Another decent pub. It seems to be aimed at the younger crowd. We had a quick drink of Harvey's Sussex Best.

Nicknamed The Eddy, this is another of Brighton's seemingly limitless dinky corner pubs, situated a little to the west of the railway station and naturally up a steep climb.
The bar is wood panelled, the floor is part bare boarded, part flagstone; furniture is conventional. This pub seemed more youth-orientated than some of the other similar establishments near here and there was a good happy vibe egged on by loudish music. The lavatories though could really do with some remedial work.
Ales: two pumps, clips reversed then Franklin Brewery's Mama Knows Best at a reasonable £2.00 a half and fine.
This pub makes for a decent basecamp on the assent up the west face of the city, but in future I'd prefer to press on up to The Battle of Trafalgar.

Sky Sports was on, but not attracting much attention on my recent lunchtime visit. The whole pub was attracting very little interest, to be honest, but there are many other options in the area. I expect it gets busier later. Inside, its pretty much a long room, sunlit at the front on the day, but gloomier towards the rear. There's some seating outside on Buckingham Street for smokers and sunseekers.
The bar's right in front of you as you enter. 3 ales on offer - 2 nationals, but I went for the local option of Downlands Root Thirteen, which hit the spot. It's not my number one option in the streets around Brighton Station, but it could be worth a look-in from time to time.

The Eddy is a long thin pub with a dark bar area at the front and small room at the rear that I found to be a bit grotty with event flyers on the walls and furniture that has seen better days. To be fair the bar area is nicer, but there was no comfortable seating when I visited even though the pub wasn’t really that busy. Three hand pumps can be found on the bar and these were drawing Harveys Best and Doom Bar with one being unused. There is also a standard draught selection alongside Stowford Press and Amstel and the Guinness was well poured by a very friendly barman. There are a couple of plasma screens for showing Sky Sports , but these were off due to no sport being on and some American folk like music was playing. Food is available at lunchtimes and during the evening in the week except for Monday when the kitchen is closed and at the weekend the kitchen is open from midday until 20:00. I wasn’t keen on seeing people eat at the bar whilst I tried to lean around them to handover my beer tokens.
This isn’t a pub that I would actively seek out, but I’d have no problem popping in for another pint if passing.
