Brighton

🍸 Best Bars

Brighton's bar scene has always punched above its weight — blame the art students, the day-trippers who never left, and a seafront that makes you want one more drink. From craft ale taprooms tucked behind the North Laines to late-night cocktail bars spilling onto Kemptown streets, the city rewards those willing to wander off the main drag.
