The Hollingbury in Brighton and Hove

Popped in here for a quick drink people were really friendly would recommend

Friendly staff and great atmosphere. Makes for a great dog friendly pub + the owners dog is gorgeous!

Only popped in for a couple of games of pool. The pool was free on Sundays, and they had put out free cheese and crackers . Ended up staying for a few pints and a few games of pool. Staff/owner was really friendly. Tvs up and showing sports, which was cool. I will deffo be going back.

Seems friendly enough, but went in on a Saturday afternoon and the horse racing was on at high volume to an audience of old men. Nice enough place but not my sort of pub. Guinness was only £4.40 Edit: Just added a star as I've noticed there are cling-film wrapped egg rolls on the bar. Proper old-school. Edit Nov 23 I really like this place - funny pub singer on a late sunday afternoon. Really friendly.

Very friendly owner and staff give everyone respect.

Ive attended the pub on a few occasions, Great staff, Great service. We organised a event there and the staff were amazing and managed to accomodate us all was a great night. Good prices and good environment would recommend.

I came here with the Rugby League team of Brighton University and they absolutely spoiled us rotten, Thank you so much

Friendly lady working in there today, yummy pizza and great beer garden! :)

Nice pub , very quiet in the daytime, nice staff.

Nice local pub, OK beer, friendly clientèle

Only popped in for one, ended up staying for several. Had a great evening. The owner Mark was very friendly and welcoming. The garden looks great. Always a good evening out.

Walked past and driven past this pub and always wanted to try it. I (wrongly) thought that it was a bit spit & sawdust, but I actually found it to have a good atmosphere without the pretence that many hipster brighton pubs have nowadays. The barstaff are super helpful and friendly and the prices very reasonable. I have not tried the food yet, but the outside seating area is really nice, with kids being able to play. All in all a good pub for those who just want a drink in friendly surroundings & without having to sell their liver to pay for it. Bravo The Hollingbury!

Great value, nice atmosphere and lovely staff. Would come again!

Lovely pub atmosphere just like pubs used to be . Staff are amazing locals friendly . Pizzas and cocktails were lovely . We didn't want to leave . Fantastic garden too .

Good outdoors. Indoors is average but the prices make up for it.

Lovely garden, friendly people, good beer selection

Great beer garden. What a lovely garden.big space for functions.

Really friendly pub and great service. Good outdoor seating and fantastic staff.

Nice cold pint after a hard week friendly staff lots of outside seats

Really enjoyed it. The girl's running the drinks to the beer garden were fantastic

What a poor experience I had. Go there as my boyfriend is there, just arrived I start to discuss with him weather to stay ot leave as they maybe don't do food. Not even 2 minutes later a lady, quite rude, comes around telling me that if I don't order I have to leave, so I say I don't fancy anything at the minute but I'll make my mind up within five minutes. She says she can't allow me to stay if I don't order right then, so I challenge the fact that I'm deciding but she keeps on saying that I couldn't and had to leave, so I did. This wasn't just unpleasant and rude but also unreasonable and makes think I would never go there again.

Typical local pub. Nice refurbish though.

A nice local's pub smartly decorated with friendly staff. Darts and a pool table for those who want. A decent place to spend a few hours with friends or pop in for a pint and chat to staff or regulars.

We found it has a very good bus service even on a Sunday, to Brighton. Some shops were within walking distance. Good bus and train links to The University of Sussex.

Came here for a drink with a friend. Sign said there'd be a warm welcome, which there wasn't, but I felt really comfortable there. It's a decent space, nice crowd on a Wednesday night. Good beer, would be nice to have some more varied nibbles but otherwise great pub!

Well its a pub, so far so good. Not much in the real ale category to recommend. Locals friendly enough.

This is my local pud I should visit here more often then I do I came down a few weeks ago for a few pints and a game a pool with a some friends I was surprised that the pool table was free to play and the drinks were not badly over priced like most pubs are I will definitely recommend this pub

Friendly staff and punters, decent prices and great outdoor space

Pool table, cold lager, nice smoking area and a good location. Nothing to argue with.

Oit was good nice staff customer's were friendly.Enjoyable lunchtime

Neat and tidy pub, plenty of screens for sporting events and a good atmosphere

Local crowd, loud but friendly. Doesn't have a homely pub feeling but clean and enough seating. Could have better beer selection.

Nice barmaid and a look table what else do you need

It was very pleasant nice lady at bar a very good pint thanks

One of the only pubs left with darts !!

Absolutely brilliant place to be! So inviting and friendly! They try so hard to provide the best and they sure do deliver.. if it's the after work drink, catch up with friends, a place to get merry on a night out or whatever your situation may be... this is the place for you! Go down and see for yourself.. you'll always leave there with happy memories! #TheHollingbury #Mark&Lisa

Would not go again. No welcome at all. Didn't want to serve us. Felt like complete strangers even though we live locally.

Really fun atmosphere, the staff are very friendly and chatty like how pubs used to be.

Gone downhill with new management.

Warm friendly and helpful staff.

Played pool against them all ex patcham high teachers lol took long

Lovely pub ! Regually in this pub landlords are lovely lovely friendly staff !!!!!

It's a nice looking place with good looking menu but the lady from the bar got very territorial about using the toilet to a point that she blocked my way back to the table and harassed my friend. Very unwelcoming place.

Horrible place. If you like being around cokehead builders being aggressive then come here.

Peaceful pint an read paper all good

Generally a very nice pub, blonde woman behind the bar was very welcoming and friendly. Do an assortment of panini's, burgers and other sharing plates ranging from £4-£8 which is clearly a reasonable price. Pints seem to range in between £3.50 and £5 which for Brighton is pretty decent as well, unfortunately the recent renovations seem to have removed a lot of the character of the pub but it is very clean and well presented nonetheless - not sure the point of the weird glass door at the entrance?. Pool and Darts as well which seems to be hard to come by recently, seem to have an events schedule during the week with a 'Reduced price Ale Night', 'Fizz Fridays' (£11 for a bottle of prosecco) and Live Performances on Saturday nights. Would definitely recommend and will be going back for sure.

Bar keep was top bloke and the pub looked brand new. Not sure about the Gatwick airport doors though

lovely pub to be in play darts there every so often

The Hollingbury, formerly The Hollingbury Hotel, has been situated in a prominent position in the Hollingdean area of Brighton since the late 19th century. Pop in for a friendly welcome from Lianne and her staff.
