It's essentially Italian tapas - small dishes such as a couple of meatballs in sauce, which is great if you're with friends or family as sharing is encouraged. The food was delicious and cooked to perfection; the only downside is the price! It was rather pricey for the small amount of tiny dishes my friend and I ordered, but you do get what you pay for. It isn't a place I would visit regularly as it is definitely a place to treat yourself with! Overall however when you do decide to make a visit, you won't be disappointed. Just don't be shocked at the prices!

I rather like this place. Its got a kind atmosphere, and it uses its slender design to its benefit,…read moreso that the bar runs around half way down, encouraging a semi dystopia sci-fi kind of vibe thats not at all alienating. As is always the case, you're rewarded for drinking ale, which is a little cheaper than lager pints. But whatever you choose, you won't be buying to get trashed. Its not that kind of place... Its good to go for a social, slow drink or two, or for a relaxed chill out. The blend of contemporary styles, from the bar stools and cushioned bench along the wall, to the mirror balls and coloured lights blends very very pleasingly with older details, like wooden panelling, shelves of books and a traditional bar layout. Small things make it feel special too, such as bringing round candles as it starts to get dark... I know its only a minor detail, but it made sitting in Medusa Bar fell special and unique... I like it a lot here... especially seeing as they play albums through from start to finish, instead of chopping and changing the whole time.

The Medusa Bar is another of the Preston Street locales, and as such, is sandwiched between various…read morerestaurants and other bars. Medusa is a step up from most of the other bars in the area, being a bit less low-class than some of the other drinking places in the area, and generally cheaper and more pleasant to relax in. If you've just been for dinner and need a place to sit down afterwards, Medusa is a great alternative to heading too far back into town, especially if the weather's a bit naff. Medusa is hard to define, as it mixes much of the pub atmosphere with more of a wine-bar-chill-out seating arrangement and the like. It generally works very well: the prices are cheap, and the atmosphere is very friendly and relaxed. This is a great place to perch on a cushion and let the world spin by; not exactly a rarity in Brighton, but certainly in this area. If you're looking for a good chill-out place in the area, Medusa may be a great place for you to sit: it is just worth remembering that the crowd that like this area will likely make this place less relaxed later into the evening.

Truly Authentic Italian Cuisine…read more Cin Cin in Brighton is a lovely, authentic and cosy place, with wall-to-wall food and wine on display to whet your appetite. We are greeted by David, who is passionate about what Cin Cin is about. He has so much to say about the produce on sale - all shipped in from Italy and also sourced locally too, the wine - Italian of course, and the dishes on their thoughtful menu change often enough to keep things interesting. The food was lovingly presented and beautifully cooked - easily the best Italian cuisine we have experience in Brighton so far!

We were drawn into this place the other week by the announcement 'Live Jazz on Fridays'. I'm not…read moresure if there was in fact no jazz playing, or if we'd had a few too many to find the precise room in which this was (the latter being probably more likely), but we missed out on the jazz that evening. Regardless, it was worth a visit. The barman was very friendly, and impressed me hugely when he got us sniffing the various types of dark rum on offer! I stuck with the Sailor Jerry, but there was a good choice, as well as tequila shots for a pound if you're so inclined. I didn't get any of the Mediterranean food on offer in the restaurant but would definitely go back another time - really good service and atmosphere.

Mainly due to the fact that they would consistently get over 20 people together for good times. This was also the first place I tried the shisha or hubbly bubbly to some people. It was quite novel and I haven't seen any other place do this before. Friday and Saturday nightsare definitely the best times to go but I would wonder if we hadn't been in such large numbers whether it would be as much fun. With a huge amount of different drinks on offer it would be a good place to stop in if you were on a pub crawl for sure. However, I couldn't see myself spending all night here.

I used to live in Brighton and Browns was the place to go. After a long time away, I went back to…read morebrekkie excited to experience Browns again. I ordered the veggie breakfast - the toast wasn't toasted & the portobello mushroom, beans and tomato were cold. The poached eggs, however, were lovely. Living in Sydney where brekkie is a cultural touchstone, I'm used to a much higher standard - I was the first and only customer at Browns this morning and it really was a complete and utter disappointment. The staff member dealing with me was really lovely though and tried to make up for it. Overall, a pretty dire standard for what's meant to be an upmarket bistro. Sadly, I won't be be going back.

There seems to be two parts to Browns on this street, we also went to one that was more a wine bar…read moreand they said they were closing at 20:45 on a Sunday! Anyway, back to the one serving breakfast.... Sunday morning and we wanted breakfast. Browns had been recommended. Tried to book, but to no avail, nor via the telephone system. Just couldn't get to speak to a human being. Walked there and took the chance. A few tables on the front were occupied, but all clear inside. My wife ordered a coffee, and I ordered a fruit juice. If the latter had been fresh then I could have understood the price (£3.50). I know my orange juices and this was made from concentrate. My wife wanted: scramble egg with smoked salmon on toast (note: I can't see listed on their site, but it was on the menu given to us), unfortunately, they didn't have any smoked salmon. Amazing! So, she then asked for the mashed avocado on toast (again not shown on the site menu). No avocados! This was beginning to get like the cheese shop sketch from Monty Python. In the end, scrambled eggs on toast! My wife commented to me that these items are easy to get by nipping down to the local supermarket. Now on this same menu I chose the traditional breakfast.... On the site it says: Traditional breakfast Smoked bacon, outdoor bred pork sausages, two eggs, baked beans, flat mushrooms, black pudding, grilled tomato, sourdough toast, Netherend Farm butter I declined the grilled vine tomatoes, not on the above. There was no black pudding up for offer. The mushrooms were not of the flat variety. So, here we go: Smoked bacon - overcooked and difficult to eat. Sausages - well overcooked and near burnt and brittle. Fried Eggs - overcooked and dry, with crispy edges. Very small mushrooms cooked to death, very black and greasy as hell. Toast- nearly burnt. Butter - very little, and must be on WW2 rationed supplies. If this is really the best they can do, given that I was the only one ordering breakfast at that time, then I'm not going back. In hindsight, I wished I'd taken a picture.

This place seems to have gone through more transmogrifications than Dr Who. Formerly the Belle Vue,…read moreit has had several new owners, and as many new exterior paint schemes, in the course of a couple of years. The interior is still traditional with lots of wood, with the exception of a corner of leopard-skin-print banquettes (well, this is Brighton). A short-lived stint as a gastro-pub seems to have given way to a more traditional pub feel, with Harvey's Sussex Best Bitter and an occasional guest real ale, alongside the usual drinks and snacks. It also does food, with an Italian theme, Tues-Sats until 9pm, although we've not eaten here (yet). There's subtle piped music (80s electro-synth the other night) and a mixed crowd - during the evening it seemed to go through both quiet and busy patches. But not a bad place for a quiet pint, and for once you can have a conversation without having to shout.

Known as pub billiards, it involves shooting "up" a pool table, and landing the balls used in different holes, with different holes being worth different points. The real challenge comes into play with a trio of pegs, which block off the high scoring holes, and can reduce your score back down to zero if knocked over... intense stuff. I was chatting to my Dad about this, who informed me that its a game he and my Mum played back in the 70s, and was strangely addictive. The bar staff are more than friendly enough, and with a decent looking garden and the promise of food, it has everything you need from a pub. Don't be put off by the slight walk out of town, or the quiet nature of the place, as its really worth dropping by for a quick round of pub billiards, and the pleasant atmosphere.

Three different versions- vintage (made with old bottles produced before recipes changed), classic, and barrel aged. Amazing!! Recommend and would definitely return.

Before I could even get to the window to read the menu on display, the owner (or front of house) comes out and asks "can I help you" with a face that looks shocked by us even coming close to the bar, this whole time not once asking us if we'd like to come in for a drink or a table. We tell him we are just looking at the menu and he proceeds to tell us "it's only a Christmas menu, but can I help you with anything else?" This whole time blocking the entrance, still looking at me with this perplexed face. I've never felt such a hostile welcoming from front of house. The fact I couldn't even get inside without him asking why I'm even at the door In the first place should go to show that this bar does not welcome all. After telling him I probably won't come here again (seeing as I clearly wasn't wanted) he then says "fuck you" to me as I'm walking away. Horrible service that didn't even include anything being served, apart from his "fuck you" remark. Don't go here, it's a danger zone.
