The Foghorn in Brighton and Hove

A great selection of cask and keg beers served by friendly, knowledgeable staff

Great micro pub with an excellent selection of beers. Helpful staff good atmosphere.

Great place to chat and unwind...

Great little local, friendly atmosphere and plenty of variety on tap

Great beer, great staff, great clientele. Friendly, real community spirit Food concessions are great too

First time in two weeks, great beer, superb vibe, friend So much fun

Great pub. Wonderful selection of beers and ciders.

Great beer and wine from independent brewery's. Great prices with friendly staff and customers.

The foghorn is a nice place for independent beers but can be busy and a wee bit pricey

One of the best pubs on the south coast. A local favourite, wonderful atmosphere and great selection of local beers that routinely change, giving us variety in such a small and humble location. Great selection of bar snacks, food trucks and local restaurants and takeaways to access food during or after.

Great selection of ales and ciders. Friendly atmosphere. Well worth 90 minute train ride to visit this wonderful drinking establishment.

My favorite pub in Hove! Iam a Gluten free person and there is always an option. More often than not there is a GF cask bitter or pale ale on as well as a good choice of ciders. Staff are great and atmosphere very relaxed and friendly.

Great beers and a great addition to Portslade. Service wasn't particularly friendly.

A pub where the emphasis is on quality products and conversation. Don't show up expecting live sports, a jukebox or a pool table. Bar, some tables, a toilet like the one downstairs at your in-laws. Sometimes there is a food truck outside, which varies from pizza and burgers to veggie Indian grub and tacos. The food that's there is always high quality but check before you arrive if that's a deal breaker for you, as it's only available certain days (otherwise there is a robust array of bat snacks). Best pub in Portlslade? They'll argue they're technically in Hove, but yes, it is.

Lovely little pub, just beer or wine, no spirits ....but my!! What lovely beers they are. Very lucky to be a local.

A nice bar. It was very busy when we went in. It felt very locals based so not completely comfortable for new comers.

Lovely place for a drink friendly staff lots of different beers to choose from

The Foghorn serves great 🍺 beers and a good night out. I go to the comedy nights which are 'brilliant '

Very enjoyable, lovely atmosphere.

Love it my new favourite pub in Portslade! 🍻

Five of us went to the Foghorn for drinks while in Hove. Service was good but they only serve craft beers. We tried a couple but were not impressed.

Such a lovely pub. Great selection of beers, snacks, friendliness behind the bar. We're lucky to have it on boundary road.

Great pub with a lovely selection, friendly atmosphere.

Lovely chill little pub with nice ales and an amazing pizza truck outside. Dog friendly and people friendly

Fantastic little boozer, lovely ales. Nice place to sit and watch the world go by. The food vans they have outside is a great touch too. I ended up eating more dosas than should be humanly possible

What can I say other then just so good. A local to be proud of.

Great atmosphere. Lovely rose wine!

Really bad.Had really loud music for hours outside this pub. Can not close doors or windows because it is soooo hot. Please think about your neighbours and MAYBE inform us that you are going to have really loud,rubbish music,for hours,outside your pub.

A great find and they even do good wine!

Love this place. One of my favourite pubs in the area, and that is saying something as there are some brilliant pubs round here! The beer selection & quality is superb. And the service is always excellent Will definitely keep coming back!

Lovely place on the corner with nice atmosphere and great selection of craft beers, ipa's, ales and ciders from local breweries, fair prices, with variety of street food pop-ups, nothing to complain. Recommended

Superb beers, friendly staff, nice location.

Good beer good prices nice vibe. Since my last review just gets better

First time in the Foghorn, have no previous experience of the venue, I thought the staff could have been more attentive and knowledge about the products to newcomers. However, the ale we purchased was very pleasant and palatable.

Great little real ale, real cider and craft beer bar with a regular crowd

The reasons why both the Watchmaker's Arms and the Foghorn claim the Camra Branch Pub of the Year (Brighton & South Downs Branch) for 2023 as winner and runner-up is quite simple: good beer, good service, good clientele. They're the only two micropubs in the immediate Brighton & Hove area - though there are a few taprooms in Brighton, too. Both are well worth a visit.

Um lugar bom para ir com amigos

Excellent beers, friendly staff and customers.

Amazing pub for real Beer fans. New beers every week. Great friendly staff. And nice Hove clientele.

Best pub in Portslade by a mile

Loved it, lovely atmosphere, felt like a proper boozer. Great selection of beers.

Great atmosphere, lovely staff and good beer. Best dog watching in town!

Lovely local pub. Great choice of beers and ciders. Welcoming and friendly.

Best beer in town. Best staff. Very good value AND you can even play games such as connect 4!!!! Highly recommend! Xxx

Wonderful vibe and really great to see the seats are becoming a little more comfortable! It's the small things that count so well done Foghorn!

This rapidly becoming our regular. Always something new to try from a wide selection of different ales, lagers, porters, and stouts.

A proper old school 'local' experience with a modern twist. Fantastic choice of temperature controlled beers to boot

Good vibes, great choice of cask ales as well as keg, ciders and wines, dog friendly and good people. Very much enjoy coming here for a few drinks, chat and chill :)

Lovely selection, a tad pricey and small gents toilet. Looker closed from the exterior

The pub all pubs wish they were

VERY VERY Expensive and some places are just a big fat NO.

Lovely and friendly community bar. A super collection of craft beers, ciders, wines, lager, bar snacks and probably much more..... family and dog friendly. Such a lovely warm and welcoming atmosphere

Lovely local micropub where Hove meets portslade. Friendly staff, good selection of cask and draught ales and Sunday ploughman’s. Highly recommended!

Great micropub, good varied beer selection and a friendly welcome. Must visit for beer lovers.

Great pub, great beers. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Card only payment only ! Can’t comment on the beer cos I have no card only cash

Lovely pub, great decor and a well crafted selection of beers!

Amazing pub with a great selection of beers. Conversation with other patrons is very much encouraged. The feature which really makes it special is its owners, who are really passionate and dedicated to everyone going away with a smile. Top marks!

Nice pub and atmosphere, not too dear perfect

Can not rate this micro pub enough. Great selections of wines, beers and Ciders, whether it be local or further afield this pub caters for all. No music interrupting conversations and such a laid back attitude that made you feel right at home. I would definitely recommend and I will certainly be back for a other visit very soon 😊

Brilliant micropub, great range of beer, cider and wine

Had a lovely cider in this lovely, little pub. Great atmosphere and great staff. Would go again!

Excellent boozer. Good beer, friendly staff, wide range of beers, good atmosphere.

Great pub, cracking pint at a decent price and friendly staff and crowd. I visited on a stay over night for work on a Thursday, no music, just people chatting away, great atmosphere and 5 stars, 10/10

Great little place, great selection of beer and lovely staff

Super cool and cozy pub with outdoor seating and a great IPA and cask selection. Staff is friendly and approachable and atmosphere is lively but relaxed. Enjoyed quite a few pints in the sun on a Sunday, I will definitely go back! Highly recommended!

Pity it’s card payment only Can’t comment on the beer because I don’t have a card

This pub has bought quality beers and ales to Portslade. Here it is about the flavour and variety of the beers. As well as the amazing company. The occasionally visiting food trucks at the weekend are always top quality and interesting. From smash burger to African cuisine and vegan toasties. Scampi fried, pretzel pieces, meat sticks and pickled eggs amongst the bar snacks inside. The pub has an outside seating area on the pavement that catches the sun during the day with people happy to share benches and tables. Inside it’s cosy and full of chatter.A small bar area and seating area with books and games to keep you amused. You can also end up sharing with some interesting characters. It’s not a trad pub, there’s plenty of those on this road.It’s still a social hub with the very greatly appreciated selection of really tasty beer. As well as the keg and draught all kept impeccably there a large range of cans and bottles of craft ales, always a good selection of interesting draught ciders and some well picked wines as well. Owner and staff are lovely and welcoming to and will always let you try a sample before you buy if you can’t tell your NEIPA from your WCIPA! (Spoiler, they’re both great)

Great Ale at reasonable prices but closes to early and lacks the atmosphere of a real traditional Pub.

Nice micropub, always have a good selection of beers. They aren't open everyday at all times though, so check opening hours.

Found the pub by accident. Glad I did. I will definitely pop back again when in area

My first visit, quite full and you could feel a definate lack of air circulation, all windows shut with condensation on them, just ripe for Covid spread, Beers were good, drank mine outside.

1st time there Good selection of beers very clean and great service

None of the pubs in the top 10 'The Best Bars And Pubs in Brighton' are the best pubs in Brighton as far as I can see. However, The Foghorn deserves to be. Very well kept beer, sold at a fair price, run and patronised by beer drinking enthusiasts. Small but not cramped, quiet but full of people, there is a warm feeling here. It's right by a bus stop, it's not far from the train station, and you can get two pints of a variety of premium beer far more cheaply than one of the 'Best pubs in Brighton'.

Friendly, fun pub with good beers.

My favourite pub ❤️love you guys

Perfect no frills friendly beer drinkers pub, sets the standard! if you like Watchmakers Arms in Hove or Beer Dispensary in Brighton then you'll love this place. New beers every week. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Great Micropub in Portslade just a few minutes south of the station

It isn't flashy, it isn't trendy, it isn't lavish. It's just a small place where people go who like beer. It isn't expensive, it isn't in a part of Hove where it would get the most custom, but, it is friendly, and busy, and full of people who just want a decent pint. You could spend all afternoon here. I wish I had.

A little bit on the small side, but lovely atmosphere and staff helpful and friendly.

Great bar and owners. Super choice of superb beer's. If you like real ale...The place to be......not find better

A great local boozer with a fantastic choice of booze. Friendly staff and sensible prices. Will definitely be back next time I'm that way!

The best pub, could not recommend this place enough. Amazing selection of beer which is always changing, great bar snack, great service. Really nice pub with an amazing atmosphere. Love coming here

One of my favourite low key spots. Well rounded craft beer selection including a constant selection of stout and porters. Prices are good for the quality of product served by a team behind the bar who feel happy to be there. Definitely worth a visit.

Lovely place with a great selection of well priced beers. Great atmosphere and friendly owners. Would recommend to anyone.

Amazing little bar. Great beers and lovely atmosphere! Can't wait to get back

The Foghorn is simply superb. It has four or five classic real craft ales, plus keg lagers, stouts, ciders and wines. The atmosphere is also lovely, with lots of pets and kids during the day, very friendly staff, and best of all on a sunny day outside benches and tables where you can watch the Portslade world go by.Don't miss it if you're in the area!

My local. Great beer which gets rotated regularly and the staff put up with me always asking to taste different beers before committing to a pint! Very reasonable prices too, highly recommended.

Fantastic range of excellent beers. Craft beer, properly kept... If I lived closer I might never leave!

Great beer on tap and the owners Tommy, Niall and Tim are really welcoming and the whole place has such a nice community vibe; have met some really nice people and enjoyed great beer. Love that they have guest local food available on different days.

Best beer s section this side of town.

Excellent range of beers. Seating inside and outside.

Great place, great ipa choice, friendly staff and nice vibe

Quality lager love the beer here

Really good friendly bar. No music, no fruit machines, no TV. Just a nice place to sup a pint and socialise.

£7 a pint and I never even got to set foot inside the pub. Do yourself a favour and go get your drinks from Aldi up the road and go sit in the park or seaside. Much cheaper and better view.

Fab micro pub, always great beer on tap.

One of the best pubs in Brighton and easily the friendliest.

Lots of funky ales and ciders....what more do you want!

They appear to have named this pub after one if its regulars.
