper rack where a range of the day's newspapers are available to read. If you are new to the pub and are going there for the first time and you happen to stumble in at a time when there is a live sporting event taking place on television or before a Brighton & Hove Albion match, I can understand how you might find that intimidating. However, my main advice would be to persevere because in truth the Duke is a really welcoming place that is free of aggro where you can make new friends in no time at all. The landlord Bertie and his wife Victoria and all the bar staff are all down to earth and friendly and the way the pub is laid out, it is almost akin to having a drink in your living room.

Loud, greeted by a bunch of angry faces and feels very hostile. Didn't stay for a drink so can't comment on more than atmosphere. Function room upstairs is tiny.

Great if you like loud football and watered down drinks, but otherwise there are plenty of other pubs in Brighton

Really nice pub hidden away , went to the pub to have one drink, saw the terrace and ended up staying there for 5 hours!

Friendly staff and decent priced food and drink.

Lovely pies, even lovely-er staff, great outdoor area and free pool.

Fantastic place, good fair priced Pub grub, And smiling and friendly staff.

Amazing staff, great pool table and darts, the outside area is super quaint and reasonably priced 10/10 would come back!

We come here to watch the sports. Friendly pub and cheap too!

Lovely little boozer. Had a pie and chips and a few beers with one of the locals. Food was great and so was the staff and atmosphere.

Nice pub with a friendly atmosphere

Lovely pub, good food, loads of TV screens
