Brighton Rocks

Wonderfully decorated bar worth seeking out. Friendly staff, good selection of beers and drinks, and comfy seating. Worth a visit!

I have lived in Brighton for just over a year now and make it a personal goal to visit a new pub every week. I wish I visited Brighton Rocks sooner. Tucked away down a little street in Kemptown you could easily miss this place but it's worth a visit. Has a New Orleans theme and extremely tasty cocktails, although they are on the pricier end at around £11 a pop. Lots of interesting craft beers and lagers on tap as well. Doesn't get too busy whilst still having a good vibe and atmosphere. Theme makes it a more eclectic choice than other Kemptown offerings. Recommended

Love this bar and so did our doggies Ordered a Mojito and Espresso Martini even they are not on the cocktail list. Unfortunately they don't do liquor coffees. Very friendly and you can sit outside if you want to. On a side street. Worth a visit especially if you have your dogs with you.

Four of us had booked a table for Sunday lunch at 2pm. Two of us are veggies. It took about 45 mins for the food to arrive. The veggie meals were nice but my friend ordered pork which was quite burned so she sent it back. Her meal was replaced quickly. At 3.55pm we were reminded that we needed to leave by 4pm. They had told my friend this when he booked. I wouldn't have minded the long wait or vacating by 4pm but the two combined meant we felt rushed and had no option for more drinks or dessert even though we would have liked them. I wouldn't rush back, its good to find a two choices for veggies on a Sunday lunch but not really worth it for the price.

Was staying around the corner in Brighton for the night and had a couple of hours to kill so wandered out looking for somewhere to spend the time with a couple of friends. So glad we found this bar...friendly, unpretentious, lovely knowledgeable staff and cosy as hell. A great find.

Fantastic pub with amazing artwork :

Good beer, friendly staff, yeah decor is a bit antwacky but a nice welcoming place

Great little pub, Nice atmosphere, Friendly bar staff, Plenty of cool things to look at.

We moved to Brighton a short while ago and from the first day we wondered into Brighton Rocks we where welcomed with open arms. The atmosphere is incredible, vibrant and professional. The drinks are to die for and made by mixologists, so even the standard bourbon and mixer comes tasting incredible with great attention to detail. To make things better the whole drinks menu is reasonably priced, so you can enjoy a great night without the financial fear one can feel the morning after. The biggest attraction is the staff and landlord’s, you are welcomed with table service and you are never without a drink before your approached and asked if your ok and would like another drink. The staff always wear a smile and take the time to get to know you, let alone give advice on drinks should you require. The beers have been hand selected to ensure the highest quality. You are spoilt with the finest lagers and beers. You will not be able to find a fosters or alike at this venue but you won’t be disappointed with the alternatives. Huge selection of wines to your choice and without a doubt the finest whiskey selection I have certainly ever witnessed. I can definitely advise the Rip Van Winkle if you go. It’s incredible. The whole pub is covered in art that draws your attention, you could spend hours just appreciating the incredible and vibrant art around the establishment. Secondly the seating is comfortable with an outside area which is covered with a view of the sea. All in all, the venue is incredible and I can’t recommend it highly enough, you experience the real Brighton! Undoubtedly Kemptowns best kept secret and be sure to ask about Lez the rabbit!

Amazing place, down here on Holiday was made very welcome by staff and locals, great quirky decor!
