A Western Road pub known for cheap Thai food, a Thursday poker night and a Wednesday jazz speakeasy upstairs, with a room often hired out for parties. Reviews are split — some call it a friendly, chatty local with bargain Guinness (£14 for two pints), while a thread literally titled 'The Wick Inn' calls it an awful pub.

What locals say
Speakeasy poker night at The Wick Inn in Hove. https://m.facebook.com/groups/174795369637429/ Great host and great crown. Very friendly game. Normally it’s a tournament format with a £3-4 buy in. There’s a league too.
Temple Bar, Royal Sovereign, Wick Inn and Bee's Mouth are usually open until midnight on weekdays. does scran. The first 3 do food (Wick and Sov do thai). Bee's Mouth has live jazz on a Monday eve which is pretty good, and you might spot Dylan Moran there.
The Royal Sovereign on Preston Street, The Wick Inn near Palmeira Square and The Albert below Brighton Station are all friendly pubs where you can strike up a conversation with other locals.
