Southern Comfort has got an exciting, new shot guaranteed to get you a little hot under the collar and we’re offering you a free one at Drink In Brighton venues!
Thanks to all of you who entered our competition last week- we were truly stunned by the number of entrants! We are delighted to announce that the winner of a pair of VIP passes to this year's Big Chill Festival is.... Leon Cole!
The much loved Italian beer, Birra Moretti has arrived at The Mesmerist just in time for summer, bringing with it the chance to sample some amazing Italian tapas delights with every beer you buy... for free!
So here the story ends. I, Hugo, have survived the Monday to Friday challenge at The Mesmerist. I’m intact, and you know what? I feel like I’ve been in a really pleasant time capsule – the type that I didn’t realise I’d enjoy quite so much. Friday night (and indeed Saturday night, as they follow a very similar route – especially in regards to the fun YOU will have) is quite something.
My week at the Mesmerist has passed the midway point by this stage and so far I haven’t got bored – Well being in a pub... everyday... as if I’d get bored. Added to this is the fact that the last two nights are Thursday, which has been a weekend night for probably the best part of ten years now and then its Friday, shit me, that’s a bonafide weekend night everyday of the week, so to speak.
OK, no messing about, this is a good one. Every week, each Wednesday, it’s Swing Ninjas time and this is no laid back affair. The Swing Ninjas are a small but loud band who play... you guessed it... Swing! Big horn thing, guitar thing and for tonight’s efforts the most insanely amazing fiddle playing I’ve ever heard (courtesy of big Mike Simmonds who is well known round these parts... “He’s played with Bonobo, Alice Russell and everybody don’t you know?”).
I’d been told it was magic night at The Mesmerist. I like magic. I like pubs. Sounds good. First of all I must tell you that if you are not into magic, don’t be put off – this isn’t a show or a large event – it’s a general go-to-the-bar, have-a-drink type of evening. It’s still The Mesmerist, with its quirky early-to-mid-20th century stylings, antlers on the wall, gargoyles on the bar, striped wallpaper, statues, ornaments and all round interesting obscurities, but it also just so happens to be a Tuesday and Tuesday is when a circle of local magicians get together.
There’s a new pub in the centre of town in case you hadn’t noticed. The Mesmerist. In the building once the home of Old Orleans, now sits possibly the most intentionally ‘different’ venue in town. It’s kind-of themed without being a weird theme pub. Its heart and soul (and certainly most of its audible make-up) lies well and truly in the first half of the 20th century – Swing era!

In these troubled financial times, one of the few success stories we've seen in the drinks trade has been real ale. No longer the sole preserve of tankard weilding, beard wearing 'enthusiasts', real ale now finds iteslf at the forefront of a national trend toward supporting small businesses, buying local produce and consuming organic ingredients.
