The best pubs in Hanover

Stand-out Hanover pub Haus on the Hill is widely regarded as one of Brighton's best, thanks to its stellar drinks, good grub, and convivial atmosphere. With more than 20 draught lines covering craft beers, ales, ciders, and German lagers, as well as gluten-free and alcohol-free options, it caters to every taste. The kitchen keeps standards high too, serving one of the city's finest Sunday roasts alongside comforting pub favs throughout the week.

True to its name, The Setting Sun offers some of the finest sunset views in Brighton from its rooftop terrace, best enjoyed with a well-poured pint in hand. The Hanover pub's menu features classic pub favourites made with care, complemented by a solid range of drinks to suit every taste. Regular gigs and live sports screenings add to the lively yet laidback atmosphere that makes this spot a local favourite.

The Dover Castle is a charmingly traditional pub in Hanover with wooden interiors, low ceilings, and candlelit corners that make for a warm, intimate setting. The bar serves a solid mix of classic pints and local Sussex ales, while Thai food from Fat Cat Thai Kitchen adds an unexpected twist, with curries, stir fries, and noodles all served. Live folk music nights, pub quizzes, and other events add to the good times here.

The Geese really puts its neighbourhood front and centre, selecting a different Hanover street for a discount every fortnight. Not only that – this Hanover pub is also a bangers and mash OG, boasting a menu that offers up to 540 combinations of sausages, mash, and gravies, from classic combos to creative favourites. The award-winning pub entices fresh faces and keeps regulars coming back with great food, friendly vibes, and lively entertainment.

Home to what is assuredly one of the biggest disco balls in the northern hemisphere, The Islingword offers freshly poured pints and juicy burgers served straight from the food truck park up in the garden out back. Recently refurbished, the Hanover pub combines quirky charm with a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere and sweeping views over Brighton, just a stone's throw from Queen's Park.
