The Office in Brighton and Hove

We love lottie! Always a great laugh. Great atmosphere. Great people! Me and my pals have not had a better night in Brighton in decades! ROCK OUT🤟🏽🍺

Fantastice little spot close to the lanes, me and my partner visited this place on a sunny Tuesday afternoon and it was a delight, the drinks selection was varied and the pies were to die for! Highly recommend this place which even has a little beer garden at the back. We will definitely be back to enjoy this place once again, the staff were amazing and really attentive

Lovely pub in Brighton! I would Recommend to anyone. Jack the Manager is so lovely and an asset to the pub. Thank you Jack we will be back soon.

Excellent little pub, good location and nice relaxed atmosphere, good drinks selection, didn’t have food but pies looked good, friendly staff - call-out to Lottie and Ben

Pie and mash heaven. Great veggie options and nice atmosphere. We came in purely by accident but it’s my new favourite place to eat in the lanes.

love this pub, manager is so welcoming and friendly, pies are 10/10 and the atmosphere is amazing, would definitely recommend!

I came in for Monday poker and had a great time, Matthew was a great poker host! The selection of beers and spirits are great! Will definitely be coming back again!

Quiz is brilliant, shout out to Luke the Quiz Master who did a great job! First visit at the pub but will come again

Absolutely wonderful, utterly delious pies, lovely relaxed atmosphere, and to top it all great staff.

What an amazing little pub in the north lanes of Brighton. Lovely wine a delicious pies, great staff and secret garden

My friends and I had a great time playing poker, Matt was a great host and made us feel welcomed. The drinks were great and a good price, I would definitely recommend and will be going back very soon.

The price for a double was quite high and sadly the price for the same drink varied between bar staff. The place lacked ambiance and their candle game was particularly poor.

The pub is really cute, you also have board games to play with, they serve pies that are delicious (advised the spinach and goat cheese) and nice choice of drinks

Millie and Chris were the best hosts looked after us smoking area is good too Jack the manager was absolutely lovely too

Popped in for a few drinks with mates. Mollie and Chris were great bartenders. Deffo would come again, very friendly.

Always a pleasant atmosphere, service and competitive prices and good food. Great little dog friendly pub in a nice area.

Saw advertised on Facebook a pie roast and had to give it a try. Opted to have the "tikka to ride"special pie and it was the best pie I've ever had. Disappointed to hear that it won't be a permanent fixture on the menu but...

Lovely pie and mash!! Excellent service and friendly, helpful staff. Thank you…definitely recommend and we will be back!

Really great atmosphere, great pies and great entertainment. I went on Monday night which was poker night which was great fun and very welcoming.

The new Pie Roast dinner was excellent, very well presented and very tasty. I will definitely be back for another and I would recommend.

Lovely atmosphere and warmth when popping in for a quick drink! The staff Matthew, Joel and Ollie were very welcoming and keen to talk to, drinks are nicely priced and are as fresh as you can get them! On another occasion I met Ricky, a...

The best variety of bar I have see Nina very long time. Staff were totally fab, friendly, sample tastes, water for the dog and a treat, we were all spoilt. Have visited many pub/grub establishments but this is way way up there with the very...

I love this pub, it has a lovely atmosphere, and the staff are helpful and friendly. I look forward to coming here again in the near future. The food was great too.

The best pornstar cocktail I ever tried ! This pub has a nice cozy little sunny backyard to enjoy your drinks and cold beers

Friendly service by cheerful bar staff… unexpected garden to chill out in away from the bustle of the the north Laines .. we’ll worth a visit

I visited yesterday, Saturday 28th May. And it had a lovely atmosphere. And I look forward to going back there in the near future. The staff were wonderful very helpful. Thank you.

The staff at Green Dragon Brighton were amazing last night when we attended our work event. Friendlt, efficient, accomodating and made us all feel very welcome. Definately would recommend this place aa the pie's are out of this world and the atmosphere fun

Fantastic atmosphere and really friendly professional staff. All the bar staff were attentive and couldn’t be more helpful if they tried. Cameron was great behind the bar even when we were unsure if what to order. The pies were very filling and tasty. Already looking...

I visited back in March when I came for the quiz. It was really good fun would recommend it! Nice food and the staff was friendly and jolly! I think I was served by Cameron and he was a joy! Will be coming back.

First pub i've seen here but surley the best in town! Robert and Chad are doing a great job with running this place. The cider is delicious and the food is great. The only thing i can do is recommend this place! Ladys and Gents...

This is a wonderful pub, staffed by young, caring & fun people. I rarely, if ever, eat pies as I don't like stodgy pastry. But this was totally the opposite and was a taste sensation. My partner had the Free Ranger which was a chicken...

Popped in for a drink and some food as my usual was closed . I was attracted by the pie menu . I wasn’t disappointed . The place was buzzing . Good vibes . Had the beef pie mash beans and red wine gravy ....

Loved visiting this pub haven’t been since it was refurbished and they have done it beautifully. The staff are super friendly and helpful wonderful atmosphere.

This place has had a complete refurb, they offer food although we didn't eat. The barmaid was very friendly and helpful.

It was a busy day when we visited, no tables so we sat at the bar. The barmaid was very friendly. They offer food although we didn't eat this time, will try again later

A newly opened pub with great atmosphere, great hospitality and service, serving the most amazing pie and mash based meals. They serve Doom Bar and also draught Estrella (one of my favourites) which isn't found in many pubs and is a Barcelona Lager of a...

Strange? Didn't eat but the pies looked unappetizing. Just a load of brighton/Sussex uni throwback scrotes. Too many beards and beanies felt like spoons. Bring back the Office!

Unfortunately there was a very limited drink selection as apparently being taken over. The new owner really does need to get in there as lemonade and coke wasn’t what I was expecting.

Over 60 gins to choose from (there’s a booklet with basic tasting notes as a guide). Also does Thai food which was very nice - a bit pricey but worth it. It also has a small terraced garden at the back. Can be busy Friday...

Heard great things about this place. Starters were phenomenal. My main, a rice dish with chicken and prawns was however over cooked and inedible. Their noodles with prawns were however greatly enjoyed by my partner. There is a need for a restaurant to offer consistent...

I was really surprised by this place... looks like a normal cosy pub-style bar, which it is, until you see the menu. It’s all Thai food! At first I was disappointed as I really fancied some classic pub grub but wow - I’m so glad...

My first experience of trying Gin and this was a great place to experience different varieties. A comfortable pub with attentive bar staff. The food was also very good and the service overall was faultless. I would definitely recommend The Office.

Fantastic pub with some of the best Thai food i have tried. Charming interior in a superb location. Good guiness as well

If you love gin and you love Thai food, I would highly recommend stopping here for lunch/dinner. The extensive gin list means you can try something different every-time you visit. What’s also nice about their drink offering is there are a number of unique, local...

Authentic and tasty Thai food cooked in the kitchen. Very yummy. Very good prices. Very friendly staff. Recommended

A great location, awesome atmosphere, over sixty gins with friendly staff that advise on the drinks. Loved the Mcqueen Mocha. Great prices too

Me and a pal came here on a Thursday after a gig. Was a really lovely place to unwind. Lots of nice beers and friendly staff.

We had a great Thai food after a long Team meeting on a Monday. A colleague had a recommendation. Excellent choices of beer and cracking spicy Thai Food. Prices were reasonable as well.

Popped in here for lunch on a weekday at around 1pm and got a table easily.

Popped in here for a quick lunch. Good options and variety of Thai food along with sides to choose from. Ordered the noodles and fried rice, both taste delicious! On the pricey side, particularly the sides but very tasty. Portions could be bigger for the price you pay.

Having had fond memories of sampling the selection of gin’s at the Office it was disappointing to see how tired the place has become. On our recent visit not only did the decor need a refesh but the toilets left much to be desired. My wife worryingly found a candle as the sole light in the ladies! Time for a refurb I think.

We came here for dinner but instead just ended up ordering drinks. I had the Bramble. The drinks were good, but it seemed like this was more a place for just drinks rather than food.

We had dinner here on 26/07/18, just before returning to London.

Haven't been to Brighton for years so was looking for nice pubs & bars in which to have a fun evening. We happened across The Office and thankfully they have NZ Sauvignon Blanc and a very drinkable local ale. Sitting in the courtyard garden on a lovely warm evening you cannot help but to drool at the smells coming out of the franchised Thai food kitchen. We shared a starter comprising various Thai bites and it really was good. Careful of the squid tempura if you are not into spicy food, though. Overall such a great experience we went back there later in thd dvening!

Popped into this quirky little pub whilst strolling through the North Laines in Brighton one sunny sunday afternoon. Amazing selection of Gins and good variety of lagers and ciders to try. We were fortunate that the THAI KITCHEN was operating so we ordered a selection including Pad Thai Noodles and a Red and Green Thai curry. The food arrived promptly and was just what was needed, no complaints from anyone in our party.

The Office offers plenty of fine gins and a good selection of lagers on tap (try the Kozel). My partner opted for the only bitter on tap and produced it 'light and refreshing. They do Thai food but we didn't eat. There is a sunny beer garden but we opted for the calm shade of the bar.

Great little no-frills pub in the North Laines : fantastic selection of gins, great beers on tap and the kitchen is run by Thai people with the menu simple but the food fresh and tasty and inexpensive !

We come to Brighton around five to six times a year and keep meaning to try this place. I just wish that we'd have kept on walking past again today. The menu was ok but there seemed to be very little accompaniments with the gins; No cucumber just lemon or orange. The cocktail I had was ok but very weak. The worst thing though had to be the toilets, the worst I have seen in Brighton. There are so many other better bars in Brighton, we won't be back

This place saved us on a wet rainy afternoon. Went in as there were a couple of tables free... so glad we did! They have so many weird and wonderful gins, delicious Thai food and friendly staff. Relaxed atmosphere and good music makes me wish I lived closer but will definitely be visiting again when next in Brighton!

Great pub/restaurant. Excellent selection of gins and exceptionally friendly and hospitable staff. Worth spending time in, if you’re ever in Brighton!

My partner and I loved it here! The atmosphere was brilliant and drinks were amazing. We only intended on getting drinks but when we saw the food coming out we knew we had to come back later and try it. It definitely did not disappoint!

It's been a while since we last visited the Office and the first during the afternoon. We were lucky to find a free table as the venue was very busy - although there is also a rear garden overflow. Two guys were playing old 78s and another couple were enjoying the occasional jive' and in some weird way it all seemed right but that is what we like about the place. The food is prepared by Thai chefs and was indeed very tasty and not overpriced at all. Definitely worth a visit.

After finishing a lovely dinner, my partner and I were recommended to try out The Office for their Gin collection. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a lovely lady who had a genuine interest and wide spread knowledge of the Gin collection. We followed her recommendations and tried the Monkey 47 (with 47 different botanicals) with the Fever-Tree tonic, and let's just say the drinks did not last long! The service was fantastic and the atmosphere of the place was nice and simplistic. Unfortunately the toilets could use with a bit more attention but apart from that we would definitely recommend it to any Gin lovers!

Visited on a Friday evening and it was packed. Good Thai food and a wide range of gins available all at a reasonable price. Quick service and friendly atmosphere. Recommend.

Pasé un par de horas en la oficina, los baños son imponentes, así también - si buscas alrededor, es la zona de bar. No ocupado cuando estuvimos allí, el personal se levantó alrededor, podían haber estado de limpieza de los aseos grave o barriendo el...

Este es un agradable bar que sirve una amplia variedad de diferentes Gin. No es un enorme interior y se llena bastante en los tiempos de espera. El establecimiento también sirve comida tailandesa, así que si quieres tener una mesa, te sugiero que reserve con...

Ah recomendado este lugar así aparecimos durante el fin de semana en Brighton. Me quedé muy decepcionada.

Encantadora comida tailandesa y una increíble selección de gin.

Went here for drinks on Saturday with friends, lovely place. Nice choice of gins and the service was really friendly. Will be making this a regular place to visit now.

We popped in here after a conference in Brighton as heard they did some nice gin cocktails. The bar is fairly small with not a lot of tables and from the inside it does look more like a pub decor with wooden tables and chairs than a restaurant but the smell of Thai food was intoxicating. It is bar order service so we went up together to order. My colleague ordered a cola from the pump but it was flat and the barmaid changed it without fuss to a bottle cola. The rest of us had gin cocktails which were fairly priced at around £6.00 each and geez you could taste the gin in them! The food arrived altogether and consisted of reasonable portion sizes. A colleague asked for a fork at the bar and the barmaid went to the kitchen, when she returned we were told they only had forks and spoons. We also then had to ask for salt as there was none on the table and we were given some without hassle. The food was very nice and flavoursome. I think for me this was the best part of the experience as although the cocktails were nice, they mainly consisted of gin based cocktails and I like a variety. Nobody used the facilities so cannot comment on this. Once we finished our food we stayed on to chat for a while longer and did not feel rushed to move out which was nice. The only slightly negative comment I have is regarding the bar/ waiting staff as although they carried out their duties perfectly, there was not an air of welcome around them. When they came to clear the table it was done without a word and we were in the middle of a conversation and all of a sudden the plate in front of me was almost snatched away. Similarly as we were sat chatting, the menu in the middle of our table was suddenly snatched away without a word, it seems the food had stopped being served. It would have been nicer if the staff member had just asked or made their presence known before leaning in to the middle of the table and retrieving the menu. It's definitely worth a visit though and the food is delicious.

We came at lunchtime and enjoyed the excellent choice of beers and we had a lovely Thai food snack of tempura vegetables.Service good and very friendly.

We have been to The Office Sydney St Brighton for Thai food many times and haven't had a problem with BAR staff or THAI food before BUT this time the BAR staff were appalling and the food not quite up to its normal standard. We specifically asked for coconut rice for both meals which the female bar person with dyed light blue hair acknowledged. Non the less the meal arrived with plain rice we did not realise this until we had partally mixed in the curry with the rice. The BAR staff then wanted us to wait for the coconut rice to arrive and just add it to our meal and we had to take of the now curry soaked plain rice. We did not find the acceptable and returned both plates to the BAR which obviously upset the BAR staff. We finally got fresh plates but my curry was more watery than normal and some of the veggies were a little hard but overall still very tasty. When we went to pay we thought the bill a bit steep at £38.20 I paid by card but asked for an itemised receipt which you do not automatically get there. It was after a little fuss between the two female BAR staff that I was handed a handwritten receipt and a £10 cash refund with SORRY written on the receipt.....Now had I not asked for the itemsed food receipt I would have been £10 out of pocket. Was this overcharge to cover for the two meals we returned which the BAR would have had to cover as it was their mistake in taking the order or is this a normal occurance? Just be warned ALWAYS ask for an itemised receipt and don't be scared to challenge if you think bill s too high!!!

My husband and I chanced upon this place, which is situated in the North Laines and appears to be run by a Thai family - the main attraction was the number of Gins in order - they also offered an interesting selection of beer. We came during the day (so it was not very loud) and we sat in the garden where there is a sun spot. There is a fantastic selection of gins and gin based cocktails - I went for the Brighton Gin, which was citrusy and crisp and we enjoyed Pad Thai noodles. The noodles tasted fantastic and the spring rolls looked freshly and hand made (which were also delicious).

We only went in for a drink. Incredible selection of gins with detailed notes in a menu. Quite an education. Staff were well informed as to what goes with each one. It would have been nice if they had looked like they were enjoying their work.

Almost walked out as it was so loud - DJs playing classic swing music ( don't understand why they don't just create a play list- probably something to do with the authentic sound of vinyl!! And it is Brighton) My wife liked the row ! Great atmosphere and a very fine gin & tonic .Worth another visit.

...didn't feel terribly clean in there. I must confess I tend to judge places by their toilet facilities, and the ladies loos here definitely need refurbishment. Tired, grimy and old, they needed updating. Food was pretty good though so it's a shame.

These guys know how to pour a decent gin in a nice balloon glass with lots of ice Good selection of gins too

Not impressed with the service or the cleanliness of the pub.It seems we were in the minority as the pub was very busy, however no one was eating or drinking the lengthy list of gins.

Wonderful food people staff can't wait to go again so will be top of my list when come back to Brighton

It's a good place for gin, but the benches, bright lights and lack of soft furnishings make it a rather uncomfortable place to drink. It is like being sat in a cold office or shop.The Thai food smelt nice, would like to try it if I ever go back. Sorry but too ordinary.

Found The office through an Internet search, wow what a fab little pub ..... gins galore, great food very reasonably priced. Friendly staff, great service and lovely atmosphere.... my new favourite bar in Brighton !!!!! Do pay a visit you won't regret it and you don't just have to like gin !!!

Great little pub in the lanes good staff, nice atmosphere, fantastic choice of drinks very busy when we were there, will return again soon

The attitude of the staff here is disgusting. Have visited and eaten here a few times, normally hot food from the kitchen or simple bar snacks when the kitchen is closed. One time just after I ordered food I was informed that if I want to sit in here I should buy something. Only after a short time did she tell me the kitchen is a separate business (but the bar is the only place to eat the food), however as I mentioned above I order bar snacks too if the kitchen is closed which surely is not a separate business, plus I sometimes buy drinks there too.Some advise for the management, don't rudely criticize paying customers for not buying things and instead get your facts right.Also the place is poorly heated in winter and I have had food brought to me undercooked.

Stumbled across this treasure in central Brighton. Friendly staff, nicely done interior, excellent location. I had a nice mulled cider for £2.95, don't know about other prices. Ideal place to recover after a day wandering around the centre

We had a late lunch, a few gins and beers here on a Saturday afternoon on a weekend away.It's a lot smaller than the website and write-up would have you think.The gin selection is amazing and we wish we could have stayed for more to work our way through the collection. Beers were pretty good too.Staff not 100% on the mark but not too bad.Thai food was beautiful and quick. I wouldn't have put Thai food with a gin bar but it seems to work pretty well.The venue itself is a bit shabby which probably doesn't matter at night but during the day looks a bit grim.Good place for gin fans.

Been here a few times now, always during the day as a stop off when visiting The Lanes. It's a good place with one of the bigger gin selections you might find anywhere. I recommend the Colombian Aged, my missus the Jinzu, both with Mediterranean tonic. They do Thai food too, we just had a starter to share as nibbles and they were lovely. The food in general here has a good reputation and at a reasonable price.

I visited the pub last week with a friend for lunch. The bar was quite quiet and the service was quick. The mains come with rice and the food is hot and delicious. A good choice of starters and mains are priced well. There is also a wonderful choice of gins which I didnt try on this occasion but have sampled previously.The bar is over 18's only which makes a welcome change from having to eat lunch with screaming children running around which is the norm in many pubs.

Try out different gins of the world they have a fantastic selection of over 50 unusual gins and several tonics, all beautifully presented with various accoutrements, lemon, lime, cucumber etc. Theres a small hidden garden.

I opted for a Rhubarb Gin and 1724 tonic, which apparently is made with Quinine picked at 1724 meters above sea level on the Inca trail (i'm a sucker for marketing!). I have tried my fair share of premium gins and normally have Fever Tree tonic, but this really blew me away. My partners Hoxton Gin which was coconut based was also the best she had tried!

Thought the food here was very tasty and rich in flavours and spices. Also very reasonably priced. Venue could do with a bit of sprucing up but don't let that put you off.

If you're a lover of Gin then this is the place for you! Quietly tucked away in the North Laines area of Brighton, this bar is small and intimate but serves lovely gin cocktails along with 25 different varieties of gin... There are drinks for no gin lovers as well!This is a good place to start your evening off... Oh and it's very reasonably priced

After a busy day shopping this was a great find, just what we needed. The Office is a very friendly and inviting bar, with a great selection of Gins, and various lovely cocktails available. It has a great relaxed atmosphere were you can just have a drink and a chat and just relax. This area is just so much better than The Laine's more room to walk about and browse. We are definitely going back to carry on tasting the Gin's that they have and would recommend.

Situated in the North Laines. A great venue for Gin lovers and it also serves good Thai food. The place is busy and buzzy. The staff a fast and efficient. The Gin menu is a delight. It is very noisy and is dog friendly. Worth a visit.

We just went in for lunchtime drinks and took them into the beer garden at the back. The garden is all concrete. At one time, somebody has made an effort to make it nice with plants and furniture, but it is sadly neglected. Plants are dying, furniture decrepit, and even the floor was not swept. Under the stairs outside is piled broken plastic junk - chairs and flowerpots. The garden umbrellas are covered with mould. Very sad.The cider was OK and the white wine was reasonable quality but was served way too warm. We didn't eat but the people on the next table said their food was nice.

I come here for lunch at least once a month. As they don't open til 12pm, it is generally quiet so that you can get a good seat in the window and people watch and you get your food served in a reasonable time. If you ask about food allergies, they always double check for you and we've never had a problem. Love the thai green curry - it's got a good kick!! Have never tried the gin menu despite saying every time that we must come in the evening! Good choice of beers if gin isn't your thing. They also hold an open mic night once a week.

My 20-something niece and nephew tell me that this is a fantastic gin-bar in the evenings. Unfortunately we were visiting at lunchtime with out 14 year old son. I was attracted to the pub by the great selection of gins and the Thai menu. We didn't get chance to sample either as we were asked to leave because "their licence doesn't allow children in the pub". They advertise a nice garden, but this wasn't offered to us. This is the first time in decades that I've heard of children not being allowed in a pub serving food.

Have been there many times & have always enjoyed the food & the beers. Went there with friends this weekend But was refused entry as one of our party ( a 17year old)was under 18. I tried to explain that she only wanted food, But their policy is no one is allowed ENTRY (even) if their under 18 years. This has now changed our attitude to this pub. So you can take you pet in but not your baby!!!!

Have been here many times over the years and usually every time we're in Brighton we pop in here as we just cannot resist!Came in on a Sunday - hot and sunny July day. Two young people serving behind the bar.Asked for my usual favourite Belgium strawberry beer - shock, horror - no longer sold :(So got a bottle of American bottled beer called "Blue Moon" - it's a beer I'd had before whilst on holiday in the USA but I didn't enjoy so much this time.Noticed a beautiful cat strolling in and tried to call it over - it wasn't interested but luckily for me it's owner was in, a lovely lady who brought the cat over to me for a stroke! I was in cat heaven :)We got talking about the gin menu and I was recommended one of the gins to try - didn't get around to it this visit but will do next time.I tried a cranberry sloe gin recently and now I love gin after hating gin all my life!!! lol Sloe gin is 100% different and quite sweet - if you select the right one and very, very tasty over ice.We ordered the satay tofu - £4.75 and our favourite prawn tempura £4.75 to share between us. I went to the ladies whilst waiting and that was an experience! It has been done up - at last - but it's smaller!! It was a tight squeeze in the loo and an even tighter one to wash my hands - lolThe food had already come when I got back to the table and it was delish. The tofu was so like chicken that I would not really have known if I'd been told I was eating chicken instead of tofu!The tempura was as gorgeous as it always is here - scrummy, wummy :)We will be back next time we're in Brighton!

Good selection of gins, Various gin cocktails tooGarden disappointing, more of a "yard" so not much fun on a lovely sunny dayGood atmosphere in the heart of the north lainesThai menu available, didn't try, went across the road to the tapas restaurant

Lovely location and good atmosphere inside. Had a few drinks and decided to order some food. Saw the tacky laminated menu on the table but thought we'd give it a go anyway. Thai food - we just ordered a mixed seafood starter for two, only £10 so thought it was fairly reasonable. Then it came. EVERY single thing on the plate was deep friend and/or covered in batter. Not even light batter just thick, greasy and not very pleasant. There was even a couple of deep fried mussels that were in their shell. We had had a few drinks but even for us the food was not enjoyable. Couldn't finish it was so bad. Thought I would mention to the guy who took the order but he responded with 'that's just how it comes.' PAH-defo won't be back!
