The George Payne Pub

The George Payne is a community pub in Hove, Brighton, where dogs are welcome inside. Built for lingering and choosing your favourite corner, it offers a cosy lounge feel plus outdoor space with a front terrace and a beer garden setup made for relaxed catch-ups.

Food and drinks are a big part of the draw, and the overall vibe is friendly and inclusive rather than scene-y. It's a strong choice when you want a proper local atmosphere with enough space to settle in for a while, ideal for an easy lunch then a slow pint that accidentally becomes two.

Dogs can join you inside or out, so nobody needs to do the pavement-waiting shuffle. Whether you're claiming a corner booth or a garden table, there's room for paws, pints and the kind of afternoon that stretches longer than planned.
