The Ranelagh in Brighton and Hove

Walking through Kemptown we stumbled across this place. Is very small but has a much needed and appreciated outside area. The barman was lovely & sitting there watching the world walk by in the sun enjoying cold alcoholic beverages was gorgeous.

Mi señora y yo visitamos este pub cuando estábamos en Brighton. Nos sentimos muy bienvenidos y había un ambiente muy relajado. La casera es una estrella y trata a todos con el mayor respeto. El personal también dio excelentes recomendaciones para bares locales y experiencias de vida nocturna. Volveré a este establecimiento cuando esté en Brighton. Definitivamente lo recomiendo!

Sadly I think closed now, but very friendly, fun area and pub. Lots of different types of food available in the area, and different types of entertainment and friendly lively bars.

Visité este lugar un par de veces cuando estuve en Brighton por un fin de semana. No tiene pretensiones, tiene los pies en la tierra y atrae a un público principalmente local. Tiene una pequeña área al aire libre, aunque no pudimos entender por qué las barandillas estaban cubiertas de malla verde translúcido. Todavía es posible ver a personas caminando en la carretera adyacente, pero ¿por qué la proyección?

Un fin de semana de escapada a Brighton, acabamos en este Pub para tomar unas cervezas y escuchar música. El ambiente era de gente mayor que nosotros, pero ciertamente muy acogedor y agradable. Actuaba un músico de blues/bluegrass, algo que agradecimos totalmente. La variedad de cerveza muy interesante, y el camarero tuvo el detalle de invitarnos a unas pintas. Al final acabamos la noche con el charlando sobre nuestros países. Al no comer allí, desconocemos la variedad de almuerzos o cenas. Si volvemos por Brighton, repetiremos.

Estábamos en un fin de semana en Brighton Kemptown en este pub anuncian y música en vivo. El pub en sí es pequeño y me sorprendió ver que tenían una banda de tres piezas de blues. La cerveza no era exactamente para mi gusto, pero bien. La banda no era demasiado ruidoso. No es un mal lugar.

Recientemente leí una reseña muy injusta de Ranelagh pero el Pub Spy escrito mientras estaba siendo redecorado, así que me siento obligado a compartir nuestra experiencia.Miserable tarde lluviosa - escuchó la música y decidió intentarlo. Casi nos fuimos enseguida, pero todos se abrieron paso para poder llegar al bar donde normalmente teníamos el maravilloso servicio de Brighton.No habíamos planeado quedarnos mucho tiempo, pero terminamos escuchando 3 bandas y un chico con guitarra acústica.Friendly multitud ecléctica, entusiastas músicos amables, personal agradable.¡Adoro vivir en Brighton!

Ha pasado un tiempo desde nuestra última visita. El personal del bar nuevo desde nuestra última visita, pero igualmente acogedor si no mejor si quieres una bebida sin lujos, con una gran máquina de discos y música en vivo, este es el lugar para ti. No puedo esperar para nuestra próxima visita a Brighton, así que puede volver.

ZERO, awfull staff, no atmosphere, used to be a warm and welcoming place, now sadly has as much charm as a tramps underwear, best avoided

Don't know why the photo is showing a thai restaurant, we were in the ranelagh on Saturday evening and it definitely is a pub!!!!!!!!!!!!What a scream, they had a band on "the southern blues kings" they were brilliant.rock&roll, swing, jazzfunk.our hosts pete and lauren made us feel very welcome, we only went in for a quick drink and stayed till closing time, it was that good.This weekend they have more guests performing so check them out, we are!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mi madre y yo visitamos este pub el viernes por la noche durante un fin de semana en Brighton. Nos recibieron con una sonrisa y el personal era muy amable. Tuvimos una conversación muy agradable con el caballero del bar sobre la historia del pub y los eventos que corren ahora.

Mi hija y yo visitamos aquí en nuestro viaje de fin de semana a Brighton. Yo nací aquí cuando mis padres acabaron el pub en los años 60 y tenía ganas de volver a visitar. Nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos por Peter, el director, y tenía una muy buena noche. Personaje pub local agradable. Ganas de volver! ! !

Always has great live music on, bar staff are very friendly. Good selection of beers and the beer garden is fab

Found this pub on our last night, great friendly atmosphere, great live music and the drinks were cheaper than brighton centre. A definite must stop off if visiting brighton.. very warm pub nice log fire.

A really good evening out, beer well cared for, clientele well watered, slighty lairy, great blues band - what's not to like?!

if you fancy to relax having your beer and listening good music every night this is your place then!nice customers for a nice pub, cosy and homely.perfect for meeting friends or simply going alone after work.my fav blues pub in town!

This is a quaint little pub. The staff and clientele are friendly. It has a small garden although they had the door shut so I couldn’t hear the live music. The downside of being a smoker, I guess.

Friday night blues although it looks as if it's blues night every day! Small little pub with patio area for smokers. Great blues and atmosphere real ale and friendly crowd. Worth a visit when in Brighton

Spent two nights in the Ranelagh listening to live music during a recent visit to Brighton. The atmosphere was lively and very friendly, a great time was had by all the group!

Good ale always available, friendly locals, it is a live music pub in the evenings, what more could you want!

A friendly pub with a warm welcome a good front garden area and place to watch the world go by. Worth a visit.

Every time i visit Brighton i cannot miss this awesome, friendly place. With quite a large sitting area outside, this is the right place for a quick afternoon pint or a long evening session. And I love the Jamaican beer :)

The Ranelagh is a pub in High Street Brighton.It is pleasant enough. I occasionally use it because, when I visit the UK, my wife and I stay with my sister-in-law who lives in High Street. When I have a beer, I usually smoke a small cigar and so the little garden of the pub proves useful.They play jazz there but I am not a particular fan of that genre so I havn't visited when the jazz sessions have been in progress.

After walking up st James we stopped for a drink at the ranelagh and sat in the front garden area.the staff were friendly and the service good and so were the drinks.well worth a visit.

My friends and I went to this pub on spec after a bike ride. Overall this place is understated and very chilledLocation: Being in Kemp Town this place is near to other bars and food places so very handyAtmosphere: On entering this pub the atmosphere felt a little flat however after 20-30 mins it became like a comfy pair of old slippers. The bob dylan music (prior to live music at 9pm), the pub dog wandering about and an open fire help a great deal. Staff / Services: All staff very friendly and helpful however the toilets are basic and the seating area limited.

1st time at the Ranelagh, very welcoming. A little small but just added to the quirkiness. Went to the Sunday Sessions which I believe are once a month.Definitely going again (as long as no work the next day) due to copious amounts of cider

This is such a welcoming place and the staff are fantastic. Great for an early evening drink and also an excellent live music venue a number of times a week. Lovely real fires in Winter and a large outdoor enclosed seating area.

It's got a cozy fire place and a pub dog what's not to like? They also have some decent beers. Also if you are a smoker you are in luck as they have a large open area.

great band playing there !!!! great choice of beer, good garden and always nice people in !!! one of those places in brighton that not everyone knows about and that's great

great for music and a nice garden coming out onto St James street. good location with a great atmosphere.

Happened to come here today because we could hear the music from nearby St James Road. Pleasant convivial little pub with above average musicians and welcoming easygoing crowd and staff.

This place has a great feel to it with loverly real ales and music. Nice garden so defo looking onto St James street so worth a look 100%

Not welcoming this particular evening. Poetry was not really that, just mad ramblings. Utter pretentious pants if I'm honest. So choose a night when there's decent music or no performers!

Just return from a weekend in Brighton and came across this place by chance. Stopped for a drink after a day and and found the had a blues band on that night so returned in the evening. Its only a tiny place but bar staff friendly and the band were great. Would definitely would return

Proper old fashioned little pub. Had a blues band on the night we were there who were very good apart from when one enthusiastic local wearing a western shirt joined in a burst my eardrums! Very cosy atmosphere.

If really good ales and (mostly) blues music is your cup of tea then visit this great little pub. Although it's a little on the small side for the amount of people within on any music night this only adds to the atmosphere. If you like your pubs with a "real" real about them then this is the place for you. Fast and friendly service at the bar and a great crowd even on a Sunday evening.Cheers!.

was greated by a friendly chap,had knowledge of the ales hes was selling,then a really hyper child starts running around doing karate chops at everyone,to much fizzy drinks,i left.decked out really nice probaly better experince at night

If you are in the Brighton area and like Blues music then visit this pub.Friendly atmosphere and good beer. Pub is on the small side but that is the only drawback.

Blues music, beer & a great atmosphere, what more could you ask for? How about friendly staff & meeting not only Dave but people from Bangkok & Hull. Before or after drink & music visit Sawadee the Thai restaurant close by.

Visited with friends after walking from Hove on the beach. Very good blues music, happy staff, great beer. It was the afternoon so nice and peaceful.

I loved this place which is basically a drinking persons pub and not usually my thing but push that aside and what is left is a pub with an amazing atmosphere. You will find live music every day bar Monday evening. Mostly blues. I love it and wish this pub was near to my home town.

I am fed up of having my enjoyment at the Ranelagh pub ruined by the drunks allowed to continue drinking when they are being a nuisance and even verbally abusing and physically threatening the musician trying to perform. I now dont look forward to visiting the pub as I never know what unpleasant and out of control person is going to be there. This has been going on for many months, even when Barry owned it. The landlord should refuse to serve drunk people and remove those who are harassing other customers and musicians

Very atmospheric. Loved the decor and blues guitar music. Outside seating if it is warm enough. Worth a stop off for a pint or two!

Located down a side street off the 'main' road in Kempton. The sound of a blues band ensured that it was worth looking in at (there had been quite a few pubs in the area that we gave a miss). Great atmosphere & the staff very friendly. The band 'The Blind Lemons' a local group were great, just wished we had found it earlier in the evening instead of the 'trendy' pubs in the centre of Brighton, and seen more of the act .

Stopped in on a walk by and was warmly welcomed by Barry, the owner/operator. Was made to feel "part of the family" and welcomed back a week later for another visit. When mt wife left her pusre over night by mistake, it was waiting there the next day with a pint as a "penalty". No finer in pub in Brighton.Calgary, Alberta, CANADA
