Presuming Ed in Brighton and Hove

Andrew was phenomenal, amazing atmosphere and brilliant escape room overall, would definitely recommend!!

Ed’s has been a Brighton stalwart for quite sometime now and to make the transition to an evening venue and bar from the coffee shop is a welcome one. There’s always a good choice of beers available from Budvar (lager and dark) to La Chouffe, along with a good amount of bottles. There’s always a nice alternative feel to the place which is welcoming. They often have DJs or live bands at weekends which have all been pretty good. Staff are friendly and prices fair. A really good venue day or night.

Classic form of discrimination at this place. They said you have to be seated to have a drink as a large group of 8 stood next to us drinking. Discrimination shows its head in many ways, avoiding places like this will give the people power

Great coffee shop and awesome escape room! I did the escape room (escape the vault) with my 9 year old son and we both loved it! Definitely recommend and looking forward to doing escape the cell there at some point!

Love going to Presuming Ed’s, the coffee and food is always really good, they play good music, and I’ve enjoyed all the escape rooms I’ve done there!

Great escape room! Not as big as some others but great value especially as it's in a real old bank Vault. Great hosts and helpful bar staff.

Hands down the best cafe in Brighton! Ed’s is home to the heart of the creative community, serves great coffee and (alcoholic) beverages and is home to three escape rooms as well. Staff are kind, management are incredible humans. Rumour has it those that step foot in 114-115 London Road never truly leave again …..

Omg. Favorite place ever. Punk, great vibes, they’re cool with people with laptops, great wifi, filtered batch coffee, give u a discount for refills, vegan options, amazing place

Went for an escape room event. Didn't really enjoy it. They said get there 10 minutes early , we did but were kept waiting. Escape room only £17 p.p but 8 is too many in a little pokey, dimly lit room and clues were half missing and all numbers mostly. Boring.

Came here for the Escape the Cell escape room, we had a great experience!! It was surprisingly much more difficult than we expected but still lots of fun! Theo was great, really interactive and supportive when we needed hints. Would highly recommend :)

Love the place, usually go for a tea, all round great vibes.

Gran escape room y una excelente manera de pasar mi cumpleaños. El verano era muy servicial y servicial cuando algunos de nuestros invitados estaban llegando tarde. Gran diversión, muy recomendable y una gran selección de bebidas en el grifo. ¡Gracias Summer!

Always a cool down with the kids experience

Ed's is a Brighton institution and blends the best of coffee shop and pub into one quirky place that is down to earth and has something for everyone.

Excelente pub pero dolorosa geografía interna. Las mesas y las sillas están muy juntas, lo que significa que soy capaz de espiar a mis vecinos. Esto no debería permitirse ya que soy extremadamente entrometido. Buena selección de frinks. Tenía cuatro diferentes. Una habitación en el edificio es una vieja caja fuerte. Fui en él y conocí a un fantasma.

Love this place. The heart and soul of London rd

Came here just at opening time for coffee and a vegan toastie. Both decent, served with a smile and reasonable value. The place is very left field and 'nuts' but in a great way, quirky is an under statement! Liked it though music way too loud for me for the morning. Still would return and like that its a cafe and bar hybrid, while I didn't have a beer the choice was decent craft

One of my favourite spots for meeting with besties. They just need to have decaf coffee in more haha.

I had one of the best coffees I’ve ever had here. It’s a big statement I know but it was so good! I had an oat milk latte.

This place is a great spot. It perfectly balances being a bar and a coffee shop. Whether your working in the day and looking to get out the house, meeting freinds for a coffe, or grabbing a beer at night it's got a great atmosphere to hang. The selection of soft drinks is also great - you can get Fritz cola and a german coffee drink that I forget the name of. The service and atmspohere is great, the querky decorations are always changing, and they occasionally do stand up comedy and live music, which is always good to see.

I really enjoyed the escape room didn't have food but the place is wheelchair friendly downstairs

Fab - popped in for a quick drink - gloriously alternative and friendly. Highly recommend

Really nice place with an amazing interior, it's like walking inside a real life collage! It's really entertaining reading the stories written on the wall in the toilet. Made my toilet visit longer than expected. Also a few strong Belgian beers hihi

Great escape room and a nice pint on completion. A great bar and roof top terrace. Nick was great as our host and Will was very helpful in refunding us due to a couple of members not being able to make the booking. Thank you!

Super accomodating and kind when planning an evening for my partner’s birthday. Quirky, exciting place with a strong community and good prices.

one of my go to places in Brighton, want coffee? they make great coffee. Want a drink? they have plenty of choices. Staff is fast and friendly! Prices are what you expect in Brighton. The atmosphere is 10/10, each table is different, so many cool details and decorations, different rooms. The music is also great and they have wifi! I highly recommend.

had curry for lunch in here and it was amazing

Wow! What a fabalous discovery in Brighton - a mix of nostalgia from my 90s era and present day. Friendly cool vibe, inspiring and affordable!

The food is off the hook The Indian tali A must 5 stars

Lovely vegan Thali for around £12. Great value for money, really filling. been there a couple of times and found the staff to be friendly. Even the chef came out to say hi.

Theo help us with our escape room and he was brilliant, very professional and helped us all have an amazing time

Best coffee in Brighton with the nicest people and the coolest decor. Only equaled by Marwood studios which is owned by the same guys.

all the cool people in Brighton work here you got Ellie from tiktok, Matt from Welly, Angel from Riff Raff. epic location

Either have a pint, cup of coffee, work with laptop, watch some gigs: this is the place for them. Open everyday and until late. It’s a bit quirky and I love particularly their dirty chai (best in town). The staffs are nice too!

Love Ed’s. Great pub and atmosphere. Love Harry and Attie (new bar manager). Yours faithfully, Madeline and Harold. !!!!!!

I cannot represent and review the food, however the atmosphere and drinks in this pub are amazing. The place is so groovy and you could spend a long time just looking at the tiny details. If your a beer drinker then highly recommend the house schooner which is 2/3 of a pint with a good cost. It's become my favorite and local pub

Couldn’t be better. Lovely place with great food, great drinks, and great vibes.

Only came here for coffee and it was really good, looks like a great pub as well!

Theo was a great host, so enthusiastic and welcoming. Couldn’t recommend this escape room more, we’ll be back.

Cool bar/cafe. Loud but good music. Lots of options. Really nice place

I can't hate this place despite really sucky filter coffee and croissants.

Excellent Fun led by the lovely Theo. We managed to escape fairly quickly and could always rely on Terrence for help or clues if needs be. Would definitely come again to tackle the other two escape rooms. Was recommended about a 'furby room' by Theo.

A must have in Brighton. Love the interior with all the crazy details in there. Great coffee. Fair cost

Awful bouncer. Said I was ugly in my ID picture and stood by what he said when I questioned him (in outrage, of course). Please get a new bouncer, made me feel super uncomfortable and had to leave shortly after, which is a shame as I’m a regular there.

Love the venue but had an unfortunate experience tonight. As my friend was getting their ID checked on the door the bouncer was extremely rude. He expressed that whilst my friend was beautiful now that they were ugly in their ID photo. The photo was taken a year before when they had short hair. Upon asking the bouncer why he had said this he rolled his eyes and sarcastically apologized causing my friend to become visibly upset and leave. The bar tender we spoke to about the event was lovely and helpful. However, the bouncers actions were unacceptable.

Luv it in here. So cozy and I always feel welcome.

Nice and interesting place to have a drink. I had only hygiene issue about the place, and toilets that flush did not work.

Rude staff, rude bouncers, had to leave straight away. Bouncer was overly flirtatious and turned rude when rejected.

Firstly I’d like to apologise on my partner’s behalf for pinching the banana phone that was hanging from the ceiling. Secondly I’d like to say that this is one of my my favourite places to drink in Brighton. Staff are lovely, decor is great, I had a glass of wine replaced for me without asking after someone wandered in and pinched it and the music is great. I’ve also seen some interesting bands play here too. Really great place, full of character with a good atmosphere. Thanks and sorry.

Really friendly service , I had my dog with me too and they was more than happy to bring over , along with some water for pooch

more than just a coffee shop, I see presuming eds as a hub of life and activity, the food is incredible, the coffee is murderously good, there arent many coffee shops ive been in where i can look at any wall and see something entirley diffrent. covered in stickers doodles and drawings pres eds represents the underground/alt and arty brighton.

Fantastic little cafe that also sells beer, open late and has a really friendly and chill staff

Good snacks and coffee in characterful surroundings. Also has entertainment and meeting spaces.

Empty inside not my thing more students place, goth rock pub it seemed

Presuming eds has been through many graduations starting as a coffee shop (a great one at that) to now, a kitchen, bar, club.. what ever you need really! Serving budvar (seems hard to come by these days). You get a great experience for a decent price.. highly recommended, if you are going for food check before going as I think the kitchen has varying days/hours of service. I have only been for breakfast and have an inclining that maybe breakfast/ brunch is all the kitchen does. Don't take my word though give it a go you will be hard pressed not to have a good time.

A delicious light lunch at Eds today. I Really enjoyed the toasted bagel with grilled halloumi , chilli relish and rocket. The beetroot hummus with poached egg on toasted sourdough bread looked great and tasted as good too. All washed down with a lovely cuppa tea 😋

Presuming eds new breakfast menu is OUT OF THIS WORLD! Damn, those wild garlic mushrooms with the full English breakfast and avocado and halloumi bagel with chilli jam is simply divine. Presuming eds has always had a great reputation for food but now I'm not going to be able to keep away.

Really good atmosphere, good value happy hour drinks options. Great vegan food options, we got a brunch deal for coffee and a vegan croissant for £3.50 which I was really impressed with.

Abbiamo prenotato in questo posto una escape room! L'ambientazione è una cella di una prigione dalla quale devi scappare. L'abbiamo svolta in 4 persone! Al tuo arrivo una ragazza simpaticissima ti spiega le regole del gioco, dopodiché ammanetta in sequenza ognuno dei partecipanti e da qui inizia il conto alla rovescia per uscire dalla cella. Molto divertente! Con l'aiuto di un walkie-talkie, trovato nella stanza, abbiamo avuto qualche suggerimento per risolvere gli enigmi. Il locale è veramente pazzo! Stra pieno di oggetti che spuntano da tutte le parti!

Great coffee and amazing interior

Best sausage bap I’ve ever had. That’s saying something because I’ve never had a sausage bap that elicited a review before. Let alone a 5 star one

The coffee is the best on London road, maybe Brighton! Staff are wonderful, the music is perfect, brilliant bangers all day. Not to mention gorgeous food and endless entertainment from the decor.

What a fantastic atmosphere in there had an amazing evening 31/3/23 danced the night away with lovely people and the landlord Richard is well nice 👍 xx

Ed’s is a must visit venue if your looking for a banger of a breakfast. One of the best vegan breakfasts I’ve ever had. The scrambled tofu was epic, how do you make it so good? Portion size was perfect too. Served with a smile and great tunes, I’ll definitely be back very soon.

GREAT escape room of trying to bust out of the real life bank vault from this buildings previous life. Awesome. The bar also looked nice and lively with an excellent decor and vibe!

Really funky, great staff, and escape rooms. Whats not to love ? 10\10 ! Will be back for sure ASAP !

Remember the last time you felt lvoe? This is like that but imagine there's book covers on the walls? Oflove go it's good

A coffee house which only has full fat milk!? Come on!

Cool place,with lots going on. Great staff!!

Hands down one of the quirkiest pubs in Brighton, great staff and great atmosphere- the escape rooms are pretty good too!

Love this place. Staff are total sweethearts, and their coffee is delicious (if a little on the small side). Also; the vegan Breakfast Bap is an absolute shagger.

Interesting selection. Good atmosphere. Not cheap.

Great local spot good apnosphore - great pints and drinks deals the house larger is delicious Fun decor very brighton - roasts looked good

Was a bit concerned about mould on ceiling in toilets.

Great place with great staff, the rum and cokes taste so yummy and also the chai lattes during the day! The venue is so unique and cool I love it. The staff are great kind and accommodating what a great spot for a drink wowie! 5/5*

Love this pub so much, it has fast become my local. The staff are all lovely and the prices are more than fair. Love their little smoking area out the back where they provide blankets etc... Would highly recommend to anyone who fancies a bit more of a quirky atmosphere

Quirky and fun decor, friendly staff, very reasonable prices for drinks considering the location. Very relaxed and friendly vibe throughout with a roomy sheltered outdoor smoking area. Good music, handy location and just what an eclectic, fun drinking emporium should be. Definitely worth checking out.

Lovely place and did a fun escape room as well

Had at least an hour for lunch so popped in for cake and fine wine. Marvelous.

Fantastic place, successor to the fabulous Marwood with similar post apocalyptic, surrealist decor and great food at pre-brexit prices!

Did the escape the vault escape room, really good fun with the family

Incredible vegan patisserie!! A vegan pan au chocolate was £1.80!! And the most amazing art for the best prices around 😍

Fantastic friendly place.. Staff great, atmosphere great , food amazing.. Definitely worth lots of visits..

Fantastic Sunday roast ! One of the best veggie roasts I’ve had in ages ! The chicken roast was also very good (so I am told)

A fantastic sunny roast ! One of the best and most tasty vegetarian roasts I’ve had ! Also the meat options were very good. Very well sourced local produce - and a great portion size

Visiting here today with the family. This venue is a hidden gem for foodies. The best Sunday roast I have had in a long time! The venue is very quirky and offers something different from the norm. I had the roast pork belly which was beautifully cooked, the meat was moist and tender and the crackling was probably the best I have ever had. The accompanying roast potatoes, onions, shredded cabbage and leek and baby carrots on a bed of pureed were equally delicious. All this was presented on the plate in a equally pleasing style. Other members of the group had the roast chicken , nut roast and roasted squash and all were equally delicious. The five clean plates at the end says it all. The coffee was very good too. All served up with an efficient and friendly staff.

Great lunch spot and late night cafe bar with loads of vegan options, games, a toad table, garden space out back, excellent music taste and laid back vibes.

Potentially the best place for coffee or a beer in Brighton

Another quirky Brighton bar. Limited opening hours

The staff are amazing, they look after us escape room hosts well and always have a friendly smile

Enjoyed the coffee and vegan croissant deal this morning with the little one. Love the art work outside too!!

Coffee and beer in the same place! What an epic thing. For something quint essentially Brighton this place is a MUST!

Phenomenal service, to the guy that served me I hope you get a raise. I had 10 minutes to catch a train back to London and stopped in to grab a cappuccino for myself, an oat milk latte for my girlfriend and a normal latte for her mum. The gentleman worked his magic 🎩 ✨️ and I was out of there quicker than lightning 🌩 . Made the train and the ladies were happy

Great coffee and budvar beer, good vibrations!

Totally out there coffee shop/restaurant/bar nuts deco, and cute little garden, music was wacky but interesting, had a bacon bap ton of meat but a bit salty you’ll need a drink after, defo worth a trip man!

The coffee is lovely, the staff are all nice, helpful and kind. The only thing that let it down for me was the pumping music. It was a bit loud for me. It's totally cool but I was struggling to hear my friends convo so we went somewhere a bit quieter. I know the importance of music when you are doing a tough job but it was maybe a bit too loud for me. Well worth checking out. Its the best place for coffee on London Rd that I have found. Maybe I'm just getting too old and grumpy.

We stumbled across this place last night when we managed to get a table despite every pub being really busy and we are so happy that chance took us here! The owner and staff are amazing, so funny and friendly, the vibe is lovely and great service! Well priced drinks, got that Brighton vibe we all love. We are soooo excited to come back to do the escape room and VR, and get some brekkie and coffee. Thank you for putting a well-needed smile on our faces post lockdown! See you soon!

Never have I payed 6.50 for porridge and thought "That was worth it"; today I did. Lovely coffee as well.

Always a good bit of cake or sandwich to be tempted by

Great place, great vibe. Nice outdoor seating area, good for people watching if you've got nothing else to do. Also, alcohol-free beer on draught.
