Great cocktails and service. Some great recommendations from the bartender. Went during happy hour too, and there's different ones across the different Twisted Bars

I’m so glad we stumbled across Twisted Lemon, because not only were the drinks incredible but the staff were too. Alisha and The Tash Guy were incredibly accommodating and made us feel so welcome. It was a highlight of our visit to Brighton and we will definitely be back again.

We have been visiting the Twisted Lemon for 6 years or more and have loved it every time - apart from this last visit on Sunday. The place was not really busy at 10pm, unusual but we have always liked the atmosphere anyway. This time, we felt like we were interrupting a private party with 2 of the staff and their mates, laughter and fun for them but meant very little service and a weird, unwelcoming vibe for us . Drinks were ok but not great, a first for this place. What a shame! Hopefully better next time as staff seem to change around a lot.

One of the best cocktail bars we have been too. A colourful environment with excellent staff who advised us in a helpful and friendly way. Other (good) cocktail bars err a bit on the side of trying too hard to be matter-of-fact, whereas here, at the Twisted Lemon, you can get the same quality in a much better package :) (Time of visit: June 2024)

Myself and my sister went to the Twisted Lemon around a week ago now and I forgot to leave a review!! The Twisted Lemon is a quaint establishment with great music and awesome staff who are both attentive and fun!! Although they were almost full when myself and my sister arrived we still managed to squeeze in!! Since going here my sister has told me whilst visiting me in Brighton that this was one of her favourite venues and would love to come back given the chance!! Thank you guys for the amazing night I’ve attached some photos of the drinks we had I can’t remember the names of the drinks anymore but I’m sure if you show a staff member they could help you out!!

For the price of the drinks, I feel like they could sort out a few things. The tables are very wobbly. Not great when you've got a £11 in a tall glass. If you're sat near the till, the staff seems to have very loud conversations. I found with mix of that and the music it can be hard to have a conversation.

Walked in and tried to have a bit of friendly banter - server said we have to sit down because it’s seated service only. Tried to find a couple spots which felt more lively. We asked for advise where to go and they replied “anywhere but here”. To which the other bar maid said we’re refusing you service and will have to go somewhere else and we had to leave. I was not being obnoxious and was simply just in Brighton for a day or two trying to find new spots. The whole situation unfolded within less than 5 minutes off arrival because I couldn’t make my mind up where to sit. Bartenders if you’re reading this, I’m 29 and I’ve never experienced service like that in my life. Genuinely so bad that I’ve wrote a review. And I very much rarely write them. I’m a little bit flabbergasted. Very weird situation and I the manager should review the CCTV to review. Your staff have put me off this business and hopefully now many others through reading this.

Twisted lemon! The hidden gem 🥹✨🍋 We recently visited for a few cocktails on out date night and each of them did not disappoint! We started with the Autumn Smash - this was super fruity and delicious! It was my partners first cocktail at this establishment. He loved every single sip of it. We then also tried Tequilling me softly - the lychee was so strong in this one and it was incredible. Definitely having this again next time. We finished off on the Summer sling - and this was full of raspberry flavour! It was a rum based cocktail but also tasted similar to a raspberry mojito. The set up is beautiful and the character of the place really fits the name. The staff were lovely and attentive. Relaxing music. Can't wait to come back!!

Absolutely top tier cocktail perfection! Heard a lot of great things about Twisted Lemon - a hidden gem in the heart of Brighton that’s definitely worth a visit (okay, maybe not, keep it hidden!) Great first impression - super friendly and attentive team, bubbly welcome and great service! Happy hour deals are great value with so many options depending on your base of choice. Delicious! Note it is 6.95 now as some of the photos are out of date - but still exceptional value, especially for the area! And great times too - most days till 7 Cosy vibe with awesome selection of tunes - outdoor seating and nice decor. Really great place to beat the tourist traps and grab a refreshing mix! Didn’t get to try the food this time round, but will be back for more Happy Hour deliciousness! Go go go!

Firstly I will point out that I have been in here a few times over the years for drinks and previously very much enjoyed it. But last night I paid a visit and it was an absolute joke. The whole visit was just full of disasters. I arrived early for our booking (15 minutes), which I booked well in advance (maybe a month or longer ago) for two people. I was told that they were so busy and therefore we would have to sit on the Terrace. On a cold evening in October. As if we were going to do that. So therefore we squeezed onto a tiny table by the pool table, not really suitable for two people to eat at, but what choice did we have. The pub was busy and there seemed to be a pumpkin carving event on which was an charge extra. As we hadn't booked this 'extra' I can only imagine they gave our table away to someone who was eating and carving, and therefore paying more, and our booking ignored out of greed. I politely questioned if our table had been given away and the guy was addemant it hadn't. Even though we booked so so so long ago, yet there was no suitable table for us. Kind of pointless booking. Once my friend arrived I went down to the bar to order the food. I did the food order in two separate transactions. The first transaction went through, and she gave me a pager for when the food was ready (1x wings). I then paid for the second lot of food (1 x wings and potato tots) and was given a second pager, and the bar girl walked away. I then looked down at the 2nd pager she had given me and noticed it was falling apart and wasn't lit up at all. So I caught the bar lady's attention and asked her to confirm it was working. She looked at it said it was broken (then why did she give it to me!). And then said she would put both the orders on the first pager, and took the broken one off me. Later on when the pager went off I went to collect the food. They tried to give me a tray with a burger and 2 x loaded curly fries. I said that isn't mine and told them what I ordered. They said that for the first lot of wings ordered that there was an order ready the same that no one had collected and therfore they must be ours. And they said that the second lot of wings and tatter tots would be a 2 minute wait. There was no point in me going back upstairs to the pool room as by the time I got there it would be time to come back, being sat so far away, so I stood and waited for the rest of the food. Once I had the food I then returned to my friend and our seats upstairs. I was then followed by the same bar lady that gave me the broken pager, and messed up the order (lady in red dungarees and hair in plaits for halloween). She appeared with the tray i was originally offered with the burger and 2 x curly fries on it. She said these are yours too. We politely said no they aren't. She responded with 'you ordered in two transactions and you also ordered this'. Again I said I didn't not. I told her how much we had paid in the 2 x transactions which added up to the food that I had collected (2 x wings and tatter tots). But at this point it turned really weird. The bar lady got angry and raised her voice and basically shouted at me saying that we did order them, and who's are they if they arnt ours, whilst still shouting. It was so bizarre. Never have I been shouted at that in a hospitality environment before for someone else's error. She then stormed off and that was that. So strange. ( @ the joker I'm sure you can view it on the cctv of the pool room if you wanted to see this bizarre incident) Anyway we ate our wings, which were very tasty and made the most of the rest of our evening. But I won't be rushing back here again anytime soon, which is a shame as Ive always enjoyed it in the past.. Seems their staff need a little customer service training, as we did not appreciate the way we were treated.

A friendly lively pub with an interesting range on tap and a great looking food menu. Nice to sit outside and watch the world go by.

Came in for breakfast on a sunny Sunday morning. Welcoming staff and great service. Breakfast menu had lots of different and traditional choices. I had the 'fried chicken and karaage waffles' and it's the best breakfast I've had in a very long time. Hubby had the 'little Britain' option and he was very happy too. Definitely coming back. Thank you for the best end to our stay in Brighton.
