Old Albion

Old Albion is a pub at 110 Church Road in Hove, with a drinks-led identity and a straightforward local setting. The venue’s offer centres on gin and craft beer, giving it a clear focus for visitors looking for a pub rather than a formal restaurant. Its character comes through in the combination of drinks, bookings and programmed events.

Gin and craft beer are the most clearly defined parts of the drinks offer. They give Old Albion a useful point of difference within the Church Road pub scene, while keeping the overall format relaxed and social. The venue also promotes events connected with its drinks, including gin and craft beer occasions, alongside seasonal Christmas events. These provide an event-focused element in addition to standard pub visits.

The setting is on Church Road in Hove, within the wider Brighton and Hove area. Its location makes it suited to local pub occasions, informal meet-ups and visitors looking for a place to enjoy a drink in a dedicated pub environment. The atmosphere is best understood through the venue’s simple format: a neighbourhood pub with a drinks focus, regular opening throughout the week and a calendar that includes special events.

Old Albion’s published opening hours run from midday until midnight from Sunday to Thursday, with later closing at 1am on Friday and Saturday. That schedule allows for daytime visits as well as evening drinks, while the later weekend hours give the venue a different rhythm at the end of the week. Opening hours can be checked alongside booking information before a visit.

The venue also offers gift cards, adding a practical option for those looking to give an Old Albion visit as a present. Bookings are available through the venue, and direct contact is provided for enquiries. With its Hove pub setting, gin and craft beer focus, seasonal events and late weekend hours, Old Albion suits visitors seeking a casual drinks destination with occasional programmed activities rather than a highly formal dining experience.
