Here at the Mesmerist, we pride ourselves on being a true Brighton destination – a big, beautiful venue brimming with character - encompassing individually styled rooms, a roof garden and a 70s inspired cocktail bar. Begin with brunch, taste the flavours of the Deep South, sip expertly mixed cocktails - and find yourself dancing to Brighton’s best DJs into the wee hours… All under one eclectic roof!

A Brighton institution loved by both clued up locals and visitors looking for a top notch night out - the Mesmerist offers an event calendar packed full of Brighton's best bands and DJs. 

Bringing you the authentic flavours of Texan BBQ food from the renowned Red Dog Saloon, legendary Sunday roasts and bottomless brunches every Saturday, alongside all your favourite drinks from craft beers to expertly mixed cocktails - and everything in between.

Relax and enjoy in individually styled rooms or the lush roof garden, or spend the evening sipping cocktails in our 70s inspired cocktail lounge, The Flipside.
