Wine Bars

You know you are reaching a ‘certain age’ when you’d rather head somewhere for a nice glass of wine and chat rather than find yourself wedged into a busy bar, drinking out of a plastic cup. Lucky for us, Brighton enjoys a long tradition of wine loving restaurants and bars, each one with a different taste and approach. From the most obscure wineries across the Balkans to the most amazing natural wines from France as well as English wine and New World jewels… you name it, we’ve found it.
