Byoc - Brighton

This is an outstanding spot to kick off your evening. They have skilled mixologists who excel at their craft and always provide a fun atmosphere. I recommend bringing along some premium spirits; you won’t be disappointed. Above all, Dean is the best host I’ve encountered during my visits. They also accommodate larger groups if you need that as well.

The mixologist was not only knowledgeable but also funny and entertaining. Every drink we created was delicious and made with quality ingredients, like homemade syrups and fresh fruit. I was a little nervous at first when it was our turn to make drinks, but it turned out to be a fantastic experience. It felt both glamorous and relaxed, flowing nicely along with our conversations and cocktails. Thank you for a wonderful evening! I would highly recommend this place 100%.

The concept is intriguing and really helps you connect with yourself while exploring the enchanting cocktails. I attended a birthday party here that was booked in advance, which was a lovely idea. The cellar can get quite warm, so it's important to keep that in mind when you’re searching for it. Don’t expect typical signage—it’s quite discreet and low-key.

I recently had a great evening for my birthday. There was a group of 7 of us and so we sat in the Alkoven private room with a separate projector with old black and white silent movies. So for anyone who doesn't know the concept you take your own alcohol and the mixologist makes some of the best cocktails you ever had... depending on what you take naturally! We took high quality alcohol with us and a diverse mix (Dark Rum, Champagne, Gin, Japanese Whisky and Scotch) and I recommend 1 bottle per 2 people if you are in a group. If there are only two of you then try 3 different types of alcohol... You can always go for the smaller bottles/minutes, but you get to take any unused alcohol, so nothing is wasted. The mixologist will ask you at the beginning what kind of cocktails you like / Flavors and they offer the blenders and homemade liqueurs/pure, so you can safely leave this bottle Chambord at home. They're supposed to get two hours, but when we were at the end of the night, it was more than 3 hours, since nobody came after us. Definitely great for special occasions and much better in a group!

A fantastic bar, and the second one after BYOC up in London. Grab a couple of bottles of your favourite spirits, book a table and head out for a great evening. The mixologists are friendly, funny and know how to make great cocktails! With lovely decor and a great atmosphere all in all this speakeasy style bar makes for a great place for a date/party/something a bit different. Personally, I also think this one is better than the one in London.
