Why we love it

Fancy a super friendly quality bar in the heart of Kemptown? Great. Head on over to Brighton Rocks and ask for Fraser. A recent change in ownership has seen a cool interior makeover, complete with 4 foot high sugar skull. There’s a raised decked area out front for those warmer nights and plenty of seating inside. Boasting a huge range of gins, bourbons and vodkas, you’re bound to find something here to interest you. Speaking to co-owner, Janine, about her personal recommendation, she suggested a classic Old Fashioned but with the Brighton Rocks twist, grapefruit. And, if you’re looking for great food, not just your usual pub grub, then this place will blow you away. At the moment, the food is a bit of a locals only secret but with dishes like, soft boiled Old Blue Legbar eggs with crispy spiralled yukon and duck fat soldiers, it’s not going to stay that way for long.
