The Wick Inn
Brighton
At a glance
The Wick Inn is a traditional Hove pub on Western Road, just off Palmeira Square. Its interior combines Victorian green tiling, tinted windows and hanging flower baskets with plenty of seating arranged around a central island bar. The setting has the familiar character of a neighbourhood local, with a sociable atmosphere that suits casual drinks, catch-ups and evenings out across a broad age range.
Drinks are a central part of the pub's appeal. The bar serves a selection of Sussex ales from independent breweries alongside craft beers from specialist brewers around the world. The range also includes other quality drinks, making the Wick Inn suitable for a relaxed pint, a more considered beer choice or a meeting over drinks. The lively, convivial mood continues into the evening, with the bar serving late.
The pub also houses an authentic Thai kitchen. Thai food is served from Monday to Saturday, with a lunch service from midday to 3pm and an evening service from 5pm to 10pm. The kitchen gives the Wick Inn a distinctive food offering within a classic pub setting, pairing Thai cooking with the informal atmosphere of a local drinking house. The combination works for diners looking for something beyond standard pub fare as well as for groups with mixed plans for an evening.
Regular entertainment adds to the pub's community focus. The programme includes a Tuesday night pub quiz, live jazz on Wednesdays and poker tournaments on Thursdays. These events give the Wick Inn a different rhythm across the week, from quiz teams and music fans to those looking for a more activity-led night out. Event times and arrangements can be confirmed directly with the pub.
An upstairs speakeasy bar is available for private hire, providing an option for parties and private functions. The Wick Inn therefore works in several ways: as a local stop for drinks, a Thai dining venue, a place for organised evening entertainment and a setting for private gatherings. Located at 63 Western Road, Hove BN3 1JD, it is well placed for anyone spending time around Palmeira Square and the surrounding streets of Brighton and Hove.
