Spacious, lively pub with a music venue just upstairs. This one is a short walk from Brighton Station on the way into the centre of town, making for a great pit stop pre or post a day out in the city before you head home. Dogs are very welcome downstairs, but sadly there's no outside seating area. Nonetheless, it's so big that you shouldn't have too much trouble finding somewhere to sit. It can get busy at peak hours though.

Whilst you're there, be sure to give Beelzebab a go – their in-house kebab van serving packed vegan doner kebabs and delicious hot dogs.

The Hope & Ruin is one of our best dog friendly pubs in Brighton.
