As we are free of any brewery, pub chain or tie, The Independent is a true freehouse pub in the Hanover/Queens Park area of Brighton.
As a freehouse, we are able to offer a more exciting choice of beers, wines and spirits. Currently we have four real ales alongside 12 keg beers, but these change weekly so we recommend popping by to see what’s new on the bar! A few of our past and present beers can be found here.
Our delicious menu mixes traditional British dishes with Mediterranean and other European flavours, including tasty vegetarian options. Everything is freshly prepared by our chef and made from the finest ingredients, and our menu changes daily – you can see a typical menu here.
And of course come Sunday, we serve a full meat and vegetarian roast menu.
We welcome dogs just as warmly as their owners, and we’re open every day of the week! We look forward to seeing you soon.

Fully vegan friendly beer heaven. I know my beers but several here am clueless about, that's a good thing! Great place lucky you if you are local
Unassuming from the outside but incredibly relaxed and cosy inside, with a fantastic selection of beers which you can also take away. Some nice wine too and good value. Best bit- all the cute dogs!
Came here recently and had nothing short of a great time. Had a wide range of beers to choose from and the bartender was really friendly and talkative. The vibe was really welcoming and cosy. We only planned to stay for one drink but ended up staying for a few hours. possibly my new favorite pub in Brighton. Can't comment on the food however but i would definity recommend this place to anyone.
A great bar/tap room which is a nice distance from the seafront and well worth the uphill trip which takes about 15 minutes. You feel like you deserve a pint by doing that! On a sunny day the outside front area is very pleasant, although it can get quite busy quite quickly. The beer selection was excellent too and well priced. The Bohemia lager was very good and you could spend weeks getting through all they have on tap or in the fridge. The service was friendly too. Would pop by again if in the area.
Very good visit! Drinks were awesome. Just be ready for a bit of a hike up the hill to find this wonderful craft beer place! But its worth it!
