The Gladstone in Brighton and Hove

Ventured to the Gladstone to see Chloe Marcela playing. First off what a voice on that young lady(yes I am biased ….she is my daughter. The pub itself is a nice and friendly, and the staff are great. I love a sense of humour so the Christmas tree in the corner with a well known brand of washing up liquid container sat on top did make me chuckle. I ordered food which absolutely blew me away. Service was a little long ( I did get an apology)but I actually didn’t mind the wait, when it arrived. It’s not Cordon Bleu it’s pub food but there was lots of it and it was fresh. It fed my daughters man mountain fiancé easily and that’s a big ask !!!. I would recommend to anyone it’s a great place to spend an evening.

Banging bargin burgers and loaded fries. Try the Scallywag sauce! Empty box as wolfed down £5 Cheeseburger !

Lovely roast at the Gladstone today. Decent and knock out price for Brighton. £15 is unheard of and really appreciate it. Bar and kitchen staff were lovely and the food and beer was great and we loved the old punk tunes. My parents kept saying : "I haven't heard this one in ages!!"

Great Sunday roast for all of us veggies and meat eaters alike. We were very impressed and the bar manager was extremely nice and helpful. The beer was great too.

So I got the mango cider and the Korean bbq chicken burger. I don’t know but something felt off. I am someone who rarely gets a stomach ache but I’ve been in the toilet all night and even vommited once. The mango cider wasn’t cold ( more to lukewarm) too I paid a fiver for a glass which wasn’t worth it at all. The burger is worth the price but definitely messed up my stomach. The service wasn’t student friendly as the staff did not bother to help us out of the menu. You can tell they’re catered to the regular men who came there. Anyway, lovely atmosphere and aesthetic.

The Gladdy is back !!! After the long awaited dismissal of the last manager, ( what a nobber !!) (who definitely didn't understand how to run this bastion of old school brighton pubs ) it is now under new management and what a breath of fresh air !! this place is banging once more. Great staff, regular gigs, music and real punters !! And now open past 9:00pm !! One of the best pubs in Brighton !! Always great gigs. See ya there !!! P.s. Don't vote tory, Not my king x

V good local pub with great music events. I'm very pleased not to give it an automatic 1 star for using single use plastic glasses. The service was painfully slow though. It was a busy night and frustrating to stand there watching one of the bar staff, slowly, cutting limes into quarters ... several people remarked that it was, at least, causing us to moderate our drinking. Tbh, it looked like it was lacking some to give the young bar staff a bit of advice on what to prioritise. One group near us left as they were fed up with how long it was taking not to get served and left. Shame. But, yep, usually it's much better.

We had an invitation to watch a Brazilian show! And the staff were very rude and the service was horrible

Lovely pub, this. Greeted by a lovely person behind the jump, got a delicious pint of Neck Oil, and sat in the covered area outside vaping like a happy idiot. Looks like there's a stage there or something, too, so I assume there are performances to behold there when one is not there at three in the afternoon. Good crowd. Do it.

We visited for an open mic night with my sons band. It's a great little venue with equally great service.

The brazilian food was delicious, good size portions and super tasty. Really worth the visit!!! Our drinks were served in plastic cups which wasn't great. They told us there was an event hence the plastic cups, but the dance floor was virtually empty. After eating we went to drink elsewhere to be served in proper glasses!

Great pub, lovely staff and very friendly

Must admit I had not eaten here for ages but I enjoyed the best Sunday roast I've had for a long time this weekend. Super friendly. Proper pub too. Excellent.

Had a lovely evening in here last week! Younger barman was very attentive and helpful to all my groups needs. Will be coming again!

Fantastic venue, went for reggae night, awesome ya-kno

Relaxed local with nice folk and the best Sunday roasts in town

Loved the Son Guarachando gig! Really recommend to see them here for Latin music!

A well-established and well-loved Brighton pub and live music venue that caters for seasoned musicians and also emerging talent. Nice selection of drinks at the bar and the roast dinners are a 10/10. Highly recommended 👌

As a pub this is fine, probably aimed mostly at students but perfectly okay. However, I went to see a band, and I honestly don't think I've ever been to such a ridiculous venue. The toilets and entrance to garden are next to the stage (which is tiny). I'm all for more music venues in Brighton, but seriously, this is not good. Sorry to be negative ☹️

Went in the other day and got charged £2.50 for a soda water, then saw the manager laugh about it to the bar staff. Used to be one of Brighton's best pubs

New bar staff are much nicer than the previous bunch. Had 2 roasts here now from the new kitchen and gotta say they were one of the best roasts I’ve had out in Brighton - definitely recommend! They offer 2 veggie options (can be made vegan) the tofu was not the best but the nut roast was great and every other part of the roast was brilliant. staff were lovely and we will most definitely be coming back to try the burgers in the week and they also do good looking breakfasts!

Went there for a pint last week. The sing on the door informed me that they open at 12 looked at my watch itwas1205 the door was open so we went in said hello and the hungover looking bar an appeared and told us to go out side because he wasn't read yet! DISGRACEFUL. PS IT WAS RAINING

The new kitchen here is amazing! We’ve been in twice in the last few weeks for roast and no exaggeration it might be the best roast I’ve ever eaten. Every element of it is cooked to perfection and loads of flavour. I’ve heard really good stuff about the burgers too.

Great food including Sunday roast served by very friendly, welcoming staff.

Absolutely sensational Sunday roast, best I have had in ages.

Omg!!! What an amazing roast. First time eating at the Gladstone and was sooooooooo happy with our meal. 6 of us eating a roast and all loved it. Great meat cooked to perfection (I had the lamb) and the best Yorkshire pudding I have ever had. Cauliflower cheese was so nice and cheesy. Would definitely get as a side. Service was also great as served super quick, and by the chef herself. All in all a solid 9.5/10 Definitely a regular on a Sunday now.

I bought a ticket to see Adrian Sherwood of On-U sound. The Gladstone is a great pub venue. Relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. Sherwood put on a great show. Google wants me to review the food, so I guess I'll have to go back another time for that.

It's very rare to find a carribean place with good food, good service, a good atmosphere, and all at a decent price. This has all three. I went to Brighton to see some family. my uncle brought me, the Mrs, and my nephew here. Needless to say, the next time I'm here, I'm definitely heading here again. Another tip, go on a Sunday cause the roasts are amazing

Thanks for not answering my Facebook messages.

Curry goat was 🔥🔥🔥🔥 will 100% be going back.

Popped in for a quick beer after the football. Staff were attentive, quick to serve and the beer was decent. Didn't eat so can't comment on food.

The gladstone is a nice and friendly local pub. Nice selection of drinks and a great outside area. the music inside is a bit unnecessarily loud, however that is only a minor thing.

One of the few decent places you can find for lunch on the Lewis Road Brilliant burgers and chilled, convivial lunchtime atmosphere Park in Sainsbury

The place itself looks a bit grubby but I really enjoyed the food! I had a very tasty blue cheese and bacon burger, the balsamic onions on it were very tasty and plenty of blue cheese as well. Great beer garden out the back and they do 2 for 1 on burgers on a certain day, maybe Mondays (up till a certain time) I think!

Met friends for a Sunday roast, great food but food took a little while to arrive but worth the wait. Good price, dog and child friendly.

Went to a record fair Had a good beer Staff were friendly

Friendly enough staff. Bit slow on service. I popped in at 6.30 on a Sunday. 3 working. One behind the bar, 2 clearing up so had to wait for my pint. Decent choice of 4 beers though.

Could do with some gentrification but definitely the best on this road. Nice patio area at the back, nice and friendly staff. Menu looked good but wasn't very inspiring with too many deals and cheap meals

Student 'feel' but quality Sunday roast, newspapers provided, large TV in back room and outdoor garden.

This is a really lovely pub, very spacious with lots of character. It has a nice outdoor area, with heated booths. There is often live music here and I have actually played here myself. The beer selection is good and the service has always been good. This is a great place to drink with friends.

These guys really know how to do Great burgers. Choice of a dozen burgers, we all had beef so can't say how good the chicken fish or veggie options are. But based on ours they should be outstanding. Be hungry as the portions are big but not expensive. We are out of student terms so the pub was reasonably busy but in term time I'm sure it gets very busy. Good local ales and cider plus the usually too. Great music and friendly staff. Give it a go

The kitchen here "Union Grill" produce delicious roasts, (I recommend ordering a board which has a mixed roast), really good burgers (Monday 2 for 1) and is a great pub with regular live music and a fantastic enclosed garden! For veggies, they have a 'Mac fritter' burger made of macaroni cheese - its really good!

It’s the best pub I’ve ever been to i. My life. They’re so welcoming and you can’t get chucked out for nothing. It’s the best . Fact.

Busy and vibing pub with delicious food and great music

Wicked open mic night, highly recommended 5 stars*****

Friendly little pub putting on the best nights, been there for several punk shows, all really sound people who go. Cool venue and the outside is nice too!

Amazing servant amazing staff, very fast very clean impressive very happy with them

No vegan options for the roast and the toilets aren't very accessible but it has a nice atmosphere.

Best Caribbean meal I've had in Brighton! (From a true islander)

One of the most vibrant and iconic pub in the heart of Brighton city.

Had a lovely sun lunch here. Great staff and food as well as great music. A really nice vibe. Thanks.

Nice traditional pub with good selection of beers and spirits

Great food and good space for private parties.

Freezing cold. Not serving food till 2pm despite Facebook advert saying everyday from 12. Expensive beer and sticky tables

Friendly staff, good vibe, nice pub with great indoor and outdoor area, bit pricey but worth it!

Sunday roast are fantastic!!!! Would highly recommend

Great, but I miss Paul and Paul

I just moved into the area. Been at a hospice saying goodbye to my Mother. Popped into my local for the first time to have a glass of wine before going home to break the news to my Daughter. It was 9.30pm. The staff behind the bar said they weren’t serving anymore. I sat and had a glass of water and watched them serve pints to regulars for the next 20 mins. I wasn’t drunk, I wasn’t badly dressed. Just a normal person. Will never go in there again. Strangers unwelcome.

Drinks are approximately £1 more expensive than all other pubs in the area. Which is extra offensive as none of the outside heating works and one of the managers is consistently miserable. He should not work front of house.

Fantastic pub/venue. Excellent beer garden and excellent soul food Sunday lunch. Yum. Also Fantastic music selection throughout the week. I have zero complaints about this new found pub and they will have me for a customer for some time as this place works well.

Love tippi best bar maid so friendly and food was amazing I’ll be back every week 😊

Attended a party here, great venue, lovely staff and a good band. Ample outdoor space, love to return in the warmer weather to enjoy it more.

found this little restaurant on the way to the station . on Queens St . looked small. very happy . we found it . food was very good . service OK. price about right . took home a doggy bag

Our annual visit (for dinner). We chose around 6 dishes, and all were excellent, especially the Thai-derived items, including a soup with seafood and Thai noodles.The total bill (for two) was around £47.00 which we thought was very reasonable. Service was very good and pretty quick. No complaints at all. Will certainly return.

Went for Sunday lunch, loved the building, very similar in style to The Lion & Lobster, but on a grander scale. We were there from 12, only a couple of other tables dining at that time. Service started off well enough, then disappeared completely after we had ordered. After 30 minutes our main courses arrived, we never saw the starter we ordered so decided to dispense with it as our mains were clearly ready. 2 had the burger, pretty underwhelming, and 1 was so black on one side that it was like crunching on charcoal. 2 had roast sirloin, the sirloin was very nicely cooked, potatoes tasty but not at all crispy, the giant yorkshire pudding was lovely (we know has we had an extra one on the side) The one with the roast was filled with all the vegetables, including a mountain of grey red cabbage, absolutely ruining what would have otherwise been a lovely yorkie. What is wrong with serving vegetables on the plate, and the yorkshire on top I have no idea. If you have a roast, order it as gluten free (which won't come with a yorkshire pud) but ask to have the yorkshire on the side, then you roast will be served in the usual manner and the yorkshire won't be ruined. Desserts were 2 tart tatins, one had to ask for a knife to get through the pastry! Mushy apple on top, nothing really resembling a tart tatin, and served with 'dairy free' ice-cream? both opted to have it with sorbet instead. No excuses for poorly executed food and service, it was early and really quiet. Love the building though so will just stick to drinks in future.

Always a good time at the Gladstone, great prices and student friendly, always nice to chat to the staff and the locals. A safe atmosphere for women and right by bus stops to campus and town.

Friendly service. Nice garden courtyard.

Tiz simply the most brilliant establishment

Beautiful beer garden, little bit pricey but that's Brighton for you these days! Student deals are very good £4.50 for amstel or £3.50 for a bottle of sol. The food situation was a bit confusing, there weren't any menus around but there's a fb page about food at the Gladstone... Who knows 🤔

A landmark pub, perfect for the spontaneous post-work pint after a day of work or study on Mouslecoomb campus

Very delicious food, wonderful and delicious burgers and great, friendly service, I recommend it with a clear conscience !!!!

The gladestone is right at the bottom of the road would you believe it I love this pub as I’m able to get a cheeky pint in after coming back from doing the local shopping Nice friendly atmosphere tends to have lots of students but it gives the place a youthful feel

Friendly service. Decent drinks choice. Well run pub for all demographics.

Went there on a Saturday night out, it has decent pricing as well as live music and a fun atmosphere, the size allows for a large number of people both inside and outside and had a solid selection of beers

Nice pub... Smoking room sheltered. Beer too expensive at £5.50 a pint. Wetherspoon's better Value..

Good boozer. Student vibes but friendly staff and decent beer.

Great selection of beers and a lovely beer garden!

Lovely atmosphere, nice garden. Lovely food

Fabulous pub. Great people. Wonderful beer garden. Delicious food. Best pub in brighton.

A friendly pub with a cool vibe n usually some decent music playing or a live band

Nice garden. No best bitter though, just modern hop stuff.

Looks like an old man's pub from outside but it's great once you're in. Lovely staff and cracking beer garden out the back. Will definitely be back. Didn't visit loos so can't comment.

Been coming for years to the Famous Gladstone!!!! amazing beer garden and yummy food!!!! GOOD VIBES!

Nice garden but drinks are pretty pricey even for Brighton!

Lovely staff, good background music, nice selection of IPA. Will be back!

The Gladstone I a fantastic watering hole . Great staff and amazing beer garden, friendly inviting all round good community pub .

A lovely garden with plenty of space and reasonably priced drinks

Quite bad service - forgot several people's chips. Also had different sized salads for identical orders and crispy squid was anything but crispy. Everything else was good though.

First time in this pub..I defo liked it 👍🏿✌🏿

Great pub, great to be back, Lucas the barman super helpful and nice!

Has a great back yard. 3 real ales.

It was OK. Only the first week things had opened so they were still hearing up. However, we ordered the same thing every time and it got more expensive each time. Although we said something each time we were basically ignored until the last time when we received a pound back and an apology.

Great sunday roast . Great value . Pints are not to bad either .

Staff are always so warm and friendly. Fantastic service, with excellent approach to social safety. Thank you.
