Are you ready to join the Burger Kult?
Burger Kult are fast growing a reputation amongst the Brighton burger aficionados for some serious burger carnage.
Now bumping elbows with the folks at East Street Tap you can be set to find the perfect mash up of meaty burger feast, kraft ales, punk, rock and hip-hop. Think gritty New York counter culture, but really near the Palace Pier.

East Street Tap is the newest incarnation of a long standing Brighton boozer whose film credits (Quadrophenia and Brighton Rocks) rivals that of many of the city’s better known celebrities. Sharing initials with the source of its inspiration, the New York Eastern Standard Time zone, The East Street Tap sets to siphon off the very best bits of US culture and bring it to our Southern shores.

Continuing to fuse the US with ‘us’ is the ale selection, mixing Eastern State side brands such as Trillium, Alchemist and Brooklyn with Brighton’s very own Bison Beer.

It is no wonder then that Burger Kult has made its hedonistic home here, offering up burgers whose names alone send the tastebuds into a delirium. The Chuck Satan Burger is their “gateway burger” and biggest seller, it’s a sweet, salty, smokey pile up of chuck steak and maple bacon, melted St Giles cheese, sticky relish and Kult’s own BBQ sauce, guaranteed to make you a lifelong devotee in no time.

Like a bit of surf with your turf? Then try Swampthing, a chuck steak and crayfish homage to Cajun cuisine. If chicken is your thing then let The Witch tempt you, and there’s a haloumi burger still busting with flavour for the meat free rocker.
Fowl play and the devil’s work, The Witch is the Kult’s tempting chicken burger.

The knowledgable staff at the bar will be more than happy to help pair your choice with the right ale; after all, Burger Kult really do want you to sell up your worldly possessions and join them.
