The Worlds End in Brighton and Hove

think escape rooms can be a bit hit and miss but loved this one!! really good atmosphere and a couple of jumps, loved the design of the rooms. Theo was a great host not over bearing but left good hints when necessary. Thank you!!

Me and my partner came here to do the escape room & also went in the arcade for a bit to play some games as we got there early to grab a drink, ‘Theo’ our host for the escape room kindly greeted us in the arcade and let us know he was ready earlier than expected and we could start when we were ready. He was very kind and helpful, we were able to complete the escape room with 1min22 to spare! Thank you to Theo for being a wonderful host

We went to the escape room upstairs, and later went to the arcade. It’s a beautiful place with a wonderful atmosphere, lighting, set up, even a photobooth. The arcade was so fun and old-timey, we had such great fun. The escape room was FANTASTIC, hard but not too hard, just right. Big shout out to Theo who was awesome. He made our escape room experience super memorable and I love the vibes of this place! Highly recommend for everybody.

This was a new find for us. Despite being older than most of the clientele, it was fun, a great vibe and very welcoming. Lots of drink choices and the arcade - brilliantly old school.

MURDER MYSTERY ESCAPE ROOM WAS AWESOME!!

What a fantastic place. So much to see and do! The staff were friendly, the food was on point and I will definitely be returning! Would give more than 5 stars if possible 😁

New owner really knows what she's doing. Great vibe and loving all the new events happening.

Had an escape room experience. Was very challenging especially for just 2 people but the groundskeeper (Theo) was very helpful and gave us hints only when necessary. Stayed in character and was very pleasant after we "escaped"

Had a great escape room murder mystery experience, was alot of fun and highly rate

I decided to come down to Brighton from London to celebrate my birthday and stumbled upon this absolute gem of a pub. Firstly I must give a huge shout out to the manageress Taryn for her incredible hospitality. She was absolutely brilliant. Welcoming and polite, She treated me and my group of friend with most excellence. The staff behind the bar were fun and engaging and the atmosphere of the pub in general was epic!! The highlight of the evening was definitely the racetrack!!!! Thank you so much again for accommodating us and even making sure we got or Ubers back to the hotel. Will absolutely recommend this fine establishment and I'll defiantly be back next time I'm in Brighton

Best bar in Brighton New drinks all the time back terrace front benches and an amazing retro arcade upstairs what more can you ask for !!!

Food used to be amazing here. Proper vegan options now everyrhing tastes plastic.

Midday on a Saturday and denied entry due to not having an ID. Rude security!

Always a cracking little spot for a beer and a couple games 😎 perfect little date night spot

Moustache guy very rude and super racist. This local didn’t let us order only because we were not english. The guy told us our ID were not valid, only because it was an spanish ID. Wow, this is something that have never experienced before. Feel very upset and frustrated.

Went here as part of a hen do weekend. Food was tasty and there's a good menu choice. Games upstairs were really fun especially the car racing!

Nice that it has movie night, arcade games, quiz night etc - I like a nice themed pub but with the Dice Saloon just around the corner there's no excuse for this pub not to up its board game... er... game!

Nice bar friendly staff good food

The World’s End Pub in Brighton is a popular spot known for its vibrant atmosphere and extensive entertainment options, including a retro arcade, a 10-person remote-controlled race track, and various board games. However, while the overall vibe and the friendly staff receive high marks, there are notable areas for improvement, particularly with the food and drinks. ### Atmosphere and Entertainment The pub’s lively atmosphere is a major draw, enhanced by its unique gaming options. Patrons can enjoy an engaging and fun-filled environment, making it an ideal place for both casual hangouts and special gatherings. The friendly and knowledgeable staff contribute positively to the experience, ensuring that guests feel welcome and well taken care of. ### Food and Drinks Despite the exciting atmosphere, the food and drinks at The World’s End Pub have garnered mixed reviews. Both categories have been rated around two stars by some patrons. The pub serves a range of BBQ dishes, but there have been complaints about certain items not meeting expectations. For example, while the beef brisket and chili-cheese hot dog are flavorful, the fries (which are actually chunky chips) and the overly vinegary condiments detract from the overall dining experience. ### Passionfruit Martini One specific area for improvement is the Passionfruit Martini. Currently, it seems to lack the balance and vibrancy expected from this popular cocktail. Enhancing the quality of ingredients, ensuring a proper balance of sweetness and tartness, and possibly incorporating fresh passionfruit juice could elevate this drink significantly. ### Recommendations 1. **Food Quality**: The pub could benefit from refining its menu to better meet customer expectations. Ensuring that classic BBQ staples like wings are available and improving the consistency and quality of the side dishes would be a good start. 2. **Drink Menu**: Improving the cocktail offerings, starting with the Passionfruit Martini, can enhance the bar experience. Using premium ingredients and refining the recipes will help in achieving this. 3. **Customer Feedback**: Actively seeking and incorporating customer feedback can help in identifying areas for continuous improvement, ensuring that both food and drinks meet the high standards set by the pub’s lively atmosphere and friendly service. In summary, while The World’s End Pub excels in providing a fun and engaging environment with excellent staff and a variety of entertainment options, focusing on improving the food and drink offerings can significantly enhance the overall experience.

Amazing place, we visited on a day trip to Brighton. Chloe on the escape room was amazing she was friendly, fun and really made it memorable! Amy in the arcade was amazing!! Really made the atmosphere, was so kind and really attentive! Jake and Phoebe behind the bar were also super kind and friendly! Had a lovely time during our visit, the atmosphere is amazing and the staff are great would definitely come back!

Bar area is excellent, we was met by the bar staff phoebe and jake who very attentive and friendly. Great place to visit:) Amy in the arcade is amazing and soo friendly made us all feel very comfortable and relaxed. We also did the escape room upstairs which amazing! Chloe was the host and she was very friendly and made the most of our experience here! Great place to visit and the most friendly staff!!

Excellent arcade bar. Burger was super tasty and an excellent range of beers on offer. The arcade game room upstairs is fantastic, unique and a must. Car racing game is incredible. Well worth a visit

Tl;dr - whole bunch of gamers turned up for an afternoon, tried everything, had a great time, didn't break the bank. 5 stars. Will do it again some time. Recently organised an event here for 20+ people. Really couldn't have been happier with this place as our venue. Over email the staff couldn't have been more pleasant and accomodating. They were perhaps even more lovely on the day. As a barcade it's a touch on the small side, but very well thought out. So while it may not have every single specific game you might want, every type of arcade mainstay is well represented. Great selection, well maintained and laid out, and all with contactless payment. The only arcade staple not represented is a racer. But that's where the race track comes in: A simple figure 8 track with ten RC cars controlled by arcade wheel and pedals. I'll admit I found it a little underwhelming at first sight, but it turned out to be my favourite part of the day by far. Big, stupid, racing fun with 9 mates. Would take this over a Crazy Taxi cab any day. Big shout out to Amy who was running the races. Great fun and a great announcer/ host. She really made the whole thing shine. We also did the escape room upstairs, which needs its own review. It's a goodun tho - especially at £17 a head. Well worth booking in advance. Other than that, solid selection of drinks, with some decent food. As they do not have hotdogs on the menu I am unfortunetely honour bound to dock their food score a single star. That said, the Sriracha chicken burger was an absolute banger. What a killer pub. Can't wait to go to Brighton again, just so I can come back here.

Love this pub, it's fun! Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, cool crowd, prices are okay and best of all: there are board games downstairs and arcade games upstairs.😃👌 PS: didn't eat, so can't judge the food but drinks were good.

Amazing pub with a fantastic atmosphere will be coming back & recommending to friends

A nice friendly pub with a fab amusement arcade upstairs. Great fun for all the family.

This is a really nice pub! The food is tasty, the atmosphere is relaxed, and there are really good rooms available for board gaming. Highly recommended.

Great for family's. Food brilliant.lovely atmosphere

We love the old Olympics game they have & Time Crisis! Never eaten or been there in the evening though.

Great vibe and loved the photo booth in the pub, great fun

Lovely welcoming staff who kept their smiles high when they were inundated

Come for the drinks, stay for the games. The remote control race cars were great fun.

Great pub. Been coming over multiple years now and always a good vibe.

Seems friendly when you first walk in but it’s so expensive, 10.90 for a double vodka and mixer. Absolute rip off. We won’t be returning. Really disappointed. Also advertised as a student pub online but apparently only Monday to Thursday. They didn’t make that clear did they. Feeling angry.

Terrible toilets labled as urinel and other and the other toilets inclusive.

Absolutely dog shi^ £15 for a £1 bag of chips with peas on…. Burgers we ordered was shocking…. Rustlers burgers are better….. came here as reviews and pictures are brilliant but defo a cat fish….. some lie’s in Brighton

There is a video game room upstairs with racing cars and a very responsible host! Crazy fun! Very interesting pub, we had a good time here. Love the lighting set up! upstairs is another game 🎮 room.

I love this pub! My friends and I have come here a few times and always have a great night. The food here is delicious and all vegan, and the bar itself has a great atmosphere. The staff are all lovely and friendly and the arcade upstairs is also a lot a fun :)

Great place for retro games and there's a remote control car race track very cool place emo/punk night on Wednesday but drinks are quite expensive

Absolutely awful Place was empty Tried to charge £38 for a bottle of merlot Toilets were very scary for a woman as had to walk past the urinals to get to the cubicle Staff inexperienced,so not there fault Place dirty and completely unappealing Avoid,if you want a nice time with friends unless you just was to go gaming and not drinking

Love this place, great vibes and team with friendly service. Great vegan food, well priced drinks, grsr atmosphere when I visited

Large ale selection, no longer VR booths, curiously empty for the Thurs before xmas. Didn't eat, enjoyed pints on a sofa, all good

Great local pub with lots of character it’s a large space and they have great drink deals-I like this pub a lot - however, my last two visits I’ve been ignored by staff when waiting for a drink when I’m the only customer at the bar - Its OK to chat with a friend or coworker but tonight I was ignored for ages despite being the only person at the bar. I just felt a bit unwelcome.

This place has the best food! We were thrilled to find it was all vegan. The portions are enormous! Everything tasted absolutely incredibly and the team were so attentive and helpful. We could not be more impressed.

Staff radiate good vibes and a welcoming presence. The food is so nice you’ll have to order it twice.

Nice pub but not much gaming anymore? What happened to the VR and the retro gaming events that were always so busy? Wish they would bring these back!

The food was great! Amazing fries and super friendly staff! Will definitely be coming back!

Fun place with arcade games upstairs. Was busy when we arrived and the bar seemed a little understaffed but cleared out surprisingly early.

Came in last week, Rosie was amazing, completely made my night. Great place xx

Really tasty vegan food, great atmosphere and friendly service!

This bar offered a fun, relaxed atmosphere with plenty to do. The top floor featured a variety of arcade games. The bar had a good selection of beers, cocktails to choose from. My friends and I had an nice time catching up over drinks. The bar provides a perfect spot for a casual night out with a group, with activities to keep you entertained along with solid drinks. I'd highly recommend coming here if you're looking for a chill spot with good drinks, and games.

This place has a retro arcade on the first floor. Unlike any other pub I have visited. Well worth a visit. Can get loud

Great vibe there! Good music what is really hard to find in brightons bar! The drinks and the space is great!

Drinks way too expensive and student deals stupidly on mon-thurs when most are busy staff were nice though.

Cool Car racing upstairs and a nice pub

Looked great, good choices on drinks, interesting music and awesome decor very unique.

Nice pub, but it's not the actual end of the world, so docking one star.

Nice pub but they did try to charge me £32 for 3 shots, however as soon as i noticed they did refund me the incorrect charge

We went on a Saturday and it was very empty so bar service was quick and staff were very friendly. Upstairs is the arcade which was very cool there's a photo booth, dance machine, pinball machines and more and the racing game which was very fun. There's space for 10 drives who compete to complete the most laps the game is manned by the team who offer commentary on the racing throughout great crowd pleaser and very funny.

A fun pub with a selection of board games, an incredible arcade upstairs and a really good selection of drinks.

Cool pub, with some old arcade games upstairs. Good fun and the games I think are fairly priced. You can pay for the games by card which makes it really quick and easy.

Very nice experience about VR and retro games in the past years, now unfortunately dismissed. Upstairs still present a minicars race autodrome, 8 seats for a friends competition. Gaming team staff is very friendly and welcoming, they will help you to understand how does work the game. Beer and other drinks are served. Bathroom... Well... Could be better... Nothing special. Enjoy this pub!

Really fun the arcade room is great and the car racing was hilarious!

Great little spot very helpful staff Recommend for a good start to any night

We waited over an hour for average food. We put in an order for two and after waiting 40 minutes we asked the staff what was going on. They checked and let us know that it was stuck in the food elevator and asked us to confirm our orders again. Only then did they let my partner know that their order shouldn’t have been available that day and asked them to pick another item off the menu. Fortunately they didn’t ask us to pay the small pound or so difference. We waited another 20 minutes for our food after then.

Good craft beer selection, with its own arcade.

Great set of bar staff, great bouncers and one of the gems of brighton

Twice the arcade machine took a card payment but didn't give me credits and no way to get it back apparently.

Came here for my boyfriend’s birthday, great atmosphere and lots of different games to play! We loved racing eachother on the race track, very reasonable prices :)

Came here on a Saturday at around 10:30pm for a drink and was sadly quite disappointed: - was charged £10 for a tiny glass with double vodka and juice (which could’ve bought me a worthwhile cocktail anywhere else) - girl behind the bar had a pretty cold attitude towards everyone, despite us being friendly and polite - the smoking area closes at 10pm, every day (yes, even on a Saturday night) - you’re not even allowed to enjoy a cig with your drink out front on the benches, meanwhile the music is deafeningly loud so good luck conversing inside - despite the gamer theme, the games obviously aren’t cheap and the dance machine seems to only ever be out of order TLDR; overpriced and overhyped. It’s a shame as it’s got a lot of potential, but next time we will stick to Hob Goblin, the Druids, Hare and Hounds, Shuffle bar, etc

great Mexican food and free wifi

arcade games and beer. what now dya need.

Went here on a stag weekend started off ok but within 30 mins we were banned from ordering any drinks . One of our party was drunk but instead of just banning him they banned all of us. They just wouldn't listen when we said we would sort him out , but on the other hand they shot themselves in the foot banning 15 of us , they lost a lot of revenue and it wasnt packed . Ended up in the hobgoblin where we were welcomed and the staff were top notch

Great pub. Great music and Great Staff! Will come back again soon!

Super friendly larger pub with plenty of arcade action. Shame the VR units from years ago long gone. First time eaten here and the vegan burgers were insanely tasty

Coole Bar, nettes Ambiente und schön eingerichtet. Der Service ist zeitweilig etwas überfordert, aber alles in allem okay 👍

Great time driving round the Raceway as part of a birthday celebration. Great staff, great venue!

Top notch service from my man Connor!

Really cool pub! The arcade games are £1 a go and they work off a contactless system so you can just use your bank card. I visited on a Sunday afternoon and practically had the place to myself!

Leuke plek maar niet voor 300 personen. Eten is wel goed!!!! (En het bier overigens ook)

Gute Kneipe mit guter Musik. Es hat richtig Spaß gemacht am Samstag. Leckeres Bier. Für den nächsten Besuch in Brighton vorgemerkt.

One star is over generous- long wait for beer, glad didn't waste time ordering food. So up its own vegan right on vibe that it forgets basics

Great place. Loved the raceway and games. Very busy, bit hot and noisy and the dance games wasn't working but overall lots of fun

Dirty glasses but who cares when they have mortal combat and street fighter 2!!! 😂 fun place

I'm a meat and 2 veg sorta guy.. I work in kitchens most of my life including vegan/vegetarian/meat... This place is by far the best vegan food I ever tasted. As a meat eater I happily come here for a meal, and if it continues staying this good I may even convert.

Raceway is excellent, great fun as so unsual

Fantastic pub and great night out with frineds. A racetrack upstairs, bored games and cards down stairs. Serving many types of rum and a huge list of craft beers. A must visit.

Love this place. You can have so much fun in the arcade's upstairs, playing vintage games and car racing, although some of the arcade games are a bit knackered. Try to find the free games too. I play 'hunt the hand soap' in the gents which isn't as easy as it sounds.

Had a work party here. Had a great time. Mini car racing was fun, I think for 4.50? There was an announcer there that was so unenthusiastic it made it 10x funnier. It was hilarious! Photo booth available was cute 😁

Lovely, friendly and retro game themed pub with its own Escape Room. Recommended

First time here for a friend's leaving do and it was a great evening. Even better for coming first racing the cars upstairs 🤷🏻‍♂️

YUM! I feel genuine love in my heart for this place. They have buffalo oyster mushroom wings that are better than most chicken wings I’ve tried. The chili cheese friends were really yummy too. I want to go back and try everything on the menu :))

Gone are the days of the VR gaming downstairs, but a reasonable menu and good beer choices downstairs with some old school arcade action upstairs.

Loved the atmosphere and food was out quick tasting amazing 👏🏻 😋 we'll be back for sure!

Large bar very popular with students, good selection of drinks, interesting fast food (including vegan choices) and arcade games upstairs. Also live music events. Staff very pleasant and hardworking but not enough of them to serve drinks, bring food and clean tables during busy times!

We ate here to celebrate a birthday. The burgers were good but the fries were okay. Too much bbq sauce on them it made it sickly (as shown). condiments cost 50p which was a bit disappointing as there was no salt or pepper on the table either so felt we didn’t have a choice.

The mere three stars (not five) is aimed at management, but we've seen from other not-so-positive reviews that they don't seem to respond to these. We had our table booked for four hours but left after we finished eating (so spent just over an hour here) and went elsewhere. The food was good and the service was okay, albeit slow but that was not the staff's fault. There were only 2/3 members of staff trying to serve drinks, deliver food to the tables, take food orders, change barrels, clear tables, seat people with bookings, plus everything else. They were doing the best they could and kept apologising for being very understaffed. The staff didn't even have time to wash glasses so loads of plastic was wasted as they had to resort to using plastic cups. Not impressed.

Called fir a pi t and a meal ordered food and was told a hour later hadn't been orderd. The manager just stood outside smoking

Could do with a good cleaning the place is absolutely filthy, i called in on Sunday afternoon for a quick drink after work, the table I sat down at obviously hadn't been cleaned in a long time, the windows inside and outside are well over due a bucket of soapy water and a good clean, AVOID

Yep...took my kids there with some of their friends....6 kids in all, age range 9-11 boys and girls. The games are mainly upstairs, they had a great time and so did me and the misus (she enjoyed the old dancing game and I got to play time crisis). Went there at around midday and was there for around 2 hours which was just about right. Didn't cost the earth. I reckon this venue would be great in the evening too when it's just for grown ups. I certainly recommend it.
