Touted as the best Irish pub outside of Ireland, this tiny spot located at the top end of Queen Vic Market is easy to miss. Come for live music five nights a week (both traditional and contemporary), genuine Irish charm and the perfectly poured Guinness.
Brighton’s Half Moon pub — run by the same group that owns Lucky Coq, Portsea Hotel and The Albert Park Hotel — is huge. Behind the building’s original historic façade, lies six separate drinking and dining spaces, split across two levels.
