Continuing the exploration of Lewes along with Paul Mudge we left the rather excellent Lewes Arms and took the backstreet route to our next destination, The Rights Of Man. After a couple of blind alleys we emerged from a small opening onto the High Street, turning right out of the alleyway we decided it should be “just up here a bit”, It was in fact immediately next door to the left of the gap we came out of, something we realised 100 yards to late.
The Rights Of Man , a Harvey’s Pub with a narrow frontage, but once inside seems reasonably roomy.
It was quiet as we entered, the interior is modern/traditional, smart and tastefully done , but lacks any of the authentic charm and ambiance of the Lewes Arms. There are six handpumps in total and there was a decent and varied range of Harvey’s beers available, I opted for the Wild Hop which was Ok but no more than NBSS 2.5.
The pub slowly began to increase its custom but we were done here and I left not unsatisfied with the pub but also with no great desire to rush back.
The exterior bears some similarity to the Vaults in Uttoxeter.

It does indeed, I don’t know that pub, but from the outside it looks more naturally traditional.

I’d recognize that walk anywhere!

ALWAYS our leader is Paul.
I liked the Rights of Man. It is undoubtedly a fake, but a good one, and the Best was good enough. Also good to see tourists drinking cask.

Yes, nothing wrong with the pub or beer, just not the real deal for me.
