Cocktails, Style and Service at the Niche Bar
I'm not from Brighton so had to do a little research to find places to go with the group I was with (mixed 22-30). I wouldn't say that I'm an cocktail aficionado but I'm working on it and the niche definitely helped. Their adventurous menu is backed up by their perfect classics- I drank too many traditional daiquiris and they were the best I've had. Although discreetly located under a boutique hotel, the bar is worth the effort of looking. Fab palm wallpaper and a black glass bar top to die for complete a scarface style glamour. Also, for smokers, there is an enchanting (and conveniently wind-free)courtyard garden. Staff were knowledgeable and friendly and guided us through some of the more obscure cocktails, offering tasting and info on spirits we'd never tried.
Thoroughly recommend it.
