The Better Half Pub

The Better Half, situated a stone's throw from Hove seafront on Hove Place, is a historic pub, previously known as The Cliftonville Arms, The Mary Pack, and The Red Lion, that has been given a new lease of life by Simon Stern since 2015. The refurbishment didn't just freshen up the inside; it gave the pub personality and a proper sense of community. Expect warmth and a friendly buzz, alongside a menu of refined pub classics made with local and seasonal produce wherever possible. There's always something going on here, from live jazz music to vinyl DJs, which are always advertised online.
