Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Thursday nights are Karaoke with Chris Hide who is the best Karaoke host I have ever experienced. Chris is a fantastic singer himself but his main attribute is his charming friendly personality who really cares about giving the best possible service to the patrons.

I get so nervous going into town now. However, the warmth of reception by all was out of this world and made my flatmate and I feel immediately at ease. As for the food, I kinda begrudge giving their Sunday roasts a 15/10 as would...love to keep that wonderful place a little gem for Brightonians a secret still. Thank you all xMore

Popped in for a drink when I was at a loose end staying in Brighton alone for a conference. I felt so welcomed and comfortable being here alone that I stayed for a couple more. Lovely friendly staff and customers alike. If I'm ever in...Brighton again I'll be sure to return.More

When in Brighton we always come here. The pub is fantastic, camp and very welcomming. Tonight we had a Thai meal from the kitchen , which is the latest people to " rent" the space. Very oily but enjoyable. Dont let this put you off...the awesome pub but maybe the food doesnt quite cut it.More

Hidden away in the corner of Regency Square, this great find is a haven of old style camp. Friendly staff serve up a delicious Sunday roast at a reasonable cost. There is cabaret on offer several nights week, with other entertainment also on offer. Give...it a try. You will love itMore

Popped in for a quick half pint at the end of a long day, as it's a stones throw from my hotel. Elegant pub. I realise the South of England is expensive, and on a three day holiday I was relaxed about paying the going...rate (apart from Wetherspoons) of between £4.80 and £5.60 for pints of 6 - 7% real cider. But not £6 for a bog standard 3.7% Shepherd Neame bitter. Don't know how some pubs get away with it.More

We arrived for a drag brunch which had been mis-sold to us via another company. The owner and staff at Regency Tavern were lovely about it! They understood what had happened (it was not their fault, a separate bad actor is selling fake tickets through...legitimate websites like Eventbrite) and they did everything they could to help sort things out. They managed to fit us into the drag brunch they had running that day (which was not the one we'd booked so we had to pay - again, not their fault - and advised us on getting a refund from the scammer). Be aware that it may not be possible for them to fit you into their show if you've also been a victim of fake tickets. The show was great, the Thai food was lovely and the bottomless cocktails were generous. Thank you so much to the staff for doing what they could to salvage my best friend's hen party when they were under no obligation to do so.More

We’ve become regulars in this one off of a pub. Hidden away in the top end of a lovely square, the staff are all friendly and welcoming. A great atmosphere and sunday lunch is a must. Check it out when you visit this wonderful city.

This pub was recommended to us whilst visiting Brighton. Made to feel really welcome on arrival, found us a table even though they were very busy. We both had roast beef and we were not disappointed. We look forward to a repeat Sunday visit as...this is the only day they do food. Although if we are in Brighton during the week we have been told the entertainment is worth seeing,!More

We have walked past this pub countless times over the years without going in ,but have to say we that won’t be happen again. Nipped in here last night (Saturday) and had one of the funniest hours we’ve had in years. From the get go...the staff were so friendly and welcoming. The decor is absolutely fabulous. The icing on the cake was the pianist, he was hysterical. We honestly laughed until our sides hurt and almost nearly missed our meal ,as we desperately wanted to see who won musical bingo.More
