Steinbeck & Shaw Brighton

Steinbeck & Shaw is a vibrant, quirky cocktail bar located on Brighton’s infamous Kings Road. Themed somewhere between cosy and artsy, it’s the perfect location for a late-night catch up with friends or an alfresco cocktail on the patio during the summer months.

A place to drink, dance and let loose whilst soaking up the fairground nostalgia & sea views. This venue has a mixture of standing and seated areas, plus a space for a dancefloor that comes alive at night. It encompasses friendly service with laid-back vibes, a retro sweet inspired cocktail menu and we can’t ignore the elephant horse in the room… Yes, that’s a full-sized red carousel horse upon a paint-splattered grand piano.

Enjoy drinks deals and 2-4-1 cocktails until 10pm everyday, as well as bottomless brunches for only £25 per person.

This is a highly sought-after venue for a wide range of private events, cocktail masterclasses, standing receptions, and large-scale parties. Whether you're hosting corporate events, product launches, or festive Christmas celebrations, this versatile space is perfect for creating memorable experiences.
