Bison Beer North Laine, Brighton

I walked past this building many times when it was a restaurant and wine bar, but never felt the need to go in and have a look even though I could see a couple of draught taps on the small bar. It is now called the Brewery Tap which stocks craft beers at street level and cocktails in the downstairs bar. Upstairs there is extra seating and the toilets. There is also a disabled toilet at street level. The seating is made up by standard chairs and tables which all bear a wax covered bottle that holds a candle. This isn’t the biggest place, but there was plenty of room on my recent Saturday night visit as there were only two other customers. There may have been more in the cocktail bar downstairs, but I didn’t descend the stairs although I could hear the music. The service was friendly, but I found this place to be a little bland and do not plan to revisit.

A bar/restaurant and cocktail bar spread over 3 floors. American style taps on the wall behind the bar.
