Roof Terrace & Outdoor Dining in Brighton
Damn good, all day
A rooftop bar & terrace in Brighton's Lanes
Sit back, unwind
The Aunty Bar
Comfy seating. Shady spots. Bar snacks, beers, savouries, curries, cocktails. Kick back outside, above Brighton’s bustling lanes.
Our roof terrace – AKA the Aunty Bar – is the perfect place to sip on cocktails (voted ‘Best Cocktails’ at the BRAVO awards). Bookable when the weather permits. Just request a spot outside when making your booking – we'll do our best to make it happen.
Quick drink, light bite, or long, leisurely night – the Aunty Bar is open to all.
Revel outside
Rooftop Private Hire
Friends, families, colleagues, dogs! Assemble. The Aunty Bar is open for private hire: parties, work-dos, any-kind-of get-together. Feast on set menus full of favourites or pick and choose from the main menu. We’ll take care of everything while you sit back and enjoy the breeze of delicious revelry.
The Aunty Bar is yours.
The terrace is available for private hire for 12 – 25 guests. Bookings are available 12pm ’til late, Sunday to Thursday; or 12–6pm Friday & Saturday.
Tuck in
Lunch and dinner Party Spreads are flooded with favourites from the All-Day menu to share. Picky-snacky-crispy savouries. Hearty-for-your-party ruby murrays. Irresistible sweet things. There’s something for everyone. Choose your mix of non-veg., veg. or vegan options when you arrive. No need to think ahead. Or order all you want from the All-Day menu.
Wet lips
Let chefs do their thing while you sink into drinks. Fizz, frozen lipsters, short and boozies. A few crisp pints from a Permit Room x Kingfisher Beer Tower (on tap, at your table). Or totally delicious teetotals. Pre-order drinks to make things easy. Let the good times roll.
