An amazingly welcoming pub no matter who what you are; the reopening I December was a welcome treat and we're glad it has found its foothold in the heart of Kemptown once more.
Booked for weekend brunch in one of the igloos. As other reviewers have stated the igloos are not private so you are sharing a small intimate space with other couples. Didn't bother my wife and I too much, however if you were after a romantic hideaway for food this isn't it. Coffee was nice, though very small cups at around £3 a pop. And the breakfast was average and a bit pricey for what you get. Overall the igloo experience was a bit of a novelty I think - especially in daylight, and is probably better at night when the fairy lights are on. Not bad overall, just not great and wouldn't go back.
Went to the Amsterdam on Monday 6th November for lunch with a friend and had nice experience. Nice decor and ambience. Classic lunch menu was very tasty and extremely reasonably priced - £6 for main choice & £3 for desserts. Decided to book again for Thursday 30th November in the evening for group of 5 female friends. Our evening could not have gone better, good company, good food - well priced and served by friendly staff. Will definitely put the Amsterdam on our regular visit list. This pub was friendly and inviting and had nice atmosphere. Would not hesitate to recommend it.
we stopped here on a business trip for lunch. i had the old favourite Scampi and chips, a nice plate full for £6.00. i tried the mulled cider which sounded strange but tasted great, i had never had a warm cider before and i plan on having more.
Brighton's oldest and much loved gay bar undergoing a new surge in popularity with the leather, rubber, fetish and bear communities. Well done, people!
What a lovely host was Davina Peter. And Sam his partner made myself and my partner very welcome. Of which were on holiday from Walsall near Birmingham. It's a very rare that you hear a voice. And you were fantastic. We will see you very soon kindness and respect from Mick and Phil

Went to this pub years ago and it was great, went to go in this evening with four other friends and they point blanked refused us entry as "we were a group" no other reason given, I've never been so unwelcomed in any other establishment in Brighton before, avoid at all costs!
I like it anyway. £5 for pint of Atlantic Pale Ale!
Very nice place to hang out with friends . The karaoke nights are so much fun staff are super friendly !
