About The Poets Ale & Smokehouse
The Poets Ale & Smokehouse keeps things simple - we're about proper food, cold drinks, and good company. Our 16-hour slow-smoked BBQ is what brings people through the door first, but it's the atmosphere that keeps them coming back. Whether you're tucking into our American-style pulled pork and brisket or working through a plate of fruit wood-smoked ribs, there's something satisfying about eating food that's been cooked low and slow. We've got four distinct spaces here at 33 Montgomery Street in Hove. The main bar buzzes with conversation and the crack of pool balls from upstairs, while our snug offers a quieter spot by the fireplace - perfect when you want to actually hear your dinner companions. Out back, our secret garden provides a peaceful escape from the street, and the upstairs lounge doubles as our function room, complete with pool table and dartboard for private parties. Our kitchen team takes pride in catering to everyone - vegetarians and vegans get proper meals, not afterthoughts, and we've got a solid gluten-free selection too. Kids eat well here with their own menu, and Sundays mean traditional roasts alongside our regular smokehouse offerings. Multiple screens throughout mean you won't miss the match, and yes, your dog is welcome to join you. We host live music nights and themed food festivals throughout the year, transforming from daytime family spot to evening entertainment venue. The upstairs function room works brilliantly for birthday parties, work gatherings, or any celebration where you want your own space but still feel part of the pub's energy. Our team knows how to look after groups while keeping that relaxed, community pub feel that makes The Poets what it is.
