The Joker - BrightonB+

2 Preston Rd, Brighton and Hove, Brighton BN1 4QF · Pub, Cocktail bar · The Lanes

Bustling pub with standout wings, lively cocktails, and strong private-hire game, but service warmth and allergy handling vary widely.

Why this grade

The Joker delivers solid neighborhood pub performance anchored by crowd-pleasing wings with consistent praise and staff who excel at making group events memorable. However, occasional cold food and missing items alongside scattered service inconsistencies prevent a higher grade. Strong value and lively atmosphere make it worth visiting for casual dining and private hire, though it doesn't reach the reliability standards of top-tier local establishments.

One caveat: Service can feel brusque at busy times; a few guests felt unwelcome
