The Mesmerist

The Mesmerist is a vibrant, multi-floor late-night venue tucked in the heart of Brighton's famous Lanes, offering a lush rooftop bar that is heated and covered in winter and bathed in sunshine throughout summer. Inspired by 1930s gin palaces, burlesque, and the steampunk movement, its decor fuses Victorian aesthetics with retro chic plush leather seating, ornate chandeliers, and vintage artwork across four distinct bars. The rooftop garden is a destination in its own right, hosting DJ nights, private events, and major sports screenings with cutting-edge electronic sounds setting the tone. Downstairs, bold flavour-packed food from Oklahoma Smash — including handmade smash burgers, wings, and loaded fries — fuels guests enjoying expertly mixed cocktails and a weekly Bottomless Brunch. Located at 1-3 Prince Albert Street, The Mesmerist is one of Brighton's most characterful rooftop experiences.
