Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Hole in the Wall
Small, two-room side-street pub located very close to (but hidden from) the beach. Limited seating and decoration in both parts, but it retains a very traditional feel. Four cask beers available from the bank of five handpumps on the front counter of the central servery, so you have to locate the chalkboard to see what's actually on. Anyway, I found Brew York's Maris the Otter (£4.50) plus a Session IPA from London Beer Lab, Bristol Beer Factory Wild West and Siren's Recurring Dream.

I hole-heartedly (sorry) agree with the two previous reviewers. I did a momentary double-take on entering and finding four empty hand pumps; then I saw how sparklingly clean and polished they were, and turned to see four cask beers listed on the blackboard, along with 10 keg beers and three ciders. A slight disappointment in seeing that three out of four cask were from northern breweries whose reputations, in my opinion, are better than their beers. I went for Burning Sky Aurora which was NBSS 4 and almost had me thinking of staying for another. Definitely one that I'll return to, though. If not this trip then next time.

Backstreet pub in unassuming location that is not far from the beach and the old West Pier. One of two 2023 Good Beer Guide pubs I had yet to visit in the town, this is a small 2-room pub where a few others had gathered not too long after opening on the recent bank holiday Monday.
A large board in the front bar lists the real ale, craft beer and cider selection. 4 real ales were Salopian Day of Days, North Riding Citra Pale, Burning Sky Aurora & Settle Ernie's Milk Stout. The real cider was Iford Somerset Sahara. There was also a fizzy cider from Ascension. Craft beers dominated the selection, with Cloak & Dagger Komodo Bozo, The Kernel Pale Ale, Rivington Good Times Emporium, Elusive Double Oregon Trail, Pastore Limone, Burning Sky Saison Printemps, Track Each Coming Night & Anspach & Hobday London Black.
Toad in the Hole was being played in the rear room, whilst our group pretty much filled the front room. It doesn't take that many people to make this pub busy. However, it's one of those Brighton pubs that I am likely to return to, with its decent ale and cider selection and excellent atmosphere, being tucked away just enough to keep any riff raff out.
