The Paris House in Brighton and Hove

Everything about this place is too much. There's too much going on. However, it feels like they are not really sure what vibe they want to go for. Also, there are a lot of people that go here that look the same, so maybe confused and sloppy is the way they want. When the bands are playing, it's loud and cluttered. Truly lucky to get 2 stars in all honesty.

Charge £9 a pint when it’s Saturday and a dj plays for some reason.

Great place for live music with a lively atmosphere and helpful staff.

Looks like it’s going to be really nice and cozy from the outside. It really average inside with nothing special going on in terms of drinks or comfy seats

This was the highlight of our wknd, on Saturday afternoon! We didn't eat but were v impressed by the simple fresh quality of plates (and diners rold us it was delicious). We went for the live music. Staff were cheerful, the crowd was so lovely, music was great, drinks were a good price. V dreamy and wonderful. I'm so looking forward to going again.

Brilliant pub,one of my favourites if not my favourite in the great Brighton/Hove area. The staff here are great and I love the music, especially the wonderful jazz. There's something almost addictive about the atmosphere of this great feeling pub, all the best to you great friendly easy-going people, hope to visit again soon 😊

Awesome place. Live music, great atmosphere, great service and reasonable prices.

Great to see live (and excellent) music, even though they had to keep the doors closed on a hot and sweaty evening.

A pleasant atmosphere offering a variety of drinks

Fantastic evening the DJ Andy The Dandy was amazing took me back to when I was young. Well done to the br staff to they were brilliant, helpful and very friendly.

Nice characterful pub. Some real ale such as Harvey's.

I have been there a few times it's ok for a small pub but they really need to have a deep clean the place is absolutely filthy there is so much dust everywhere . Plus they have a french flag on the ceiling and it looks like it's been dragged though the dirt

Friendly staff and customers. Marvellous live music.

I like it in there I have not tried their food A nice atmosphere and friendly staff

Super service. Really great staff and charcuterie...a great supporter of live music. Check this place out.

Lovely atmosphere with live jazz on a Monday afternoon. You really could be in France. I went to use the gents and they have taken the Parisian theme a bit too far trying to create the feel of a street pissoir on a damp day and a toilette sans seat for the derrière. Expensive beer but you’re paying for the entertainment which is fine. Well worth visiting.

Great music on the Thursday ,dancing on the cards rather than chatting !

A great venue for live music and a very good selection of beers wines and spirits.

All time favourite place in Brighton. Come here year over year to chill and visit this place. Get here early for the music if you have not booked. Decent wine for the price. Staff are attentive and kind.

Great Persian atmosphere, with local music on open mic night.

Fantastic local pub in Hove. Quiz night was great.

Very nice but noisy pub. Enjoy the beers. Handy for eating across the road.

Getting same old same old. General vibe has deteriorated as well

Amazing place with amazing musicians and delicious atmosphere!

First of all,what a great pub.Have been past a few times,but having dined nearby,decided to pop in.Lovely place with a lot of buzz about it.I ordered a pint and a large glass of Pinot Gris.£18 and some change!! What? I asked the barmaid to break down the cost as the wine prices were marked.It turns out they have an extra charge when there is a DJ!! Customers pay,All Night,for the Music,Why? Great DJ and music ,but if ur packing them in,which they most definitely are,why are we paying? Its not cheap in the first place

Didn't have food so can't comment, great atmosphere, drinks and live music.

Nice pub, serving a great range of drinks and draught beers. Shame they don't have proper gin glasses!

No experience with the food and service like any other pub. Love the atmosphere and live music.

We were looking for a place with live music, and found it! We went on a Sunday evening when Polito Boogaloo were playing. They are a Colombian dance band. Fantastic get you up out of your seat music. Everyone got up to dance. The Paris House is a small pub, with French styling, I believe there were French bar staff, well according to my partner. We stuck with Symmonds cider although there is a huge wine list available. We chose two toasties from the menu, which is small but has enough on for most people. The toasties arrived with a salad garnish. Very very tasty toasties. This place has a nice relaxed vibe, definitely no pretentiousness here. A good mix of people which adds to the welcoming atmosphere, this is something I think the owners should be proud of. My only criticism was the dust. I'm so sorry, but I've never seen so much dust anywhere. I convinced myself that it adds to the ambience I loved this place that much. But, as food is served here maybe give a good clean of these areas. We would most definitely be back however. Oh I've only given 4 stars purely because of the dust issue. Sort that and you'd be a 5!!

great little place to eat and drink. The food is spot on with excellent service. It has a real french feel to it.

Unfriendly, unprofessional and unapologetic staff and atmosphere

Management have no control over rowdy customers. There are always fights outside as well as incredibly loud customers and no one is doing anything about it. The music is way too loud and plays all day every day without respect for sociable hours. If you’re going to insist on turning your pub into a club on weekends, invest in some soundproof doors and windows. All neighbours are incredibly unhappy with this place so I wouldn’t recommend. If I could give them no stars I would. Edit: I would like to add that they have since stopped answering phones when I’ve kindly asked them to close their front door during the day due to the loud noise their music and their customers make. I have also had the absolute displeasure of speaking to the owner who was not only incredibly rude but also unwilling to compromise and be neighbourly. I would never make such a fuss over a little noise but this place is beyond disruptive to everyone’s day and night. I have been told to move or go somewhere else to work if I am unhappy with the noise by the owner himself. He also basically forced me to tell him where I live so my argument was justified in his eyes. This is beyond creepy and very very upsetting.

Come on, 12% uplift on Camelford drinks?!? S h o c k I n g

Music, DJ, food and atmosphere is perfect. Interesting people, staff and locals it's all so friendly and inviting. Music is spot on perfect for dancing to...what a way to spend the nite pure class.

Quirky little pub with lovely staff and some great love music nights

Live music & a group performing 'Sheroc' dance, together with individuals given 'the floor' to sing their favourite Blues or Jazz songs from way-back-when. A Monday afternoon, though creating an atmosphere of post-work Friday - pure pleasure.

I usually go there on a Monday afternoon to hear jazz. A really congenial atmosphere...mainly for retirees like me...The staff are very pleasant...and the jazz is good...love it!

A perfect escape from the daily routine! A gem worth taking the walk from central Brighton to Hove. The Paris House oozes with eclectic atmosphere, friendly staff and a great choice of beverages. The food menu is small, but it does the trick. It’s a super way to experience how the locals live, sing and dance…..especially on a Monday Jazz afternoon! Go on pop in for one….

wee wee I err loved err the le froncey beeros on tapos haha only jokin. cracking wee boozer.

Tiny pub with great old school vibe to it

Quirky pub with great music, both live and recorded, good selection of wines, a decent pint of Harveys and lively crowd of all ages and persuasions.

Vile staff ! I visited yesterday afternoon and found the staff very unwelcoming. The two staff members were chatting when I walked in and completely ignored me while I stood at the bar and continued their conversation as if I was invisible. I was the only person in the bar so one would think they would be grateful for the custom.

Amazing live music always a good time! A bit hot when the room is busy but worth it!

Great atmosphere and excellent service in this slightly scruffy but excellent pub.

What a great afternoon with some pints out side and great live jazz.. another great day in Brighton as always..

This is a brilliant pub, wonderful atmosphere and, very often, great music. The staff are absolutely lovely. The only down side is that it gets too crowded when there are bands on - it can't be helped that it's so popular, but the squash isn't always appealing.

Nice pub not far from the front with a French theme. Good gigs and decent beer.

Great pub, very busy with a lovely atmosphere & fantastic live blues music band, well worth a visit 👍😊

Went to a Monday afternoon jazz session. Nice! Friendly locals ,Good service, great music. Really great !

Monday afternoon jazz session was fabulous

Love this local place, it has a great atmosphere and such brilliant music. Good selection of wines and beers and cheese and meat platters. Dog Friendly.

Nette Atmosphäre, tolle Livemusik, sehr zuvorkommende Kellner.

I love the Paris House! Lovely atmosphere, amazing staff and brilliant music. No better place to while away an afternoon. Couldn't recommend it enough

Great music fabulous atmosphere

A great bar, amazing atmosphere, music and food.

Briiliant detective work by your staff led to my son and GF being reunited with her missing bag containing keys, 2 (screen locked) phones, wallet and purse. Many thanks!

Avoid if you can, so many great bars in Brighton but this one has gone downhill over the last year. Brunswick is much better

A fantastic New year's Eve at the Paris House. Great music and a fantastic atmosphere

Lovely pub ,great atmosphere and live music with plenty of drinks options

Lovely welcoming mulled wine scent, very busy. Recommend pre-booking.

Great lovely French atmosphere pub. They had some amazing jazz on a Monday afternoon that was magical. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. I had a lovely time. I'm looking forward to going again.

Great fun when there is music! (Which is very often)

Great pub, great atmosphere, free music (prices higher than normal). Small and often crowded.

I love this place! There isn’t another pub like it in Brighton or London. Unique, bohemian, with a splash of nostalgia, much fun and great music.

Overpriced, quality of service is terrible, the crowd it attracts are very scummy, one threatened me

Lovely local, with the bonus of great Belgian craft beer vibes 👌

Great pub. Fantastic atmosphere. Good beer. Nice staff. great crowd. Dancing crows . Great jazz…. What more do you want from a Saturday night?

Great pub, great staff great live music

Love this little bar. Beautiful and friendly with outdoor seating and great atmosphere 👌

I gave this a 5* as we had a lovely time, only drinks no food. It helped the weather was great & we could sit outside. Jazz band were awesome & really made the evening. The only slight negative comment is that when my partner went to the bar the barmaid totally ignored him , she didn't make any eyecontact, no customer service whatsoever. A couple of regulars said the pub is a bit 'clicky' but the person that served me was nice. Usual Brighton astronomical prices for wine/beer but a great little pub.

Brilliant pub. Excellent staff and great craic!

Very unique establishment. Everything from live music to dj’s to quiet evenings. Never know what I’ll get, but always interesting.

Great fun. Nice staff, good selection of drinks and excellent food

This is the right place to go for live music in Hove! Fabulous acts and great atmosphere!

Belgian beers and gypsy jazz, this place was made for me.

Live music all week. Nice atmosphere.

Yesterday was jazz day a monday the music was excellent and the pub was packed to the gills with punters windows were opened and door to allow air to circulate a very enjoyable experience.

A busy pub with a great atmosphere - quality live music - excellent wines - good beers both English and Continental and lots of people who “get it”! Je t’aime.

This used to be one of my favourite pubs in brighton. When I went there this week they have replaced the seating with the most uncomfortable stools known to man, the music was dull and there were no ales available. Hopefully this just a bad night

Klimatyczne miejsce z muzyką na żywo. Fajna obsługa. Naprawdę daje rade 👍

We had a top evening at le pub after the marathon. Great selection of drinks and great vibe, exactly what I would want from a French take on a pub. Unfortunately we missed the live music but the in house playlist was quality. The staff were really friendly and let us stay in after closing time whilst they cleaned everything up.

Good atmosphere, wouldn't let me steal a pint glass.

Great little pub for live music!!

Love the funky disco sets on Saturday nights. Sometimes a bit packed and hard to find a table, but I usually go to dance so who cares?

A lovely old pub, with lovely young staff.

Great music pub, grand old high ceilings and music hall wooded floors, lovely big pieces of furniture, huge baroque mirror and a nice bar with plenty of helpful, friendly and quick barmen and girls. The simple menu is perfect and the pâté of the day was truly delicious and enough for at least 2 people served with loads of different breads, pickles and relishes. It’s not fancy - I was seriously overdressed - great music - the night I went was Fukushimo Dolphin.

Sadly no music on the night we visited, but a very cool vibe, and highly recommended.

Great, busy, vibrant, fun exciting place on a Friday night

Good music on Thursday and super nice atmosphere but really pricy

Wow! Authentic vibes, real jazz and an array of swinging tunes. Atmosphere=impeccable. Perfect day or evening out, an ideal date location and a hotspot for good beer and wine.

Good music good service, unique bar francais

Cool pub, I felt like the guy on the right of this picture though - dull Friday night vibe

Devoid of atmosphere. The numerous fruit flies showed me more interest than the staff. Good to see that Brighton's street drinking community have found a warm spot to sup in. All this and a bargain £7 for a pint of IPA

Great if you love live music then go its a snug venue , with great wine selection as well

So festive, friendly and fizzy. One of the best pubs in Brighton.

Live music and a bustling atmosphere

not sure if it was the owner but the guy presenting the live music last weekend was a coked-up tosser. The live music was excellent but the guy running the event was aggressive to customers and was an embarassment to the business really. the majority of the audience seemed to be in mutual agreement they wouldn't be returning. lost probably about 30 future customers to an otherwise cool venue

Very sweaty but friendly vibe 🙂

Over priced drinks. £7 for a pint of IPA and £6.80 for a pint of Peroni. Happy to pay over the odds for a special experience but there wasn’t even a band playing. Just your average bar (in need of some TLC), nothing special. Nice friendly staff but apart from that nothing to rave about.

I love it here. Friendly staff, lots of pastis choices and an extensive wine list. Excellent music and great food too. A regular haunt when visiting Brighton and Hove.
