| nice clean interesting pub,good tim taylor ,pleasant staff, if your out of shape catch the bus here as the hills a killer. THUNFAN007 - 8 Jan 2012 21:52 |
| The best pub in Brighton - it feels like a country pub in the middle of a city. Its a brilliant little place to chill out, meet friends and have a quiet evening. No Sky Sports (such a precious rarity these days), no irritating fruit machines, just a relaxed atmosphere and a super selection of proper beers on tap and Belgian beers by the bottle. No Fosters, Carling or Stella in sight. The food is pricey but worth every penny - not just 'pub grub' but a high restaurant standard cooked by an amazing chef. Ticketed (and excellent value) live folk/country/bluegrass music is on only 3 Monday evenings a month which doesn't make it a venue rather than a pub! Lots of friendly & interesting regulars - I have made so many new good friends just sitting at the bar in the Greys. Marvellous. Pipsissiwa - 28 Apr 2011 16:56 |
| Very reliable no frills pub. The beer is always spot on - a decent selection of high quality ales and Belgian beers, good staff and friendly owners. Very high food standards too from a smallish menu. A genuinely pleasurable environment if you like your pubs on the mellow side. Best in Hanover I'd say. jim66 - 13 Feb 2011 14:40 |
| Having not been since the early 2000s, it was time to catch up with the Greys following check-ins at the Charles Napier and Constant Service. The exterior turquoise-fest and out-of-kilter 1950s design are not to everyone's taste, and could be considered a little crass in an otherwise well-preserved Victorian quarter of the city. However, within one can still find a down-to-earth local vibe pervading what is quite a small pub, with a few tables outside for good measure to accommodate the inevitable overspill. Ale-wise, things weren't perhaps as inspiring as one reads; well-kept Harvey's Best and Tim Taylor Landlord are never unwelcome but somehow I had expected at least 1 or 2 more unusual choices. Nevertheless, a real cider featured in the shape of Thatchers Heritage, which turned out to be a splendid choice and a worthwhile brief distraction from the ales that sandwiched it at other pubs. Definitely a relevant stop-off although for an entire night, as a cask ale devotee I am bound to say there are more diverting alternatives in the vicinity. TWG - 14 Sep 2010 17:26 |
| Had a spare hour early eve before meeting other folk so checked out the Greys as I hadn't been for about 5 years. Fantastic pint of Harveys, great soup & selection of bread - all came in at about £12. Civilised atmosphere - the merits of Miles Davis being discussed at bar - but don't let that put you off.
