About
The Hand in Hand has been serving regulars and holiday makers since at least 1830 and more recently awarded Brighton's best pub in 2019 & 2020.
Steeped in history (rumour has it Max Miller and Laurence OIivier used to meet up and have writing sessions here!) but not only that, it is actually home to Brighton's oldest and only tower brewery, established in 1989 by the late Bev Robbins. The brewery is still used to this day, more recently known as Hand Brew Co - est 2016.
A tiny back street corner boozer, with a hugely warm and friendly welcome, The Hand in Hand is a place you can enter on your own, and leave 6 hours later with 10 new friends. With an excellent hodgepodge of a demographic, The Hand hosts some of Brighton's most loved eccentric characters, budding musicians, poets and artists.
Some may say it's Brighton's best kept secret, and we're not surprised, otherwise you would never get a seat! ha!
If Jazz is your thing, then you have hit the Jackpot. Every Sunday for the last 15years, The Hand in Hand's Jazz residents have raised the roof and it's quite possibly one of the busiest nights in town.
If you like home brews, friendly chit chats and a spot of Jazz in a very traditional setting, then this is hands down, your new favourite hidey hole.
If you are taking a day trip along the south coast, we have just expanded our brewery Hand Brew Co to Worthing. Keep an eye out on our social media for news on brewery tours and other nuggets of bonkers we have to offer.
* Currently during restrictions, our outside seating is only until 9pm. When we are allowed to sit inside, then we will be open until midnight Mon - Sat/ 11.30pm on Sundays.
