UnBarred Brewery & Taproom in Brighton and Hove

A hidden gem just a short walk from the center. Every time we travel to Brighton from the Netherlands we try to have a drink here. Relaxed atmosphere, nice people behind the bar, and especially the beers are excellent. Bueno Shake for is fantastic.

Lovely Brewery especially the outdoor space is nice and pleasant. The beer Joosy is a tasty hazy beer I’d recommend.

In my opinion, the best craft brewery taproom in Brighton. Big enough to accommodate those in the know, a brilliant selection of beers (they offer wine too), friendly and knowledgeable staff, 3 toilets so not usually a queue and sometimes a tasty food truck outside on site

Super brewery - we did a tasting experience here which was top notch, very detailed and comprehensive but accessible for beginners. We tasted a wide variety of delicious beers. Nice atmosphere, great staff, and all very clean and tidy. You can order the awesome Fatto a Mano Neapolitan pizzas to the table here too.

Great choice of various beers,good atmosphere friendly Bar staff.

Amazing taproom away from the hustle and bustle with outdoor decking and a great selection of draught beers (including two gluten free beers) brewed on site. Would definitely recommend visiting!

We had a beer tasting experience with Felipe. He was very passionate and his knowledge of beer was incredible. One of the best tastings we have had. Top drawer

Love this place. The beer is my favourite. The new Oyster stout is actually sublime. I was sceptical about it but when I had some bought for me Father’s Day, my eyes were opened. It’s one of the nicest, smoothest stouts I’ve had, and I’ve had a lot of stouts!! Even better is the fact you can get a pizza while you’re there. Best place to drink in my opinion.

Authenric brewery atmosphere. Fantastic bar game called "Toads". Ordered lasagne. It's lasagne on pizza. Forewarning you 🤪

Spacious taproom with plenty of styles of beer on. Friendly service. Worth a visit.

Went for a tasting experience, we were warmly greeted and our host Cam was friendly, interesting and very knowledgeable! Excellent selection of beers…will definitely go back for more or look out for them in London!

Break for beer...and we need it at Unbarred

Gotta be the best brewery in Brighton. Went for a tasting session, the insight and knowledge provided by the host was second to none. Came away from it having a complete new perspective on beer and would recommend this to anyone, whether you enjoy beer or not.

5★for Great beers 🍻🍻 Unique and nice flavour. We tried pineapple and long black. It will be perfect if they improve the air circulation for the indoor seating area :)

I go to this small taproom every time I go to Brighton which is only a couple of times a year. I visited last night and I must say the beers were excellent and the range has improved so there is something for all types of beer drinkers. As well as the usual impressive hoppy ales I was also blown away by their ESB and Stoutzilla. I can't remember ever going to a brewery where they have absolutely nailed each style. Will have to back soon and try the Helles to complete the set!

Popped in on a slow Fri pm before 5. Liked the beer choices and pizza was good too Staff nice and friendly too

Great beer and a friendly atmosphere! What's not to like?

Great beer and nice times had all round!

A great spot for craft beer lovers. Great selection of beer to have in or to takeaway

Popped in for a cheeky beer and some merch and wasn’t disappointed. Great selection of beers to have in or to takeaway. Great find for craft beer

Fantástico bar para tomar unas cervezas y una pizzas

Amazing beers and a really great food stand outside with real German sausage and sourkrout

Popped in while visiting Brighton for work. The staff were friendly and gave great advice of the drinks available. Drinks and venue were spot on. Will come again.

We have been on a beer tasting session here,a very knowledgeable host who made it a very relaxed and interesting time.

I’ve not been to the brewery but have bought the honey Combe milkshake from an outlet in Shoreham. Absolutely delicious shall be buying more

Excellent beers brewed on site, with knowledgeable and friendly staff. At its best in summer when the bifolding doors can open and the outdoor space is useable, can get a bit cold in the winter so be prepared to wear layers in doors if you are visiting then. The recent partnership with Fatto a Mano to provide pizza with no delivery charge means there is even less reason to leave!

Great place with an excellent diverse selection of craft beers and friendly staff. It's a shame they have recently tied up with fatto a mano, prior to that you could get anything deliveroo'd to the tap room which was a lot better...

Popped in to pick up some ltd edition stouts. Ended up having 'one or two ' in the company of Ruby & Cam, fabulous bar staff and brilliant beer. If you fancy a casually led astray sesh, this is THE place. Joyous.

A bit out of the way and so you are well ready for something tasty by the time you get there. Seating in and out, place is currently surrounded by major development so felt a bit odd sitting out with that view but that will change once completed. Great choice of craft ales, friendly bar staff. Decent selection in fridge, we bought a few cans to bring back home to enjoy.

Great local craft brewer. Can order food from Fatto a Mano across the road

A laid back, comfortable outdoor space. The staff are knowledgeable and even the customers are friendly...oh, and great beer, obviously.

One of my favourite pubs in Brighton! Friendly service, nice atmosphere and tasty beer. They also serve wine and spirits for non-beer-drinkers.

Always lots of great beers on tap. Friendly staff and good atmosphere

What a great venue. Best beer in Brighton and the staff are awesome. I would certainly recommend this place. Just visited again, still awesome.

Nice place, great draft beers and cans Vegan pizza available

Good beer, good people, what else do you want?

Ended our evening in Brighton with a trip to UnBarred Brewery and Taproom for a few beers. Loads of places to sit indoors and outdoors. We also enjoyed a nduja pizza from the menu which I unfortunately didn’t get a picture of as it all got eaten too quickly. Would definitely recommend coming here if you’re a craft beer fan!

Place had a dank smell; perfect for a brewer pub. Great tasting beers as well. It was small inside, but I bet if the weather gets better, outside is even more fun.

The brewery was quite small and packed however the staff was very friendly. There were many types of beers flavours and it was nice that we could order smaller sizes try.

Very nice brewery and tap room around 15 walking minutes away from city centre. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff, a super beer selection of their own making and a nice outside area to enjoy your brews in fresh air - highly recommended!

I absolutely love this place, the beers are amazing, the staff are friendly and there is always a fun vibe. HOWEVER, they have a serious mould problem. The moment you go in you can smell the mould and see it quite literally everywhere around the Brewing Tanks, the floor, the walls and the ceiling. The smell is quite off putting and it makes you seriously question the hygiene. If the owner invests in fixing this very serious issue then this place would be absolutely awesome 🙏

Great location great brewery, friendly staff, great tasting beer

If you love craft beer and plenty of it then go here. Immediately.

Great beers, fun and friendly atmosphere, and the pizzas they use are phenomenal.

Great place, great products! Well worth a visit!

Pros: Great atmosphere. Great beer. Cons: No bitter. The damp and mustiness in there aggravated my chest a bit.

A pleasant Brewery tucked away at the back of London Road. Great place to go if you want to grab a drink with mates and actually want to be able to hear yourself think (they don't blast loud music). There are always new beers on tap; I've enjoyed every one I've tried so far. Definitely one of my favourite spots in Brighton for a beer.

Excellent end to 2022. I'd been before but visiting again proved the beer excellent. Loved it! Thanks!

Great little taproom and well priced (eg £5.25 for 2/3 of a 9.2% imperial stout - Brewdog and the like charged £6-7.50 yesterday for 1/3 of similar). Plenty of dark beers on offer so big thumbs up from me. Only downside for me is a very poor Vodafone signal (was same last year when I visited) - there is WiFi but it's one of those you have to sign up to and give your mobile number, so a no from me. Taking ages to upload my Untappd reviews!

Only card here there was no option pay by card is pure discrimination customer with cash and if that is elegal to

Currently my favourite pub in Brighton. Beers are generally excellent and interesting. The space is nice and the outdoor area is great, and clientele are usually sound.

In 2021, UnBarred defined craft beer, what a choice of NEIPAs and DIPAs, staff today admitted - cannot compete with Beak on this front...what? Somebody has lost the plot. Today, OK beer, nothing special, hardly justifies the trip from Scotland.

They do an awesome ale. Bit pricey tho at £7 but I understand as it was 7% abv.

Great find in Brighton not too far from London Road Station and quite near the Joker pub. Called on a Friday night for a couple of beers, which were fantastic. Sold Unbarred beers and a few from other brewers. Fridges full of cans to takeaway and deliveries are also an option. Food was available though we chose not to indulge. Staff were spot on, friendly and helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed our time there - dont miss it if you like beer.

Horrible service the staff are a bunch of entitled selfish children the bar is sticky and unclean the toilets are disgraceful I wouldn't go back there if you payed me the hobgoblin is just down the road with wonderful inviting friendly staff clean surfaces and great music and a welcoming vibe

Excellent range of craft beers, served by friendly and knowledgeable staff. Beers available in third of a pint, half pint, two thirds of a pint or full pint measures. Loos clean and modern! A favourite place to go

Thanks to all the staff at unbarred for a great day 24/07/22. Making sure everything went well celebrating our daughters wedding nothing was too much trouble. Great staff Great venue Great beer

Great beer! Great staff! Got to check out the mango mash gang while it's still there! Instagram: @craftybeerlad

What a cool place! Awesome range of beers and excellent bar staff. Really cool vibe and a spacious outdoor seating area which is great in the summer. One of the best bars I have visited…well worth a visit when in Brighton.

Lovely place and great beers! 🍻

Great beers! I really enjoined it

Nice Brighton brewery with beer garden

Always a joy to visit, stunning beer, great staff. Will visit tomorrow

Excellent place to visit. Lovely beers, great atmosphere, chilled, inside or outside options, lovely staff, spotless toilets

Great beer and a lovely tap room! Would have loved a tasting paddle but you can’t have everything.

A wonderful brewery, creating some stunning beers in most styles. My personal favourites are their imperial stouts and modern sour beers. Indoor and outdoor seating, some of which is covered. Beers are served in third, half, and pint measures. The thirds if ordered x3 come on a beer paddle, which is the normal. Helpful staff, who are keen to describe their beers. Several loos, which are clean.

Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Pleasant, helpful staff. Good choice of unusual beers brewed on premises. Nice Greek food available for delivery. Beer seemed expensive, but I live in Cardiff........

One of my favourite local breweries! Delicious sessionable pale ales and the best NEIPA’s in Sussex and surroundings. Staff is very friendly and flexible.

I just purchased a takeaway can but I liked the place and its interiors. A bit off the centre and it was quiete, but the beer was just excellent. For sure I am looking forward to try more beers of their line!

Wonderful beer, broad variety of styles (this isn't a brewery that only does 101 IPAs), friendly & knowledgeable staff, and a great atmosphere.

Friendly and informative staff, I was unsure what to order and the staff were very helpful in telling me flavour profiles etc. extremely clean tasting beers! Great atmosphere and facilities! 10/10

Visiting for the weekend. Always looking for local craft beer. Not disappointed. Not that easy to find a little way out from the city centre but worth the walk Excellent beer

Probably my favourite pub/bar in Brighton. Fantastic beer, great staff, super chill vibe. A real home for craft beer lovers.

Amazing Selection of Beers to try and the atmosphere is mega chilled 🤙🏼

£20.97 for two double gin and tonics. When they told me the price, I just walked out. I'll go buy myself and my mate a bottle of gin instead. Total madness their prices.

Beer is amazing! The coffee stout “Breakfast Pastry” is well excused and the “Honeycomb Shake” is purely delicious. Staff is friendly and informative. The only problem is it’s so busy that is hard to get a table. But they also do takeaway as well. We got 3 cans of interesting stout to take back home.

Great place, very chilled, excellent beer and music.

It was okay. The service was good, but they had very limited choice of cider (one, which was sweet), one lager and a few more craft ales. It was quite expensive too. I am sure when the building work around it stops it will come alive but not really my favourite place.

Nice little tap room (and busy for that reason!) but the staff were super efficient and friendly and it was nice to be able to buy all the beers in a variety of sizes

Apologise for my 1 star review, that happened by mistake. My time at the brewery was in fact great, staff were attentive, friendly and knowledgeable about the selection given. This is a really nice, cool little spot and a hidden gem in Brighton!

Some genuinely exceptional beer, but the service is what really sets this place apart. Bring cash, because you'll WANT to tip.

Good selection of beers/IPA etc and great friendly staff to help and serve.

This place has the nicest and most knowledgeable staff of any pub type place I've been in as long as I can remember. Well definitely be back.

Lovely place..really interesting beers. And the staff are fantastic

Expensive, but tremendousky good beer!

The beers are so good!I lived ordering (3) thirds and they arrived on a board!

Great friendly service, delicious beers. The security guy on the front of house was very friendly and efficient. Made waiting for a table very easy.

Awesome brewery, awesome super attentive staff, best kept secret in Brighton (hope it’s not a secret!), 1000% worth a visit!

Fantastic beer, big selection, lovely chilled vibe!

Great vibes Ace staff Incredible beer Delicious (pop up) foooooood

Great products from lovely people

Delicious beer and the guys are truly passionate about their craft. The Bueno shake (stout) is incredible.

Friendly staff, good beer, not cheap.

Great selection and top service. Ive ordered online a few times and the one time there was a delivery issue they fixed it instantly in such a classy way. Tropic soda is superb and seem to have others pop up out of nowhere. Keep up the top work

Consistently complex beers friendly staff

Chilled, great beers, well clued up staff who can advise on your selection

Lovely staff and a fantastic selection of beers, particularly good if you like fruity IPAs, milkshake IPAs, etc. Only way it could improve is if it had a few gluten-free beers on the menu for those with coeliacs!

Yesterday they were giving each new customer one free beer on arrival as it was the pub's birthday- HOW COOL IS THAT! Thanks Taphouse, 5stars for sure and i'll be back. Nice outdoor area with heated seating and rain covers too 😊
