Brighton’s best-kept secret, Twisted Lemon, is tucked away in the Laines and is popular with students and Brighton residents in the know. The menu is lengthy, so be sure to take a pal so you can both try out each others.
The clue’s in the name with this one, and it certainly lives up to it. The menu, which features cocktails like Tequila Mockingbird and Sweet Chai’d of Mine, is inventive and heavy on the puns, which is a nice touch.
Another one for all your Instagrammers out there, this bar has some stunning decor and equally stunning cocktails to offer. They’re named after nearby locations around Brighton, so you’ll have to stop by and see for yourself which one is your favourite.
Bonus points awarded to the Plotting Parlour for daring flavour combinations like honey and mint. For something a little sweeter try a Gin Jam Fizz, and relax and soak up the chilled-out vibes of this low-lit, atmospheric cocktail bar.
It may be a chain, but this Mexican restaurant serves such lovely cocktails it would be a shame to miss it out.

Again, this bar is a chain, but the cocktails in here are fancy AF, and nothing short of exquisite. They serve all the classics, plus a lot of new takes on old favourites.
