Independent and awesome bar. Not just whisky but definitely whisky.

Great bar for a drink and lovely staff!

We go every time we visit Brighton, especially easy as it’s just down the road from the station. Staff are always super welcoming, answer any questions and give great recommendations. Cocktails are all spot on.

It has become my favorite place in Brighton. There are just so many whisky to try, like a whisky museum!Sometimes I went there for 'afternoon whisky tea', or after-dinner digest drinks, or a proper tasting organized by a distillery.The staffs are very knowledgeable, and the vibe is so relaxing.

An absolute Brighton gem. We travelled here for a belated birth celebration with absolutely no whiskey knowledge. The bar is incredibly welcoming, with an impressive bottle selection, and the wonderful benefit being greeted of great, relaxed live music within their basement.However this review goes to the incredible Paul, who led us through a few different drams over the course of the evening. He provided us with absolutely astonishing knowledge of the whiskey world, with such insight into the different distilling processes. He served us a real variety of drams so as to ease us into whiskies, whilst keeping on budget. But most importantly, he might just perhaps be the friendliest barman I've met! An absolute credit to the business and a true professional, and worth an entrance into Cut Your Wolf Loose in itself!Only now desperate to return!

Amazing selection of whiskey! Really friendly and knowledgeable staff.
The best whisky & bourbon selection on the south coast! 300 open bottles from all around the world, served by friendly and knowledgeable staff inside a truly fantastical space. It’s a hidden gem in plain sight, CYWL is nestled in the heart of Brightons famous North Laine district and easily missed, but don’t miss it because it’s a great experience every time. For whisky lovers it’s Christmas every day with every bottle on sale in the shop, also served in drams so you can try before you buy which is great when a rare single malt can cost 1000’s! For whisky novices it’s also Christmas, as the excellent staff will guide you through the maze of choice with great knowledge of provenance, history and the intricate flavour profiles of all their whiskies & bourbons. And the cocktails are off the scale, with whisky being the main event. Craft beers are also curated to accompany the dram selection which I found very helpful to have a crisp IPA as a low ABV interlude in my whisky journey! Cut Your Wolf Loose is a tiny, intimate space, jam packed with insane creativity and the best whiskies on the planet. Go and let them whisk you away from the drab & ordinary into a world of colour and joy. It’s like Willy Wonka on acid!

Unbelievably cool whisky bar! Great atmosphere, quirky decor, staff who are so friendly and knowledgeable they rapidly feel like friends. Great whisky cocktails for those who don't love the neat amber stuff, and a dazzling range of the amber stuff, from traditional to VERY modern. This is the opposite of a mahogany and leather whisky bar: when we're next in Brighton we will be back with bells on!
