The Eagle in Brighton and Hove - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great atmosphere and the best Thai food I’ve ever had.

Came here on a Friday. Was very busy but service was fine. We got a pint and a cocktail. The cocktail was a pronstar martini, which wasn't that great. Better options for pubs around

Popped into The Eagle pub in Brighton to catch a Euro 2024 match, and it was brilliant! The atmosphere was buzzing with footie fans, and the big screen made it feel like we were right there at the stadium. The grub was top-notch; proper pub classics with a bit of a gourmet twist. The fish and chips I had were spot on, best I’ve had in ages. There are plenty of great beers and ales to choose from, too. The staff were lovely and really on the ball, which made the whole experience even better. And, it's pet-friendly, so my dog could join in on the fun. If you’re after a cosy pub with cracking food, a great vibe, and a place to watch the game, The Eagle is the place to be!

Amazing Thai food! Good quality for price, all day service and not much waiting.

Great pub, excellent Thai kitchen. Spice levels bang on, easily matched the food we had in Thailand.

Was served by a really nice fella called Matt, he helped me pick out a nice larger that I loved. He helped me pick out the best curry aswell. Amazing service

Good atmosphere and a great selection of drinks, good place to be on a saturday evening

We came here with a group of friends for a celebration because historically it was a great pub to spend sunny days at. All has changed. Thet served us mouldy soda water which they admitted was stinky once i mentioned it. The food was awful and overpriced-no one enjoyed their meal. Some of the staff were quite rude to us and a friend got locked in the toilet. Overall it was a very disappointing experience. Much better off going accross the road to basket makers as the Eagle has crash landed

Overcharged. Over £30 for three half pints, no response after various emails.

It's ok - it's pretty obvious why the Basket Makers, opposite, was full on a Monday evening and the Eagle much quieter. The Eagle feels like more of a corporate pub - it's got that bland essence to it. Not in a significant way, but like too many Brighton pubs - the same overpriced ales from the same style taps etc. It's fine, elsewhere in the country it'd be great, but in Brighton it feels a touch bland.

Ambience and service is very good

The atmosphere is like a cold wet cloth. But the people make it. I once kissed a long hair bucktooth man here that looked like he was from Hanson. Many people have told me secrets I'd rather forget but then what's memory but a rollerdecks of pondering. I spill my shots, but Jessica said shoot your shot so i did. It's a great place to write a post card to your mum you might send or make a pact with a kind soul. Anyway what am I like I haven't even told you about the staff the do so much with so little and the location is to die for. If you ever find yourself of a Tuesday I recommend anther establishment but for the most part it's a great place to catch up on your coripondense and eat a vegan ham sandwich 🥪 😉

I'm so fed up of paying £18 for a Sunday roast and receiving a kids sized portion, being ripped off just leaves a bad taste in your mouth! Literally our whole group of 11 was still hungry and disappointed with the food here. The taste wasn't bad, it was the pathetic portion that was the problem. Either charge £18 for a huge roast that people struggle to finish or charge £9 for the portion we received. It's an absolute joke. We used to go out almost every week for a roast when it was £10-12 just a couple of years ago and you were stuffed afterwards but now it's more like once every 3-6 months because the prices and tiny portions don't make it enjoyable any more. Seriously just give us 5 or 6 potatoes and we'd be a lot happier, it would cost you about 15p!

Superb place. Re visited today and had some excellent Thai food.

The food was simply amazing. I still dream about the pork belly dish and can’t wait to be back and have it again. Love it

Fantastic Asian food! Definitely one of the better pubs for food, if you can get a table.

So the food is REALLY good! I don't love the seating options though, it can definitely fit a bunch of people but none of the seats are comfortable and everything is so close together you're perpetually sharing your table with a stranger.

Nice pub. Food served pretty late. Clean, spacious, joce crowd. A bit on a pricey side though- pint is about 6-7 quid and bottle of wine is 30.

Amazing Thai food, and always very welcoming staff :)

Friendly staff sorted us stable for two at bust time. Thai food is excellent. Best in Brighton ime . Good drinks choice.

A delicious and good value Thai lunch away from the crowds. Good mulled wine and a good pint, couldn't ask for more. Had the panang pork belly and the prawn rice, very good food indeed! Will definitely stop here again. Thank you!

The tap range, though craft, is mainstream - for example, the guest beers were Lucky Saint (0.5% abv) and Gamma Ray. Though its great to see 'alcohol-free' style beers on tap, £6.50 for a pint seems steep. Food was great though. We both had a Pad Thai which includes Chicken, tofu and prawn as standard - perhaps a little too sweet but very enjoyable. Lots of other Thai options, all of which seems popular with the the Monday evening crowd.

Always a great roast, meats are good, great selection of veggies and roast potatoes, would like a few more spuds but overall the roast is consistently good. The atmosphere is chilled and the staff are friendly

Just had a lunch here with an old work friend on a Wednesday lunchtime. Thai food is restaurant quality. Kitchen is subcontracted out, cooked and served by Thai people. The food is fantastic. Very good value. Irish chap behind the bar was top notch. Deffo a 10/10 for a mid week lunch.

Great food and selection of beers, prices a bit too familiar with London though.

Really nice pub with big portion of food especially on a Sunday roast

Disgusting treatment to customers. I am absolutely appalled by the treatment from the manager. When trying to raise an issue with the manger, she ( Northern Ireland lady with dyed platinum blonde hair and nose ring) told me quote on quote that she “had better things to do than listen to me”. My friends and I had been drinking in the pub for 2 hours prior to this. After two hours We were refused to be served and were asked to leave my the managed as one of our party ( who is 26) did not have a physical ID card, but had a photo on their phone. We wanted to discuss this further when the above interaction with the manager occurred. We have ever been treated like this before and will never return to an establishment who will not listen to their customers.

Love it here. We had a work do, lots of us. Great place, friendly staff and a really good menu. Food was lovely and served quickly. Thanks for a fun night

I like this pub. Friendly, welcoming bar persons. Reasonable choice of drinks. Nice draft bitter. Very tasty grub. XXX

An absolutely superb roast, plenty of great beers, friendly staff and lovely atmosphere.

Great little Gem tucked away.. Nice food and good selection of beers and wine. The service was brilliant, visited on a Sunday and had the roast dinner washed down with a few beers watching England v Fiji in rugby.

The Thai food here is some of the best I've had! I've been to Thailand and this food is authentic. It also is very cheap compared to other food in Brighton. Lively staff, clean place and good music. Slightly slow service.

Unbelievable thai food, great atmosphere

Going to be honest considering I’m vegan I was surprised that across two visits just how good the vegan food on offer was. Even a good selection of zero beers. Good service well priced

Roast potatoes to be ashamed off. The worst roast dinner I've eaten for a long time. Beef over done and chewy. The roast potatoes tasted like they had been cooked days ago. Gravy was obviously just granules. No pride in their food. Felt cheated.

Very nice food and drinks. Rather expensive bar so I'd only visit occasionally if I'm passing.

Absolutely incredible food! Trying to work my way through the whole menu tbh. Its so delicious! The pub has a great atmosphere too and is spacious, and well located.

Great pub with a real fun vibe, would come back again!

A very fine experience, this. Ample seating inside and out. Wonderfully friendly, helpful and efficient service. Excellent range of drinks. And the 'panang mootord' made me long for a return to Asia. Outstanding food. Great effort. Go here.

The best Thai in town with no doubt! The atmosphere is great, staff and service efficient and courteous… what else? A must try, highly recommended

Got a pint of Aspall for £6 - pretty regular, though could be slightly colder. Also had a beef roast & pork roast - beef was excellent, while pork was slightly dry & the crackling was a bit tough. Yorkies were excellent, and so were the vegetables. Minor downside is that the food took ~40 minutes to arrive for us - to be fair, it did seem quite busy.

Went for a roast here the other day. Lovely smiley staff! Really nice pub, roast chicken was delicious. Loads of meat, yorky. Only downfall, very stingy on the veg (I never understand why when it’s the cheapest element?!) half a carrot, couple bits of kale, one brocolli stem and some red cabbage. Everyone commented on the lack of veg which would’ve taken this to a 5/5! I would say better than the roast across the road at the basketmakers because their roast potatoes were so bad!

A lively pub, expensive, but good atmosphere. Gets busy. Limited outside seating.

Kim is a certified legend! Just moved in around the corner and met her and she is a mega babe deluxe ❤️‍🔥 food is stunning and drinks are a dream 🤘

First time to the Eagle. Nice atmosphere, lovely selection of beers and food wad good too. Would definitely go again.

Great pub, proper thai food - tucked away so an eager crowd that are mostly Brighton and not many ‘walk-ins’. The food (made by Thais) is good, but there is a lot of rice and not much sauce so it can be very dry. They explained they do this as the sauce is very hot, to which I suggested more sauce, less hot, chillis on the side. I now ask for the rice to come separately, and they’re very happy to do that, hence still five stars.

It's great on a sunny day to suck down some delicious creamy pints of the black stuff!

Went for drinks and Thai food last night. The food was really excellent. A great choice of small plates and larger curries and noodle dishes; several vegetarian and vegan options. Very reasonably priced too. Will definitely be back.

Went there for a Sunday roast and it was so delicious! I had the veggie wellington and it was some kind of mushroom mix and it tasted so good and the extras were amazing! Definitely worth it ! We got cauliflower cheese on the side and some extra gravy and I’d recommend doing that. The broccoli was a bit hard and the potatoes a bit burnt and it could’ve done with some more proportion of the vegetables because it was quite carby but overall a really nice and super filling roast! The service was really good and it was nice to sit on the outside benches in a not too busy part of Brighton :)

Lovely pub and food but wouldn’t go back as two pints of Diet Coke £9.60, don’t mind paying over the top but when you feel like having the mick taken out of you with prices like that for not drinking alcohol its enough to put me off going back

Came here with my parents and some family friends for drinks and dinner on a Friday evening. I had the Udon goong which was yummy. We also tried the squix which was really good. It's nice to come to a pub that provides thai food which differs from the norm

Brilliant pub, we were served by Molly who was attentive and polite. She went above and beyond to accommodate us. Hashtag lovely dinner

A friendly atmosphere with a good range of beers and fantastic and hearty Thai food. I'll definitely be going back.

Best Thai food, with massive portions in this funky side street off the North Laine.

stabiles Fleisch beim Sunday roast aber Kartoffeln waren ein bisschen zu mehlig

I've been going to this pub for many years on and off and it's a great place to stop for a drink. The Thai food is also out of this world!

Nice vibe in the pub, good drinks available, the Thai food is beautiful and refreshing to have on a pub menu. The staff are also friendly and care.

Busy busy busy, noisy but good service, pricey for out of towners but good choice of drinks. I liked it.

Service is excellent, the thai food is amazing (proper thai food!) and the ambiance/decor is great. Definitely a staple now that I've been once!

Great atmosphere.. prices might need addressing.. ouch!

This pub has a ridiculous policy for off pints. Just visited with my boyfriend who ordered a Guinness. He drinks Guinness all of the time so knows how it should look and taste. It was not clearing properly and had a very strange aftertaste as if it was off. He told the barmaid who refused to pour him a fresh pint or even a pint of a different beer. She said it was company policy. We therefore had to hand back both drinks and go elsewhere as the Guinness was not drinkable and we didn’t feel we should have to pay for a fresh pint. It’s a shame because we like this pub but they’ve now lost our business in future for the cost of replacing one off pint.

Lovely pub. Close to the lanes but just far enough to keep a quiet atmosphere.

Thai food is sometimes superb, sometimes a bit meh and slow. I can only assume it depends on who is cooking it. The pub has a good selection of drinks on tap and the staff are always friendly. There are cosy booths and tall group tables and it manages a cosy and airy atmosphere at the same time. Toilets are upstairs and in a reasonable condition for Brighton though I was unable to find any baby changing facilities, a great shame as the space is good for lunch.

Fantastic roast, fantastic staff and atmosphere.

Cool place, food is great and so was the beer

A decent pub with the most AMAZING Thai food !

Great range of cocktails. Dogs welcome.

Great Thai street food and friendly atmosphere.

Good selection of beers and great food. 👍

Amazing food at a great price. Lovely atmosphere

Great atmosphere and food was absolutely wonderful. Great Thai street food.

The was incredible. Very busy and a delay between my wife and my meal. But was easily forgotten by the taste of the food.

We must have gone on 2 off days judging by the other reviews. Popped in for some lunch as Zaab at the Mucky Duck was on Holiday (best Thai in town.) Didn't think much of the Thai food on both occasions. Gave them the benefit of the doubt the first time but wont be going back a third. Decent selection of beers though.

Friendly atmosphere and barstaff good

They don't let anyone without an English ID in

They don’t accept foreign ID’s, or African ID’s. Brexit means brexit I guess? 🤷‍♂️

Very good Thai food. Priced well

Spacious, good food and nice drinks.

Great food, drink and atmosphere.

Warm and friendly atmosphere, fantastic staff and amazing food!

Just read all the good reviews; they say it all! We had a wonderful family Thai-based meal, with great choices for meaties, veggies and vegans alike. Oh, I almost forgot to mention the tasty beer!

5 stars for food. 0 for bar staff. 2 girls that clearly don't care about the customers. Too busy staring at Instagram to realise they had missed a meal off the order and then rude about their mistake. No apology and made to wait another 30mins for the missed meal. Maybe would be less of a wait if the bar staff helped the poor cook with the waiting or clearing of tables

Brilliant pub, great selection of beers. Amazing Thai food too. Just off the beaten track so one the locals know is good.

What a hidden gem this place turned out to be. Gorgeous pub, great drinks and the most amazing Thai food we have ever had. The atmosphere is perfectly matched to the local surroundings, very easy going and relaxed, and the staff are lovely! We will be visiting again very soon. Thank you!

Such a great local Brighton pub. The best art deco mirror as well

Excellent Thai food, served quickly in relaxed pub surround. Cocktails not bad either 2 4 £15. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic pub, great good, ambience and layout 10/10

Staff are super friendly, knew our order after 1 round, massively appreciated. Atmosphere and decor is cool and place is super clean. Round of 4 beers (2x Staropramen and 2x Beaverton's) was about £25 which is pricey though!

One of my favourite pubs in Brighton and without a doubt the best Thai food in the city. Truly authentic flavours and dishes and well priced. Good beer and lovely staff. I like sitting in the sun in the evening and watching the world go by on the edge of the laines

Some of the best Thai food I've had in ages! Plenty of tables inside and nice staff. £5.45 for a pint of lager.

Great authentic Thai food. Namo is awesome 👍

Great Thai kitchen and good vibes all around!

Excellent pub that is right up my street for vibes. Cosy interior and friendly staff with a good selection of beers and cocktails. It seems a lot of people come here for the Thai food, and if I hadn't already eaten I would have joined them as it smelt and looked fantastic. This is the sort of pub you could easily spend a whole evening rather than just a couple of hours. If you dropped it in the middle of the countryside it would fit right in.

Very pleasantly surprised at the latest incarnation of this N Laine boozer - what could have been a tedious bland moderne makeover has been v sympathetically done, with a soothing dark colour scheme, warm low lighting in nice rattan fittings, soft upholstered seating in a mix of booths, benches and tables, and classic pub-appropriate prints throughout. Toilets immaculate. Keg beers are modern, predictable and at typical 21st century prices, but my Vocation was excellent and there was a cask option, which presumably is a bit less savagely priced. Service was pleasant, professional, good. The Thai food, though I can only speak for the dish I had (crispy pork), is absolutely banging. Mine came out in no time (but had been nowhere near a microwave), portion was bordering on huge, it was delicious, authentically hot (shrinking violets beware) and quite reasonably priced considering the locale and surroundings. Indie classics played at a good middling volume during my visit. There are very few pubs in Brighton that I really love, and this isn't one of them, but it's a very nice spot and would be a great place to meet with friends. Recommended.

Toss up between 3 or 4. Bit expensive, some of the bar staff just seemed tired and not interested, a little group of 4 of them at the end of the bar chatting and eating. The Thai for was sadly a bit of a let down. 2 dishes were a little bland and fairly oily. It was enjoyable don't get me wrong just felt underwhelmed because its not cheap by any means.

The service of one girl was dire. She was rude and surly when asked for updates on food. The final small plate of food came out over an hour after the first person's. When asked for updates we were met with open hostile looks. Ruined what should have been a lovely visit.

Loved it, great atmosphere, good drinks and fun bathrooms 😂

Great selection of beers and the staff are really friendly.

The best, bar none, Thai food I have had.

Relaxed vibe, very busy at weekends, really tasty thai food served here, staff is friendly, lots of seats indoors & some benches outdoor at the front. Room upstairs for functions.
