What Eliza Goodpasture doesn't like about The Plotting Parlour:
This didn’t quite work it’s trying to be a chill hole in the wall and also a very polished elevated bar at once, and it’s neither. The cocktails and service were ok, music too loud, and too many mirrors and tacky shiny decor. They absolutely should not accept large group bookings we left when a big group of drunk lads arrived and I felt so bad for the staff having to deal with them. View all feedback. What User likes about The Plotting Parlour:
This fantastic small bar has a wonderful and friendly team that made us feel very welcome. The cocktails were amazing, and we particularly enjoyed the smoked mussels. The espresso martini was the best I've had in years. The interior is cool and cozy, with a speakeasy vibe in the back and a jazzy feel in the front. We will definitely be back when we are in Brighton. View all feedback.

Chris the Barman raised a glass with me to my late Mum. What an utterly decent human being. Thank you for your compassion and kindness it meant a lot.
