We moved to Brighton a short while ago and from the first day we wondered into Brighton Rocks we where welcomed with open arms. The atmosphere is incredible, vibrant and professional. The drinks are to die for and made by mixologists, so even the standard bourbon and mixer comes tasting incredible with great attention to detail. To make things better the whole drinks menu is reasonably priced, so you can enjoy a great night without the financial fear one can feel the morning after. The biggest attraction is the staff and landlord’s, you are welcomed with table service and you are never without a drink before your approached and asked if your ok and would like another drink. The staff always wear a smile and take the time to get to know you, let alone give advice on drinks should you require. The beers have been hand selected to ensure the highest quality. You are spoilt with the finest lagers and beers. You will not be able to find a fosters or alike at this venue but you won’t be disappointed with the alternatives. Huge selection of wines to your choice and without a doubt the finest whiskey selection I have certainly ever witnessed. I can definitely advise the Rip Van Winkle if you go. It’s incredible. The whole pub is covered in art that draws your attention, you could spend hours just appreciating the incredible and vibrant art around the establishment. Secondly the seating is comfortable with an outside area which is covered with a view of the sea. All in all, the venue is incredible and I can’t recommend it highly enough, you experience the real Brighton! Undoubtedly Kemptowns best kept secret and be sure to ask about Lez the rabbit!

Don't miss this Brighton gem. A fantastically quirky bar which will be loved by old goths and rockers as well as young ones. A proper rockers pub in style with an artistic flare and an extensively stocked bar. We were greated with a warm smile and treated like friends. The barman, also the manager, seemed to love his job and he easily communicated his passion to us whilst making us one of his cocktail experiments which was delicious. We stayed for ages, soaking up the vibes from regular and new customers, surveying the well priced art and looking at different cabinets of curiosities. I would have loved it if they hosted themed nights like a proper old school rock and metal night and then it would have ticked all my boxes. I think they could make more of the wierd, I suggest they would find inspiration at the Victor Wynd Musuem and Absinthe Bar in London.

I have lived in Brighton for just over a year now and make it a personal goal to visit a new pub every week. I wish I visited Brighton Rocks sooner. Tucked away down a little street in Kemptown you could easily miss this place but it's worth a visit. Has a New Orleans theme and extremely tasty cocktails, although they are on the pricier end at around £11 a pop. Lots of interesting craft beers and lagers on tap as well. Doesn't get too busy whilst still having a good vibe and atmosphere. Theme makes it a more eclectic choice than other Kemptown offerings. Recommended 👍

This was our first visit to this fantastic bar. From the outside, we didn't know what to expect, but on a cold winter night, the bar looked warm and inviting. The cocktail menu is one of the most amazing I have ever seen with signature cocktails containing a variety of specialist spirits and liquers, some of which I have never heard of. The bar staff were very friendly and welcoming and knowledgeable about what they were serving. The decoration of the bar is eclectic, but it works, and the area we sat in had comfy sofas next to an open fire.

Loved this bar!! Found by chance off a side road and glad we did. It sums up everything about Brighton really, quirky, offbeat, slightly grubby 🤗 did a mean bloody Mary for me, perfect! It was pouring when we went so sat inside which is quite dark but SO much to look at, decor is just crazy and fantastic, art and all sorts. An excellent place to visit. Only reason for one star off is the table was really quite sticky and rad not working so a little cold, no great bother for a good night though, we had a great time.

Great beers & Ale, lovely atmosphere, fantastic cocktails and an even the music was spot on 👌 Top that with one of the friendliest and professional bartenders I've had the pleasure to be served by, and you've got a winner ✨ Can't believe this is the first time I got to visit this hidden gem, that's a 10/10 in my book!
