The Pipeline in Brighton and Hove

The place itself seemed like it would be right up my street, sadly this was not the case. The website states 'our kitchen is always open' however on arriving, we were told they only serve food on Fridays and over the weekend. Service felt a little standoffish - perhaps only fully welcoming to locals. Nice beer, though.

Such a great find!! Beer is cold and the setting is memorable!!

A great place to see bands in the small room upstairs. Punky, hot & sweaty in a very good way. Beer choice could be better (cask ale?) but there are a couple of 'craft' options. Amazing location, central but tucked away from the hen parties and day trippers. Proper old skool!

Love this venue. Great food and great music

Atmosphere cosy local music 🎵 Great minds think alike 😎😎😎

Great night of music and new friends, found my spiritual home.

The Pipeline is one of my favourite bars in Brighton. The bar staff are great, the music's loud (it is a rock bar after all!), and they have an excellent range of shots!

Absolutely traditional rock pub....can't recommend it highly enough. Friendly bar, friendly punters, friendly staff, reasonably priced drinks and the coolest music stage upstairs.

had a lovely evening here last night for my boyfriends birthday! lovely little bar, had a table of 7 with food and the food was very nice! good music, friendly atmosphere.. would recommend!

Loved visiting here for a midweek gig, a small cosey venue with friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere!

Food? Service? Leave it out! It’s a gig venue! And a very good one, at that. It’s tiny, but the sound is great, the people are nice and the drinks aren’t too expensive. Always have good bands and promoters here, decent equipment. A great place all round. Clapp

Great venue for bands. Very overpriced beer. Get drunk elsewhere before coming..

In a small room above the bar you will find a venue that some how contains some of the biggest sounds on the south cost. Often hosts the best gigs on n the south of England making the train journey for London well worth it - when there isn’t a train strike these always a late train to get you home.

Incredibly welcoming...I can't compliment the bar staff well enough. Honestly don't act like an entitled tourist and you'll be fine

Have been here for many gigs in the upstairs room, but I haven't tried the food yet (I've heard very good things however) The staff are always super nice, the selection of drinks is good and it's nice knowing everything is vegan so I don't have to check, and the sound is great for a small venue. Some of the most intense and sweaty moshpits I've been in have been at The Pipeline, due to the intimate gig space. When it's packed out it's a great atmosphere, and it's a great place to discover up and coming acts.

Wonderful little bar. Great little music venue, really amazing staff and great atmosphere.

Excellent music, awesome food, and Leo the Bar Manager is to Die for 😍

Great little pub in Brighton . Went to find it for vegan food as is 100% plant based meals . Staff were very friendly and recommended the food that I had.

Hidden away, this gem of a rock bar is definitely one to visit. The bar area is fairly small, but they have an area upstairs that houses bands. Didn't have time to go up and have a watch, but sounded good. Drinks were cheap and the music was good. Next time I'm in the area will definitely be visiting again.

Really cool little venue, gigs are held upstairs in the attic type area and it’s a really unique space. Sound is always great and the techs always go crazy with the lighting, the whole place doesn’t feel like it takes itself too seriously and invites you to have fun, I always enjoy gigs here and it’s a definite must visit if you’re in Brighton.

Fantastic old-school off-beat rock pub with a delicious all-vegan menu of small meals. The atmosphere here is second only to the lovely staff. Love it!

Only 1 star reviews for venues and pubs that have single use plastic glasses. Several pubs have tough reusable ones for a 50p deposit, so it's entirely possible. Other than that, it's a great small venue and pub.

I can’t comment on the food or the quality of the gigs, but a place that declines toilet to a 5 yo cannot be a place to recommend.

Cooler Laden. Bisschen hell für einen Pub. Coole Leute

Visited to attend a gig. Didn't stay long.

Entered basically by accident and was happy to find myself in the the middle of an amazing concert. Sound was incredible for auch a small venue. Beer was good too :)

Nice staff, just a very small venue for gigs. Would suggest bringing earplugs.

Great pub with excellent gig space upstairs. Fab vegan hotdogs and burgers 🍔

Great little venue in the heart of brighton for independent bands.

Great place hidden from main road. I really like the look and atmosphere. Always some unusual spirits and beers. And it's only getting better.

I played a show here with my band Karab a few weeks ago, the venue is intimate but has everything you could need, the crowd and other local bands to Brighton were great, really went for it. I had a blast. The staff were so friendly, completley made my night and the vegan food was incredible. I went for a 'duck' wrap and it was soo good. Cannot recommend enough. If you are in Brighton drop in.

Can't fault the Pipeline it's like the classic old music/rock/punk pubs that used to be so common before gentrification wiped them out, especially in London. Really friendly staff here and the food though Vegan is excellent (after all how much meat is there in a bl**dy normal hotdog). The vibe is such that if you want an alternative style pub that really has an eclectic mix this is the place to go in Brighton.

Fully vegan venue with a great menu at very reasonable prices. Decent selection of beers and a real rock n roll vibe.

Pipeline is a hidden gem just round the corner from the pier, serving vegan food, I had an amazing double bacon burger, great value for money. They have a punk and rock/heavy metal jukebox downstairs and a small live venue space upstairs with you can catch local and international touring bands alike!

Amazing! The food is to die for... could have easily eaten it 10 times over!

Nice venue with the plus of a vegan only menu.

Friendly people Myself and my friend had a blast I paid shots for everybody and it didn't cost much will definitely come bac

It's great. Even when Geoff is there

Very friendly staff. Nice little venue for seeing bands.

Super cool place. The staff is lovely ans their vegan options -- delicious! Great vibes and music too 🤘

Everything about this place is great. Thank you so much everyone !

Nice pub, very friendly staff and very good live music and when not playing there is still the good old music box.

Great little punk rock venue just off Brighton Sea front.

Great little rock bar on a quiet little side street behind Brighton Town Hall. It is super-friendly with lovely staff and regulars who will often converse with you. They have a fantastic vegan menu and the music is always rockin'! I have resolved to visit more often in the future. Highly recommended! 🤩

Great feel. Back tomorrow evening 😉

Surprised you can still find a bar like this in Brighton these days. Great atmosphere, great staff obviously it's quite small but that just adds to the charm I find you talk to people a lot more! Keep up with the band's too I've seen some great bands here and you can tell they care about the music! One of my favourites.

TOOOO Loud !!!!!!! And annoying!!!!!!

Very small corner bar in the Lanes. Loud vintage Rock music if that's your thing. Eclectic but friendly crowd, bar staff friendly, drinks selection ok, in plastic glasses

A REAL rootsy rock venue in the most plastic of towns. Downstairs for nice staff, great food and drink. Usually the promise of a small band upstairs which has a full sound system. I spoke to the manager who had GENUINE enthusiasm for the gigs. I found it refreshing and down to earth.

For a tiny bar they have a lot of great drinks to offer (they even had more than one non alcoholic beer available!). The vegan food menu here is great too. I had one of their hot dogs and my wife had their "Brody Dalle" burger both were really tasty. The upstairs venue is exactly what you want from a punk rock venue.

cool little Rock bar, music venue that originated from East london fairly close to Liverpool street station! the Chap who owns the music venue is Sweedish for all his Sins! if you like punk music then your like this bar! ENJOY!!!

Just around the corner, your friendly neighbourhood metal bar. Feel at home, while sipping a brew, a gin, or a fine white wine. Heaven in your mouth and in your brain. Come back for more ! Forget about the brain, just come back!

Nice surprise to find this kind of venue as we were heading back to our hotel & took a wrong turn Excellent independent pub

Great little venue. Long may it continue

Intimate venue, friendly staff, good beer, GREAT music...what's not to like??

fantastic service, good banter with the staff and excellent music. We came with a big group on Saturday evening and had a blast! Would recommend

Beautiful food cracking service will certainly be returning soon

Very friendly atmosphere. Good food and dog friendly. Would recommend.

Great night out here, welcoming, live bands, great prices, The vegan food was amazing. Would 100% recommend this for a great night out

Really great pub with great music, at the bar and live bands upstairs. A place I always visit when in Brighton

I visited a few years ago when V bites ran the Vegan only venue. As an omnivore, I was impressed with V bites. However now the food is not worth it, insipid and no care or passion. Great music venue, terrible food. Bring back V bites.

Excellent service and great pub all round! Friendly, welcoming staff which greeted us immediately on arrival. No trouble finding a decent seat. Drinks arrived minutes after ordering and food arrived in good time. Excellent plant based/vegan pub. Well priced! Good music and atmosphere.

That's my second time and it is soooo yammmi.. love the food, the music and the atmosphere.. Google indicated as if we couldn't sit in, but the place is fully open for business and the team are very friendly!!!

Loved the food, particularly the names :)

Cosy pub. Excellent friendly sraff

Great covid-19 restrictions in place. Friendly staff

Great venue, great pub, and awesome vegan food + the best jukebox in town

Basic fake meat burgers etc. Friendly service.

Lovely atmosphere. Great drinks. Great staff. Music is very loud but that's my only complaint.

What a lovely place. 100% vegan and you can't even tell. Its worth a visit. We tried the burgers, cheesy chips, and the kebab. We tried the beef and chicken burgers. Preferred the chicken Patti but both were delicious. Thanks

Over priced a bottle of wine is 22 pounds paind 16 for 2 large glasses. Awful service and charged fpr pinot griogio a merlot nevet again

Great pub with upstairs band venue

Excellent music venue small and intimate

Had a lovely experience Saturday night. Wonderful staff great atmosphere. Lionel the door man... what a joy!! Absolute star and character! Cheers guys!!

Pleasant staff, good honest food. Excellent for vegans.

Excellent pub. Great place for live bands. Great jukebox with plenty of punk hardcore & thrash. Good selection of vegan booze & food. Really friendly staff as well. Top place.

Banging.. Great bands and great jukebox......

Beautiful vegan food, great value for money, loved it

Great vegan food and at a good price.

100% Vegan. they make nice sweet potato fries. Tiny bar they have live band upstairs sometimes.

El mejor sitio para tomar algo y escuchar muy buena musica. Tiene gramola para elegir la musica! Si tienes suerte igual haya algun concierto.

Doesn't look all that appealing but it certainly has Great food and lovely staff :) and they allow dogs

Hands down. One of the best places in Brighton for Vegan food. I'd reccomend the Suzie Quattro burger with a pint of stout. Can't wait to come back.

Excellente punk pub; schnoz Duke box. Love it

Amazing burger! Don't let the appearance deter your! Wow

Best vegan burger I've had in Brighton, there have been many contenders.

Great little venue with fantastic vegan-only junk food - the burgers are amazing!

Great venue for music and drink

The jukebox needs more metal... other the that what a venue!! The staff were nothing but amazing, I order 2 plates of the vegan nachos which were sublime and arrived in such a timely manner. We came here tonight for a mates birthday to finish but next time I will be here to start for sure.

Still a totally amazing place, and food is great too 😃

Very decent pub - ALL staff were friendly and professional, even the security who seemed at ease and welcoming. Beer was v good and the customers were all fine people who were respectful. Well run pub in the heart of the city.

Really good coffee here, I had an Americano with a vegan breakfast sandwich. Both were delicious.

Great music venue pub just a few minutes walk from Brighton pier. Super cool juxebox greets you as you enter with pinball machines and live music upstairs. Plenty of interesting beers and vegan food menu.

Great place, Great food, Great Jukebox & sometimes has some great gigs

Best community feel in this pub and great live music.

Great, friendly pub. Food is all vegan, well priced and delicious. Cracking juke box. A great place to visit

Nice little boozer, great, intimate venue for live performances. Smallish, but tasty selection of beers. Vegan menu looks good - meat-free takes on pub munchies. Will have to check that out.

Great place, but Thomas won't let me achieve my life long ambition of a gin in a tin blanket.

Nice pub. Ok choice of beers. Not too big and has some outside seating. Right in the center of town but Doesn't get too busy. They sometimes have live shows upstairs that are a lot of fun. Never eaten there so can't comment on that. Staff seemed alright from what I remember. Not many places left like this so I hope it sticks around. Ver close the beach and very close the posh lanes. I recommend going to check it out.

I come from London.. . I ALWAYS dive in here for the decadent animal free food and awesome rock music and very welcoming staff !! Long may you reign The Pipeline!!!!
