• Basketmakers - Nice, comfy surroundings. You can talk, beer’s good and friendly bar staff.
• The Crescent - A snug - they’ve got a bloody SNUG! Plus a decent beer garden although rather rude barstaff on the down side.
• The Battle - Beer garden, good beer, talkability but a lot of public school fops to deal with at times.
• The Place - To describe it as a ‘beer garden’ is an insult - it’s bloody gorgeous with red grass, a veranda in case it rains, heaters for when it’s cold - shame the pub itself is so CRAP.
• East Slope S.U. - Scene of many a top band night and many a good TV footy match. A pub atmosphere in an S.U. bar - a very rare thing.
• Heart in Hand - Top juke box, lovely green tiles on the outside, good atmosphere, but suffers from overcrowding at the weekend.
• The Pond - Our little secret, can always find a seat even on Saturday night plus friendly bar staff and their famous ‘always win something’ pop quiz.
• Great Eastern - Suffers same fate as Heart in Hand at weekend but great for a quiet pint during the week with a friendly bar atmosphere.
• The Unity - Good juke box, lively but not too overcrowded - good atmosphere all round
• The Geese - Didn’t ban me even when seen sneaking out with about fifty glasses in a drunken haze. ‘Nuff said.
  
• *NB. We might be telling fibs so you don’t go in our fave pubs so you’ll have to check ‘em out for yourself.

VERTIGO BAD PUB GUIDE

• Mash ‘Tun - Too hot, too loud, too expensive - Too bloody everything.
• Bath Arms - Rudest fucking barstaff in the world: "time to drink up, I said time to drink up... I SAID TIME TO LEAVE, NOW!!"
• Cricketer’s - Great if you like running into stag nights/hen parties on a regular basis and dealing with stoopid South London gits.
• All Fake Irish Pubs - Come on, when will the breweries realise what a pathetic idea old oirish pubs are, for pete’s sake.
• Every Pub In Hove - They’re all shit, honest, take my word for it, I’ve tried them all.
• McLusky’s - "You’re not hard enough to get in here, mate."
• Hobgoblin - Favourite haunt of the Engineering student - nuff said.
• Grapevine (Sussex Uni) - The very first time I walked in, within ten seconds I nearly got in a fight with the Sussex Uni rugby team.
• The Wick - I warned them, I warned them, but oooh no: within two minutes a fight had broken out in which the rest of the pub seemed to revel.
• Iron Duke - "Have you come here to fight me" - the immortal line to greet Steve as he walked in for the very first, and last, time.
• The George - As opposed to the old Prince George. Yes, it will work really well painted grey with fake beams and a wonderful ‘wine bar atmosphere’!
