We happened to walk past here on our way to our hotel and heard 🤘music. Dropped our bags and ran straight back! Perfect way to spend NewYears Eve. The bands were awesome. We didn't get to try any of the vegan food, but there are plenty of beers at reasonable prices. The bartenders were attentive and the security staff were on top of it. Shout out to Thomas for running our new favorite Brighton metal / punk bar .

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The food in the restaurant is good. The chef clearly has talent and the service on the night we dined here was very professional - better than some restaurants in Brighton/Hove. We had a Groupon and the value with this offer was very good. You can't get away from the fact that this restaurant is in a hotel though and I feel the management could improve the experience if they want non residence to eat here. Firstly put table cloths on the table. Have some background music. Dim the lighting and cover over the fire door -just a net or curtain. The atmosphere in the restaurant does not make for a special occasion due to lack of the above. The food in taste and presentation is great. There is parking on site if you're lucky enough to get a space - but you can park opposite on the seafront. We drank in the bar first and if I went again I'd drink elsewhere first - purely because it is so obviously a hotel bar. Maybe background music; comfortable chairs; dimmer lighting - it just needs atmosphere as the staff were faultless

I visited the pub recently and had what started as a normal and relaxed experience. While ordering my drink, the beer barrel ran out just as my pint was nearly full. Out of curiosity — not to save money — I asked the barman if there was ever flexibility in cases like this. I was genuinely interested in how different pubs handle these situations, especially since some independent venues might agree to a fair adjustment. The barman explained they have fixed prices, which I fully accepted, and I paid for my drink in full without hesitation. Unfortunately, things escalated when another customer wrongly accused me of demanding a free drink and behaving entitled — which was completely untrue. I calmly tried to explain myself, but another person joined in, calling me insulting names. What shocked me most was that a staff member — who I was told is in charge of the rota and audits — not only failed to calm the situation but actually seemed to encourage the hostility. In an attempt to defuse the tension, I briefly mentioned that I have autism, hoping to provide some context for my communication style. Suddenly, the same staff member's attitude completely changed — but not in a good way. Instead of treating me with the same respect as any other customer, it felt as though she was now tailoring her behaviour around my condition, as if my autism had anything to do with what had happened. That made the situation feel even more patronising and uncomfortable. To make matters worse, it appeared this staff member had been drinking alcohol — I noticed her taking shots from the bartender during the afternoon. This raised serious concerns about professionalism, especially given her role in managing the rota and audits. I felt so unwelcome that I left without even finishing my drink. Frankly, I’m disgusted by how I was treated — not just by customers, but by a staff member who should know better. This wasn’t just poor customer service; it was a complete failure in handling a situation fairly and respectfully. I understand that pubs can get lively, but there’s no excuse for hostility, false accusations, and singling someone out based on a disability. I hope this was an isolated incident, but I felt it was important to share my experience honestly. Update (⭐): Management’s response sadly confirms the issue... The response from management only confirms the lack of professionalism I experienced. I was calm, paid in full, and expressed curiosity — not entitlement. The attempt to twist my words and bring up false history after I raised a concern is deeply disappointing and reveals more about their conduct than mine. This is why I won't be returning.
