Freemasons

Description

A Grade II listed building that is one of the only bars in Brighton to retain its original name, Hove based bar and restaurant - Freemasons are known for their good vibes and fantastic food & drink offerings.

A building that has seen over 100 years of wear and is the Masonic capital of Sussex, Freemasons Tavern is steeped in history. But while the exteriors are gilded in eye catching golds, flecked tiling and intricate details, the interior of Freemasons remains wholly modern. Spread over two floors including their second floor, 100 heavy, Lodge bar, Freemasons boast plush seating areas, exposed brickwork, charming low hanging lampshades and a plethora of in-your-face modern art installations.

The Freemasons Tavern is just the ticket for those after a huge range of craft beer, seasonal cocktails and wines. Accompanied by a fantastic South African kitchen serving traditional Durban Curries & Bunny Chows.

Kick back and enjoy a catch up with friends & family, catch a bit of sport on the big screens, or enjoy a energetic night of live music.
