A pub chain announced it had created 40 jobs when it opened a new branch today.
JD Wetherspoon has spent £1.5 million refurbishing the superpub on the site of the former McClusky's bar in West Street, Brighton.
The premises has bars on the first and second floor and will simply be called Wetherspoons.
The company has one other pub in the city, the Cliftonville in George Street, Hove, but will open more if the latest one proves successful.
JD Wetherspoon specialises in converting rundown buildings into pubs.
