On a street lined with restaurants, this is a brightly coloured establishment with a modern feel inside. The ground floor room has the bar to the rear left. There is also seating in the basement (where you can also find the toilets) and a couple of tables to the front.

On our Saturday lunchtime visit, there were a couple of cask ales on from Burning Sky - NZPA & Dark Mild, along with a mulled cider from Ascension. Keg beers dispensed from the rear wall included plenty of lagers and pilsners. Craft beers were Beak Hum & Holly, Burning Sky Three Arms, Abyss Some Some More, Vik Salted Garden & Burning Sky Robust Porter.

The beers we tried were good. As the previous reviewer says, the Brick is worth a go if you want to try something different.

The Brick on Preston Street is primarily focused on German and Czech draft beers over its 20 or so taps, of which 4 are side-pull Hladinkas for that authentic Czech-style pour. These imports include several rarities. There's also 3 handpumps on the bar, though just 2 were in use on this visit. Service was super-friendly.

No food to be had on my visit, contrary to the hints on their Instagram feed. Nevertheless a solid left-field option if you fancy something a little different.

I hadn't planned on coming here but the sign caught my eye from the corner of Western Road so I had a look. It's a modern bar with a welcoming vibe, and three hand pumps visible from the street, so in I went. The lass behind the bar was friendly, as was her only customer (6pm Tuesday), who said "best pub in Brighton". I raised a sceptical eyebrow, but after being charged just £2 for a half of Adnams Old Ale I echoed the praise. To be honest, it wasn't the greatest beer (NBSS 3), but as the lass said, there's no rip off prices for real ale here.

Background music was ok, ambience was good, and if anyone wants to see how to do an exposed brick and rubble wall with taste and artistic merit, this is the place to come.
