Local score
No. 70 of 212 pubs & bars on r/brighton, from 33 locals across 33 threads.
100% would send a mate. Still recommended in 2026.
A reliable, no-frills football pub near Brighton station on Upper Gloucester Road, recommended repeatedly for watching matches, playing pool and a Tuesday quiz. It's described as small with standing room, fits the 'old man pub with football on' vibe, and is dog-friendly. (Note: a separate, unrelated Duke of Wellington in Shoreham comes up in the same threads and is excluded here.)

What locals say
No, definitely not decent 😂 I like Duke of Wellington or maybe The Eddy next door for sport, proper pubs and good sized TVs. You mentioned London Road - I expect New Unity should be showing it too.
Always up for meeting new people! The pubs near me are the Evening Star, Caxton Arms and Duke of Wellington. All great spots. Drop me a line if you wanna…
The Duke of Wellington and The Sussex Albion are two that haven't been mentioned yet. I can't think of a single pub along Western Road that has one.
The Edinburgh, The Duke of Wellington, Caxton. I believe the golden cannon of you want something in Kemp Town.
