Black Lion Brighton – One of Brighton’s Most Popular Pubs
One of Brighton’s best known pubs, the Black Lion Brighton, is situated in the heart of The Lanes just near the seafront on Black Lion Street. Not only does the Black Lion have a good reputation for a music filled night out, their varied food menu is also an attraction for many people.
The Food
The Black Lion menu is all about pub classics cooked using fresh and seasonal produce from in and around Sussex. Whether you are in the market for a light lunch or a slap up meal, the menu selection here is versatile, from lunch through to the evening. Think small plate starters such as butternut arancini scotch egg, sharing dishes like fully loaded nachos, salads for a lighter meal and burgers and dogs for those hungrier occasions.
We love the sound of the tofu dog with caramelised onions, chilli sauce and vegannaise. The Asian salad is also jumping out, along with the ‘sticky toffee with Guiness ice cream and salted popcorn’ to end.

Serving a wide selection of roasts with crispy roast potatoes, seasonal veg and lashings of gravy with delicious veggie and vegan roasts available too as well as a kids roast choice for the little ones.

INFO
The bottomless brunch came highly recommended by a friend so me and my partner decided to give it a go! I went for the vegan option while my partner went for the meat. Amazing food (3 courses), excellent service and a choice of beer, bloody Mary’s or Mimosa’s for drinks. I chose the Mimosa’s which were really good. The Black Lion has a cool 90’s vibe with some nostalgic tunes being played in the background. Central location and easy to find. This is excellent value… 3 courses and bottomless drinks for £26 per person.
One of my friends celebrated her birthday at the Black Lion Pub.
Firstly we had nice dinner and afterwards we enjoyed their live jazz evening. I loved it, superb night.
p.s I want to give a praise to their Raspberry fool dessert. The best dessert so far!
Fun venue, classic pub dishes and definitely a good option if you want to hang around for some drinks later into the evening. Lively, busy – what a great night!
