A really nice and fun boozer. Has the vibe of a place that would get really silly late at night. Loved the pic of Charlie day behind the bar 🤣 will be back. No food but you can order in if you want.

Yeah - like this place. Hidden away a little bit, I reckon, but a good pub with a lovely person behind the jump, and nice places to sit at inside. And Neck Oil. Good stuff.

Such a great atmosphere and happy efficient staff. We were there last Saturday afternoon and the guy playing the music was incredible. He said he was going to be there again in 3 Thursdays time so we will definitely be back.

A pub we've visited many times over our years coming to Brighton. A proper back street boozer with great staff - a really chilled place to while away and hour or two. Had great DJs on over pride weekend for the last two years.

I love this pub, all the staff are kind and lovely to all customers. They have a wonderful sense of humour and creativity. Caela always makes everyone feel incredibly wanted and welcome and also Bloopy is a delightful mascot for an already charming venue.

I went here with a group of friends to have a change of scenery from our usual pubs. I really enjoyed having a few drinks here it was a good atmosphere, there was a dj playing a decent mix of classic tunes, however my friends prefer somewhere a little quieter so we did move on after a couple of drinks

I feel like this place is a bit of a hidden gem. Perfect cosy vibes, there’s always very relaxed atmosphere easy going and welcoming. It’s a great spot for a pint and a catch-up after work.

The Foundry is one of Brighton's backstreet gems offering a relaxed vibe and cheerful service. Given how many pubs have been re-furbed out-of recognition in Brighton in the past 10 years, The Foundry Brighton has done very well to hold onto some of it’s dark and dingy comfort while offering punters a more contemporary offering. Every time I’ve visited recently, usually mid-afternoon, the playlist has been leaking out a fantastic selection of blues, rock and americana spanning the 60s to 80s. BBB recommend!

Great little pub just around the corner from me in the North Laine (not Laines thank you). Open fires to warm yourself by on a winters day or evening. Good selection of drinks including good value house wine. Dog friendly, they love my two little pouches. Warm welcome from the friendly staff. One of many great businesses in this lovely little village in our big fab city. Come and see for yourself.

It's been many a year since this place saw a lick of paint or new furnishings and it's all the better for it. In the North Laine but seemingly undiscovered by tourists I love popping in here for a couple of drinks at different times of the day. Friendly staff and a good selection of drinks served up with great music playing away in the background.Have never eaten her but the Sunday roasts look amazing

the roasts were totally vegan, there were four options and all of them were delicious - beer flavoured mustard was a bit weird and it was a little cold in the pub, but apart from that a great experience

This pub is off the beaten track and an absolute haven if you are looking to enjoy some good ale and hearty food. The staff are incredibly conscientious of their customers, my friend and I were well taken care of by the bar staff, cooks and chef who made us two casual pub goers feel like very comfortable and welcome guests. I cannot recommend The Foundry enough. As a well travelled pub goer, it takes the trophy as my personal favourite pub in Brighton by a long shot.

We went for a family Sunday dinner for a special birthday, the building is lovely. It's a like a classic pub on the ground floor, a high-end restaurant upstairs and there is also a lovely roof terrace (not a balcony but the ceiling is open so it feels like an open-air space) with lots of plants and relaxed tables and benches. The food was really good - most of our party got the roasts, which were big portions and came with great roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings. I got a veggie meal, which was a smaller portion than I was expecting (was supposed to come with puffed lentils, which I thought would be a big portion of the plate but there was only a handful of lentils scattered about) but luckily not everyone could eat their potatoes so I had a couple of those too. Food was very slow to arrive, we didn't mind at all as were in no rush but this might annoy some people! We all wandered off to different sections and some of us sat drinking upstairs while we waited.

Came to dine here today, friendly staff, short wait for food and caters for allergy requirements. Food was mediocre but very one dish fits all, even to the point that every dish comes covered in gravy rather then a separate gravy boat as a one wood expect. Not enough root vegetables and cabbage that had been spirallised and not very hearty. Salt and pepper were pre ground and cake in a standard shaker rather then a grinder which was disappointing. Venue was clean and presentable but not much character. It was an ok meal, nothing more nothing less. I wouldn’t be in a hurry to return as no attention to fine details. What annoyed me from the word go, they didn’t accept American Express.

Popped in last night for some food and drink as their food is good ..... If they are serving it ! I was first to arrive as I was meeting a mate there at 8pm. However, arrived at 7.55pm to find the kitchen had just closed as "it's quiet tonight". The lady behind the counter was apologetic and offered a refund on my drink I just bought. My only advice is check if food will be on offer when you plan to go. Disappointed, we moved on elsewhere ..... Leaving the pub even quieter !

Para tres en la ruta del pub. La última vez que estuve aquí fue cuando trabajaba en la sala de clasificación de la oficina de correos de al lado cuando estaba en la escuela: como todos habíamos estado juntos en la escuela, esta fue una historia similar para varios de los viejos muchachos. Éramos casi los únicos clientes a media tarde, entre semana. El chico del bar estuvo atrapado en la bomba de Harvey por un tiempo ya que el rango de opciones había sido ignorado y la mayoría ya estaba tomando Harvey. La cerveza fue probablemente la mejor, la tarde se guardó y se pasó otra media hora más o menos probándola. Luego, en la búsqueda de alimentos que estuvieran bien para todos, y las instalaciones fueran lo suficientemente grandes

A year since I visited this little gem and the food and service was once again PERFECT! Central and right by Brighton Staunton. And despite being busy we were welcomed in, served very quickly and received our orders in under 45 mins. Plus we all received GENEROUS portions and all the food was presented well and tasted great! Service is just how it should be in a traditional style pub like this, very friendly and helpful but not too pushy and keen! I had the vegan option, a roasted red pepper roast, my partner had beef, my friend had chicken (a WHOLE chicken) and my dad had lamb! All our food looked and tasted delicious. ALL FOR £8.95 too which in Brighton is unheard of!!!! Thanks again! Liz

Only a short stroll away from the bustle of North Laines is this great wee pub that dors a great selection of food at affordable prices, Many choices of Veggie Burgers and meat options and good pints at good prices. The pub has a gritty old feel about it that it feels it has earnt with some good old tunes that take me back in the back ground. Good service from the eclectic staff, I willl return with guests The Foundry will definitely be revisited and reccomend if you are looking at something a bit different.

Fuimos a la fiesta infantil de Halloween y honestamente fue una de las mejores noches que hemos tenido. Mi pequeña se lo pasó muy bien e incluso pude relajarme gracias al tipo de comunidad que había allí. No puedo hablar lo suficiente sobre este lugar. Hacen tanto por la comunidad que no se ve hecho lo suficientemente a menudo. El personal es increíble también!
