Tired of looking at the same ol' four walls in your local boozer? We thought as much. From sunny rooftop hideaways perfect for daytime margarita quaffing, to seafront haunts touting swoon-worthy sunsets and a plethora of mouthwatering grub, check out our guide to bars with a view in Brighton.




Bohemia

Shimmy your way up the stairs at Bohemia Brighton and you're set to be greeted by a stunning Veuve Clicquot rooftop terrace with chipper views of the town. Don't fancy sunning yourself up top? Get cosy at one of their patio tables with a bespoke concoction in hand.

From late-night DJ sets to weekday live music and laid-back dinners, this is a venue for all occasions. Feeling peckish? Check out their menu of miso-glazed aubergine, Thai-style tiger prawns, baked camembert and so much more.

Seascape

Found inside the iconic Brighton i360, Seascape is a stylish bar that looks out over the beachfront from 450 feet above the city. This is the highest bar on the South coast, which ascends to the top every half an hour - so ticket holders can come and go throughout the evening.

Their talented mixologists are whipping up all sorts of creative cocktails, including the brandy-based Smokin' Barrel and a zesty Sussex Siren, with a top choice of mocktails on offer too. 

Shelter Hall

Set across two floors, Shelter Hall offers a gorgeous large outdoor terrace and mezzanine space with views of the coastline. One of our top picks for bars in Brighton, this venue offers a range of mouthwatering bites, with seven different vendors onsite.

You can find everything from pizza to burgers, wings and Thai food here, with two bars available as well. When you're not admiring the gorgeous beach, check out their lineup of events as well.
