THE FREEMASONS

About

A Grade II listed building is one of the only bars in Brighton to retain its original name, Hove based watering hole Freemasons are known for their range of cocktails, lively music and multi-award winning food from Bluegrass BBQ. A building that has seen over 200 years of use and is the Masonic capital of Sussex, Freemasons is steeped in history. But while the exteriors are gilded in eye catching golds, flecked tiling and intricate details, the interior of Freemasons remains wholly modern. Spread over two floors including their second floor, 100 heavy, famed restaurant, Freemasons boast plush seating areas, exposed brickwork, charming low hanging lampshades and a plethora of cocktails, wines, spirits and craft beers. More of a fun time bar and restaurant, less of a laid back lounger, Freemasons is just the ticket for those after an amazing range of drinks and a taste of their lip smacking food.
