Freemasons Tavern, Hove, Grade II listed pub in Western Road, Hove, England.
Freemasons Tavern is a pub on Western Road in Hove with an L-shaped layout, dual frontage, bay windows, pilasters, and a slate-tiled mansard roof across three stories. The building houses function rooms on upper floors and maintains its original architectural character throughout.
The building was constructed in the 1850s when Thomas Lindfield served as its first landlord. A major renovation by Kemp Town Brewery in 1928 brought expansion and Art Deco styling to the structure.
The interior displays Art Deco details designed by Denman & Son, with blue and gold mosaics featuring Masonic symbols and ornamental plasterwork that visitors can see when they enter.
The pub is open on various days throughout the week with multi-level seating and function spaces available. Visitors should be aware that the venue spans several floors, which affects movement through the space.
The 1928 renovation added an ornate mosaic facade with a curved screen entrance that introduces visitors to the preserved Art Deco interiors beyond. This paired exterior and interior design from that era remains fully intact today.
