Black Lion
A proper Lanes pub on Black Lion Street, with a sun-trap beer garden out back.
The Cricketers, 15 Black Lion St, Brighton and Hove, Brighton BN1 1ND
Historic pub on Black Lion Street since the 1500s.
One of the oldest pubs in Brighton, right on Black Lion Street where the Lanes meet the seafront. Wood panelling, low ceilings, corners you can disappear into. The Cricketers has been pulling pints here since the 1500s and the building still has that slightly crooked, time-worn character. It gets busy on Friday and Saturday nights when people pile in off the street, but midweek it's calmer. Pub food, changing beer selection, and a location that makes it a natural stop between the beach and the shops.
