Location
Pros:
"A hidden gem in Brighton, which is very easy to walk past as it's accessible via a alleyway."
"Tucked away down a little alley but a decent find."
"A nice secluded place in a narrow blind alley, with a great vibe and a solid cocktail list (also great happy hour choices)."
"Hidden away from the crowds and close to the sea."
"It is just great vibes and feels secluded from the hussle and bustle of The Lanes."

"One of the most fun and best hidden gems of bars in Brighton."

"It's the kind of place you could miss if you don't already know where it is."

"Very unpleasant experience. The last time I went there, I took a date and we weren't told there was a private party on by bouncers when entering."
"The bar is extremely cramped and I don’t think a wheelchair would fit through the entrance so disabled access is extremely limited."
