Description
Mesmerist is a stylish and eclectic lounge bar tucked into the heart of Brighton’s famous Lanes. Spanning three distinctive floors—including a lush and heated rooftop terrace—it delivers a mix of vintage glamour and retro chic without a trace of pretentiousness. Each level offers its own vibe: from ornately decorated lounges to a hidden 70s-inspired cocktail room called The Flipside, and a rooftop space perfect for relaxing in sunshine or staying warm under heaters during cooler months.
The food and drink offerings strike a perfect balance between fun and elevated. The cocktail menu features creative takes on 70s classics, alongside a notable absinthe selection that reflects the venue’s bohemian charm. The kitchen serves a mix of Southern BBQ and Tex-Mex-inspired dishes, bottomless brunches, and hearty Sunday roasts—making it a popular weekend destination for locals and visitors alike.
Entertainment is at the heart of the Mesmerist experience. The venue hosts regular live music from local bands, themed party nights, DJ sets, burlesque shows, and more. It's also dog-friendly and draws a diverse crowd, with people often dancing to swing or soul well into the evening. Whether you're there for a cocktail, a bite to eat, or a vibrant night out, Mesmerist offers one of the most memorable bar experiences in Brighton.
