The Rook Taproom, Brighton

Not much to add to the previous reviews and am in agreement that it was one of the best pubs for beer choice we visited on our trip to Brighton. For the record I went for the Brighton Beir South Coast and very good it was too..

Compact side-street terrace pub, formerly the Prince Albert, with the interior having something of an alehouse feel. Not much seating in the bar area, but more space is available down a short staircase in the rear conservatory and the there a few small patio tables out front. Eight of the nine handpumps were in operation when we stopped by, with five real ales - including Brighton Beir West Pier - two ciders and a perry available. There is also a row of craft keg taps on the bar-back.

A small mid terrace pub with many beer choices available from eight pumps as well as gravity dispense,there are also craft keg options,there is a small main bar area with a second glass roofed semi conservatory room down a couple of steps to the rear.My pint of Late Knights Worm Catcher was in good nick but not quite to my taste.Well worth a visit but could be quite cramped at times.
