Quick info
About The Lounge Bar
The Lounge Bar is a bar in Brighton at 14 Ship St, set by the seafront. A pool table gives visitors a game to play alongside their drinks, which makes it a practical pick for a longer stay. The cocktail list includes a strawberry daiquiri and a mojito, both made at the bar. Music plays through the room, so it works as a stop for an evening drink or a few frames of pool. Food is not prepared on site, and fish and chips can be ordered from the place next door.

Customer Review Summary
Cocktails draw the most praise at this bar, with one reviewer calling a strawberry daiquiri lovely and another finding the cocktails delicious, though one mojito was described as watery. Reviewers also single out the music, the pool table, the nice seats and a trendy design, and one mentions cheap prices. A few call it a great late night venue and say the middle of the day suits it less, and one finds it a bit too loud for meaningful conversation. Staff are the sharpest divide. Some describe them as friendly and helpful, while others report unpleasant, annoyed or unwelcoming staff, one who did not mention the cocktail deal, and one group refused tap water despite ordering loads of drinks. One reviewer calls the food substandard. Two reviewers say they were asked to leave, one after questioning an overcharge and another over a coffee, with only four people there on a rainy day.
