Customer Review Summary
Cocktails are the draw, with reviewers singling out the pickle margarita, the Twisted 75, an espresso martini, and Tropical Thunder and daiquiris. The mocktail menu earns its own praise, one reviewer saying a spicy margarita mocktail tasted even better than a cocktail. Close behind is the staff, described as friendly, chatty, and quick, with two birthday diners saying their server made the evening special. The light bites also get a mention, with olives called fresh and generous, and one reviewer says the happy hour deals keep a night out from being extortionate. Complaints are few and mild. One couple who stopped in after their registry office wedding on a Wednesday afternoon felt the occasion went unacknowledged, and another diner found the old-school hip hop out of place in an otherwise cozy room. Small touches stick in memory, including a server who helped rearrange a table setting for a birthday group and a freshen up basket in the bathroom.

“We’ve always enjoyed coming here and have had some lovely experiences in the past, so we were really excited to visit after our registry office wedding and celebrate with a few drinks. The cocktails were, as always, lovely, and we still had a nice time. However, we were a little disappointed that the occasion didn’t feel particularly acknowledged, especially as we had previously had such a warm and personal experience here. We weren’t expecting anything extravagant, but even a small acknowledgement would have made the visit feel a little more special. It’s a lovely bar and we’ll certainly continue to enjoy coming here, but this particular visit just didn’t have quite the special touch we had hoped for on such an important day. We do wonder if this was the case as it was a Wednesday afternoon, and may have had a more special experience on another day with other bartenders.”

“Genuinely one of the best espresso martinis in Brighton. Came here for my partners birthday and was served by Rose who was fantastic !! Super attentive and also hilarious !! Really made our evening great. Also really like the little freshen up basket in the bathroom it’s only something small but is a nice little touch for the customers . Will definitely be back for more cocktails !!”

“Been coming here for some time now but only coming to write a review today. We absolutely love it here after some tries finding the right place in Brighton for cocktails to our taste and styles we came here and never stopped looking away, amazing cocktails with plenty of selections but most of all really friendly, chatty staff who thrive with great service. Highly recommend Tropical thunder/daiquiris!! But overall an excellent run business, look forward to coming back again!! Many thanks again! 😁”

“Best cocktails I've had. The mocktail menu is for me the best part. I've never had a spicy margarita mocktail that tastes even better than a cocktail. The light bites menu is perfect complimenting the very extensive menu of cocktails, the olives fresh and generous. The staff are friendly and considering the superior cocktails and their presentation, it's a very fast service with a smile and a great music playlist in the background. I'd recommend this place for solos, groups, special occasions or just a treat after a day's work or break during shopping at churchill square or the Lanes. Even better than cocktails I've had at Ivy Asia and the Grand and that's saying something. Thanks Hollie and Jack.”
