Albion Tavern, Brighton

The Albion is a local’s boozer found on the edge of an estate and my welcome on a Friday night a couple of weeks ago led me to believe that they don’t often get strangers visiting. The bar is L shaped with a pool table and a dartboard at the rear. The main bar area is at the front of the pub where there is seating and a plasma screen that was showing a live Championship football match via Sky Sports. There are another two dartboards in this area and some back music was playing of the jukebox. The bar is stocked with standard draught and the lone hand pump was drawing Harveys Best. I didn’t notice any food being advertised, but my visit was late. This pub doesn’t open until 14:00 Monday through to Thursday, 13:00 Friday and Saturday and midday on Sunday. The longer I stayed the more I warmed to this pub and if I lived locally I would use it, but I am not going to go out of my way to revisit.
