Marwood Bar & Coffeehouse

Why we love it

Ever wanted to know what taking tea in a junk shop would be like? Look no further. Every zany object from the Chewbacca head to the mannequin forearm for a door-knob has been carefully selected, as has the even zanier menu to match.

Their “green eggs and ham” would make Dr Seuss proud - the green referring to the homemade pesto. Experimental cakes abound, from beetroot brownies to baked Oreo cheesecake. For the inner hippy, there’s always their fresh mint tea and hearty vegan selection.

With a live music venue upstairs that appears to be furnished by somebody’s granny (but in a cool way) this is the place to be seen in Brighton. That is, if you can find it tucked away in its little nook on Ship Street.
