Rights of Man, Lewes

Quite small and clearly a 'created' pub, but it is starting to weather in and is developing a reasonable pub feel. The bar is positioned sideways and faces some booths, with small tabled areas around. A bank of 6 pumps served a fair selection of ales from the Harvey's range. Definitely improving and worth a visit.

I pretty much agree with Aqualungs take on this pub,feels a bit like a shop conversion, the makeover is smart and looks ok but lacks an authentic feel,my pint of Harvey's Wild Hop was fine as was my drinking partners Best. It was a pub though that didn't leave me wanting to rush back.

This is Harvey's newest outlet in Lewes having opened at the end of 2012. It's a long and narrow room with wooden panelling and a slightly raised area at the front with some lower tables and chairs. There are some stairs to an upper area that I didn't look into. I suspect it's a shop conversion but don't actually know. It's certainly more of a bar than a pub. I got the impression it's used mainly by the younger people of Lewes. The bar has six hand pumps with a good Harvey's range on my visit consisting of Mild, Old, Best, South Down Harvest, Olympia and IPA. I rather cautiously went for the Best as I had doubts whether that many beers would all be in good condition in a small place like this. It was in good nick. There's nothing really wrong with this place but I preferred most other pubs visited in Lewes.
