If you're after rooftop views, cool DJ sets, and lively weekend brunches, The Mesmerist in Brighton is bringing the heat all July long. Nestled in the Lanes, this multi-floor hotspot is serving up something for every vibe - whether you're grooving to The Fabulous Red Diesel, skanking to Rum & Bass, or sipping prosecco at their popular bottomless brunch (every Saturday from £28).

Expect everything from soul and funk to reggae, disco, and house, spread across rooftop parties, terrace takeovers, and late-night dance sessions. With standout events like King L's Roof Party, Get FNKD, Myriad., and the soulful Soulshyne Roof Party, July is stacked with free-entry nights and high-energy weekends. 

Bottomless Brunch

@ Patterns on Saturday 30th May 2026 and 15 other Saturdays

Looking for the ultimate Saturday plan this July? Look no further than Patterns' Bottomless Disco Brunch - a boozy, pizza-filled, disco-fuelled afternoon that's guaranteed to cure your summer blues. Every Saturday at the iconic Patterns on Brighton Beachfront, you're treated to two hours of bottomless drinks, featuring your pick of fizz, mimosas, or bloody marys (or all three - we won't judge).

While you're sipping and swirling, expect a soundtrack packed with the best in disco and funk, spinning non-stop to keep the dancefloor energy alive at your table. And then comes the real main event: unlimited pizza. Patterns serves up slices from their Cutting Shapes Pizza Menu with crowd-pleasers like the classic margherita (Down Tempo), the irresistible pepperoni (Reload), and the saucy vegan marinara (Minimal VG) - all circulating the room for a solid 90 minutes. It's slice after slice of pizza heaven.

Fabulous Brunch Events Brighton

Join some of the fiercest drag sensations for a number of fabulous boozy brunch events in Brighton. This experience will have you tucking into burgers or hotdogs with 90 minutes of endless bubbles, all while the UK's top queens take to the stage.

North Laine Brewhouse

If your ideal night out includes craft beer, party games, and serious good vibes, North Laine Brewhouse is your July go-to. This buzzing microbrewery and gastropub in the heart of Brighton has transformed an old nightclub into a full-blown playground for grown-ups - think shuffleboard, beer pong, interactive darts, cornhole, and a jam-packed calendar of live entertainment.

Every Wednesday, test your trivia chops at Quizzy with Izzy, and every Thursday, take the stage (or cheer from the bar) at the weekly open mic night. Fridays heat up with DJ Ollie Bundy spinning disco, house, and dance anthems from 7pm till late.

Sounds Familiar Music Quiz - South East

Hosting a summer edition of their popular event, the Sounds Familiar Music Quiz is coming to Horizon this July. This is much more than your standard quiz, and they've played Glastonbury more times than David Bowie.

Get stuck into rounds packed full of non-stop tunes, from power ballads to indie bangers and guilty pleasures, putting your skills to the test.

The Tempest

Head to The Tempest, Brighton's legendary beachfront playground tucked beneath the seafront arches. By day, it's the perfect spot for soaking up the sun with a cocktail on their iconic terrace - but by night, this venue transforms into a pulsating network of cave-like spaces filled with basslines, energy, and serious underground vibes. Whether you're vibing to Forró à Beira Mar, getting down with Uncut Jams, or catching the groove at Moody Disco, there's something happening every weekend in July.

With events like House of Bamboo: Odyssey, Ecliptic Sound presents Synergy, and the ever-eclectic Jac Jac, The Tempest is a hub for everything from global rhythms to deep house nights. Best of all? Many events are free or low-cost, making it a no-brainer for a spontaneous night out.
