Much improved, by the look of things. The Colonnade is one of my favourite pubs in Brighton. Always a pleasure to sit quietly in a corner and watch all the shouty actors.

Very nice pub. It reminds me of the pleasant times I've spent in Brighton.

I once did a photo shoot in this pub and it has a fantastic interior as well.

I realy loved this pub and had some great times there.

Always a pricey place to drink but worth it now and then to see and hear the over the top theatrical "luvvies" and Brighton characters who used to frequent it. This was Brighton's version of bars in Fitzrovia. Can't imagine many of the luvvies drank that awful 1970s slop Red Barrel though....what were brewers like Watneys thinking in those days?

I remember seeing Arthur Askey and Kathy Kirby waving to us from an upstairs balcony of this pub. I also saw Hermoine Gingold, had had a few drinks myself to see the actors come in from the Theatre Royal.
