It's one of my favourite pubs in Brighton. The pub offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for a relaxing evening out. The drink selection is impressive, featuring a variety of local beers and well-crafted cocktails. While The Temple Bar doesn't make its own food, Noah's Smash Burgers, which have taken over the kitchen, are absolutely delicious. The burgers are juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, making them a standout. The service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who made sure we had everything we needed. The Temple Bar is a great spot to unwind and enjoy quality drinks and fantastic burgers in Brighton.

I came here a few weeks ago with a friend They grabbed a pint and I did the same but with a cheese burger . Unfortunately when I had my first bite it was very average the kinda food I can get anywhere also the blue cheese sauce was watered down with vinegar it was actually disgusting thinking about it

Great pub, lots going on. It's not cheap but its city centre so fair enough really. The staff that I met were all really friendly and helpful. I didn't eat but the food I saw looked great. Lots of info about allergy stuff too so it looks like they are really well set up for that (I have a daughter with some really serious allergies so I tend to notice that even if she's not with me!)

A lively pub and a Brighton institution that has taken quite a few guises over the years. Not much has changed in timers of the feel of the place which is a good thing. Quite lively on most days of the weeks and there is some outdoor seating too on the main drag. The beers weren’t too bad and were priced fairly averagely for town.

Honestly, I'm so disappointed 😞 I live in Central of Hove, but usually after nice diner we finish evening on this pub... Today, the first time I felt that is so racist place... We spent there about 3 hours there, and ordered a lot of drinks.. when the owner comes to help close, we ask for a last drink, and she said no soree are close..that's very enough... but then she serves 2 another couple.. when I asked for a last drink, she said I'm not local, so she doesn't serve me.. because we spoke in polish all the ⏲️ or what was the reason... really not nice lady ... Highly not recommended this place...

The following is an exchange of emails following a recent visit to the Temple Bar “My wife and I popped into your bar on our way home from shopping (something we often do) We ordered two glasses of Rioja (medium). We were both surprised to find the wine was Luke warm. Both were returned to the bar, we spoke to the chap on duty and explained the wine was undrinkable. While the chap was polite, he also appeared uninterested saying “We serve red wine at room temperature”. This might be appropriate when the temperature is @16 - 19C but not when the room temperature is 30+. I asked if there was a manager on duty but apparently there was not, it was clear we were not going to resolve matter so we left. I appreciate this very hot weather is unusual but it is not unheard of and I would have hoped some effort would be made to serve wine in a drinkable condition” Reply “Thank you very much for reaching our regarding your concerns. It pains me to tell you via email that, yes, in fact we do serve the red wine at room temperature even when there’s a continuous heatwave. I’d like to take the opportunity to inform you that upon request, we would happily have provided you with some ice to counter the issue. However since you seem to believe the staff member was uninterested - I will take the opportunity to remind you that upon working in 30+ degree heat, staff may appear fatigued and tired. I trust you can understand this. Would be happy to provide you with ice next time you choose to visit Temple Bar - we will welcome you with open arms” My reply “Many thanks for your prompt response, I’m not sure why it would pain you to tell me you serve red wine at room temperature (even if that room temperature is 30C) unless of course you are acknowledging is is the wrong thing to do. Your advice regarding putting ice in red wine clearly indicates this is not a drink you enjoy. I do take the point about staff working in hot conditions, as I said in my original email, he was perfectly polite, just appeared uninterested in our feedback and two undrinkable glasses of wine which we had paid for but we’re unable to drink”.

Turned up on a Sunday without booking so we were very happy to get a seat for a roast. The food took a little while to come out but they kept us updated and also added a slice of beef to our 2 pork roasts so no complaints from me! The portions were very hearty and thoroughly enjoyed. We also got the pigs in blankets wheel which was delicious. The only downside was no coffee machine and 2 points of coke cost £7! But would definitely go back again for another mammoth roast 😁

Security here seem to think they’re guarding the chamber of secrets when it is in fact, any old pub. Particularly a woman who I think goes by Laura who went out of her way to stop me on my way back out of the pub to say she didn’t like my attitude when she checked my id. I’m 22 but I’m aware that I look young so genuinely don’t mind people checking over my id in detail, sorry that I wasn’t jumping for joy while she checked over it like 3 times and whispered to other bouncers that they didn’t believe me. Not sure what she was expecting me to do as I honestly wasn’t rude until the first place? Once confirmed my id is legitimate and I’ve already been in the pub, how unprofessional to stop me mid exit and try to embarrass me. AVOID much better pubs nearby where the staff aren’t picking on people

Visited here for a Sunday roast with a few friends. A very nice pub and lovely seating area out the front. Staff weren’t particularly friendly but pleasant enough. My friends ordered the lamb / beef roasts and enjoyed those. I ordered a chicken roast. Not very fussy with this kind of thing but the chicken legs still had feathers in and the chicken was so salty that i couldn’t eat it. Also had quite an odd chewy texture to it which wasn’t pleasant. However the potatoes, yorkshire puddings and all the veg were really lovely. Definitely much better places for a roast in Brighton and Hove so probably won’t be back for a roast dinner but lovely for a drink

Despite her Harley Quinn appearance, she was helpful and welcoming. We ordered two corona and two burritos with aubergines ,mushrooms and chickpeas. We enjoyed lunch outdoors (according to covid rules) looking at some passers-by with a purely bizarre style. One of them was a mix between the Penguin (Batman's enemy) and plague doctor ...

An update to my previous review from a few months ago. We have ordered several times since the first review was left and whilst the food has always been really, really good, we have had to wait nearly 2 hours for each order despite ordering around 1800 each time. No apology when I called to check where the food was and nothing from the driver dropping off the food. No updates during the process and we had to call twice to chase our meal before it then finally arrived. Appreciate it is usually a Friday or Saturday when we order, but when it states 45mins for delivery that is then confirmed as 1 hour at point of order, that then takes 2 hours, the order really should just be cancelled or at least a courtesy phone call to update. Will think twice about ordering again from here, despite the great food. Disappointing as the food is really awesome, the service just doesn't match. (Previous review - Superb meal delivered last night. The best takeaway Indian meal we have had in a very long time, having tried a few others locally. Definitely recommended and will be ordering again soon 👍)

I was being told for 45 minutes it was in the status of being packaged. I had already paid and was told I could not get a refund or I would have left at 8:10. I asked for a discount and was given £20 by an argumentative guy. Avoid.

Really nice food, very generous portion sizes and overall average service, some staff seemed distressed which was clear to the customers. Also can get very hot during this time of year as the small top windows don't allow for much of a breeze, overall a good experience and the dishes we had were great (chicken tikka masala, garlic king prawn, rice is good too).
