Brighton i360

Celebrate your birthday in style at Brighton i360, where spectacular sea views, a Sky Bar, and an unforgettable 450ft vertical journey await. Whether you're hosting an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, the Attenborough and Birch event spaces provide the perfect backdrop for any occasion.

Each space comes with its own private beachfront terrace and flexible layouts, so you can tailor your event to your vision. From delicious BBQs to fine dining options, the diverse catering menus ensure that your guests will be treated to exquisite food and drink. With breathtaking panoramic views, this is the perfect venue to add a unique twist to your birthday celebration.

No 32

A stylish restaurant, bar and club all rolled into one - No. 32 is a jack of all trades, master of all! Treat yourself to a hearty beef burger (all of which are aged in-house) before washing it down with a selection of classic and experimental cocktails. Following that, end your night the right way - by doing that awkward dance you do every birthday after having a few too many. (Don't worry, you're allowed to look silly on your big day.) 

The Mesmerist

Occurring only once in a blue moon (or once every 365.242199 days to be scientifically accurate), your birthday is a unique time of the year for you. So why not match that by celebrating it in one of Brighton's most unique venues! The Mesmerist is quirky venue inspired by 1930s gin palaces and the steampunk movement. It's decorated with an amalgamation of vintage bits and pieces - bottled trinkets and antiquarian flair can be found in every nook and cranny. Undoubtedly, a birthday spent at The Mesmerist will be hard to forget. 

The Coal Shed Brighton

Push the boat out for your birthday with a trip to The Coal Shed, a town centre restaurant that's filled with dark, sultry interiors and a striking, standalone cocktail bar. Whether you're booking a table in the main restaurant or hiring a private room for something a little more exclusive, you'll be dining in style.

Their menu focuses on seasonal, local ingredients are fire cooking, ranging from wagyu striploin steaks to butterflied sea bream pil pil and sweetcorn ribs. And if you visit Thursday to Sunday, there'll be live DJs playing in the evening.

The Actors

For an LGBTQ+ birthday venue in Brighton, look no further than a trip to The Actors. Here, they're fronting slices courtesy of Decked Out Pizza Co, a lineup of theatre performances and a choice of quiz or DJ nights to get stuck into with all your mates.

Dead Wax Social

If locally-sourced craft beers, gourmet pizzas and exclusive vinyl playlists are on your birthday wishlist, head down to Dead Wax Social! The vinyl theme runs deep here - the bar is a tribute to Brighton's famed record shop industry and the walls are draped with vintage records. A comfortable-yet-cool hangout, it's a great venue for a chilled birthday in Brighton.  

The Salt Room Brighton

Celebrate in style at The Salt Room, one of Brighton's most iconic birthday venues. With sweeping views of the seafront, a vibrant yet polished dining space, and a menu packed with expertly grilled local seafood and meats, this is a go-to spot for milestone birthdays and intimate gatherings alike.

Whether you're hosting a group dinner on the terrace or planning a more exclusive affair indoors, the team can tailor your experience, from bespoke menus to sea-spiced seasonal cocktails. Great food, great views, and an effortlessly cool vibe - what more could a birthday celebration need?
