Twisted Lemon

You'll find Twisted Lemon tucked away on Middle Street, right in the thick of the Lanes where the independent shops and proper restaurants live. It's the kind of place where you can actually have a conversation—the noise level doesn't assault you the moment you walk in—and the cocktails arrive looking like someone's put actual thought into them. The team here treats mixology seriously without the pretension, which feels increasingly rare in Brighton. Whether you're after a classic Negroni or something more inventive, you're in capable hands.
