Traditional British pub in the heart of the Lanes
There has been a pub on the site of the Bath Arms Brighton since 1864 and that is not going to change any time soon. This traditional British pub is a popular spot situated in the bustling Lanes area of the city. The ideal place to rest your weary feet with a pint of real ale or glass of wine and watch the world go by. In the summer months, their outdoor seating offers guests the chance to enjoy the historic Lanes from a restful position. In winter the cosy interior and open fire are a welcome sight to those looking to hide from the elements for a little while. The friendly welcome and diverse mix of locals, traders and tourists make the Bath Arms a lively and engaging pub to while away a few hours.

Hidden history – The Bath Arms Brighton
The Bath Arms is the oldest licensed premises situated in the original lanes of Brighton. The building was once two cottages that we merged to form a pub in 1864 called The True Briton Eating and Beer House. In 1868 it was renamed as The Bath Arms and has not changed since then. Down in the cellar there is a bricked up entrance to a series of tunnels and mazes that run underneath the Lanes of Brighton.

Getting There
Awful treatment by manager and staff.
Visted the pub and found an empty table for 4. Sat down and ordered drinks. As the table had not been cleaned from the previous customers I asked for the table to be cleaned. A staff member came and cleared the table. He then came back and without saying anything he put down a slate on the table marked reserved at 7, this was after we were sitting there with a drink. We saw a free table so moved the slate to that table. After sitting there for an hour we then ordered food. When the food was served nothing was said to us but halfway through our meal we were asked to move to another table as this one was reserved. We refused as we were in the middle of eating and I explained that the table was reserved only after we were sitting there. The manager said that was not true and said “I don’t believe that”, as the staff member had told her he had put the slate there hours before we arrived. I could not believe his blatant lie. When we had finished our meal the manager then approached our table and said ” A word of advice, do not do what you did to any other pub in Brighton” I could not believe how rude she spoke to us. I tried to explain again about no slate being on the table when we sat down and I asked the staff member to tell the truth but of course he lied and said the slate was put on to the table hours ago. I am not an unreasonable person and if (before the food was served) we were asked to move to another table it would not have been a problem, but it was during the meal. I do suggest if they have CCTV to review it. It made our dining experience uncomfortable, but the food was very mediocre anyway so won’t miss visiting this pub again.
A great find, the food was fresh and clearly made with love ! I will be back. Vegetarian options amazing which is really hard to find in most restaurant’s. My husband loved the fish and chips. We will be returning !
Always a great choice if you want to meet friends in central Brighton. Great atmosphere and if you fancy a bite to eat they have a number of large tables in their restaurant section/ dining section out back. Good pub food and definitely a good atmosphere. Great selection of wines and friendly folk behind the bar.
