Bars With a View in Brighton

Grab a spot at a picnic table in this spacious beer garden and soak up those scenic sea views in the fresh sea breeze. Your very only holiday retreat, this is the perfect venue for lazy summer days in the sun. And don't fret if the weather turns, the views inside are pretty breath-taking too, with coastal coves set into the walls in a cool cavern interior.

Within walking distance of the iconic sea front, this cute and charming craft beer pub near the station is the ultimate Brighton spot for soaking up the sun with a range of craft beers and ales.

Whilst rumours of Patterns ring true with the sound late night clubbing antics and some of the biggest underground DJ's in the business, Patterns harbours a sea facing patio that is just the thing for those of you with a hankering for sea views and cracking club hits the like. Party hearty and with a view of the ocean, Patterns boasts both the views and the sweet club beats. 

Offering up some of the best views in Brighton, Palm Court Restaurant is also whipping up a host of British classics and seafood bites. The mega 300-seater venue is located on the iconic pier and also has various private hire options if you're looking for a knockout spot to celebrate with your nearest and dearest.

It may be inspired by New York eateries, but it doesn't boast the same view; it boasts an even better one. One of Brighton's infamous beachfront restaurant bars, The New Club boasts a sweet spot overlooking one of the city's most favoured sights, the old pier. Nab yourself a cocktail and a hot to trot beef patty and take in the sea view that The New Club has on offer. 

It's all in a name folks. Whilst relatively tucked away in the beachfront arches, Lucky Beach does in fact boast a sweet view of the sea for you lucky, New York style eaterie loving kin. Nab either a table outside or on their second floor, and if you're not too busy nestling your chops into one of their premium patties, you'll be happily swooning over the sea that we in Brighton like to call our own. 

Shimmy your way up a set of stairs at Bohemia and you're set to be greeted by one of the only rooftop bars in Brighton. Boasting a chipper rooftop view of the city and a sweet spot for a little Vitamin D, Bohemia is one of the highest places you're going to get for a tipple in the city. And even if you're not sunning yourself up top, their patio tables make for a pretty charming view of the infamous Lanes. 

It's all well and good, those raucous party bars on the beach that Brighton boasts so well, but what about somewhere that will dazzle you something silly, and still retain an air of charm? Found in the Hilton Hotel, the Waterhouse Bar not only boasts premium seafront views from the sun laden terrace, but they also boast some of the most bespoke cocktails in Brighton. 

Summer months spent with a beer in hand overlooking the beach, we don't think that description is far off an evening spent at Ohso Social. A minimalistic yet fun-filled party bar not only overlooks the beach but is within a stone's throw of the actual shoreline. From raucous summer parties to heaving shindigs, it's when the sun shines that Ohso Social comes alive.
