Me and my friends hosted our leaving drinks in the function room upstairs and had an incredible night! The room itself was amazing, with great decor, plenty of room for the 100ish people that attended PLUS the added bonus of a dedicated smoking area which I thought was a great touch. Also, Ollie bossed the bar all night! Even when the bar was full of people waiting to order he handled it with professionalism and charisma. Great night elevated by great hosts and staff ?.

What a great place ! We celebrated my daughters 21st in one of the upstairs private rooms, the venue was brilliant, food was great, and the sound systems was excellent. Special mention must go to Sophie and her team who were so helpful before and during the party. Thank you !

Went to the Mesmerist on Saturday for their Halloween night with my pals. Had the best night we’ve had in a long time. The pub is nice and spacious, good range of drinks and friendly staff. Highlight of the whole thing, one of the guys that works there (Marcus) is a magician and hypnotist and he absolutely made the night something special… He’s better than David Blaine! Brilliant entertainment and very suitable for a place called ‘The Mesmerist’. Will definitely come again.

Went for a couple of drinks and spontaneous dinner mid-week with my girlfriend. Staff were all really friendly and accommodating (thanks to our waiter Rhys who was really nice and was v good with our pet chihuahua). Good range of drinks available, and food was v tasty and reasonably priced. The pub was exactly what we were looking for and I'd definitely go back again.

I booked The Mesmerist for my birthday party and had an amazing time! There was a large group so we had The Flipside room to ourselves, which is a great private space with its own toilets and smoking area. The service was excellent, the staff were always happy to help with any requests. We chose to do bottomless brunch and never ran out of drinks. There's also a really wide choice of drinks, rather than just prosecco like a lot of other places. The only reason I am giving 4/5 rather than 5/5 is that some of the attendees told me they didn't like the food and that the vegetarian/vegan options could be more substantial (although I personally loved the chicken tender waffles)

Had a lovely afternoon chilling in the mesmerist. Great pork bao buns, music and the staff were lovely and accommodating especially Rhys who made us feel incredibly well looked after xxx

I had my 30th at the Birdcage this past September and Ella was helping behind the bar and she was great! Very helpful and worked really hard to keep everyone topped up. We had Buffet food that came out at 9 which was lovely and everyone was chuffed. Management was great (Im so sorry I've forgotten your name!) and kept checking in to make sure everyone was happy. Thanks everyone for an amazing evening!

We had the must beautiful time at my niece wedding reception on 9th September. The service, the food, the atmosphere, and the overall experience was amazing. A special thank you to marn'e who looked after us all day and to all the managers and staff thank you for making the day so special

Please save yourself the overpriced drink and do not go here. The absolute disappointment of this place is without a doubt the worst part. Was charged 11£ for a drink that was less than two ounces. The roof terrace has no views and no music. It is quite literally the worst bar I have been to. If you’re going to serve your drink in a kiddie cup, charge kiddie prices.
Sadly food quality decreased since last time I have been here. prices instead, went up. Be careful when ordering from the “small plates” section of the menu, we took the chicken skewers, 3 tiny pieces together were shorter than my finger, so burned that all I could taste was charcoal! We had to send it back. They kindly offered an alternative. 2 Chicken skewers must have been no more than 50gr, £7 is ridiculously high to me! Same for the prawns, imagine the smallest prawns you can buy, 3 pieces each of the 2 skewers for £7! The staff is friendly and did what they could to offer a good service.

Bron, and all staff were lovely and very helpful in advance of our visit - making sure everything was perfect for our brunch. We had the best time and highly recommend going to The Mesmerist for a Bottomless Bruch!

Their bottomless brunch was bad value for money with mediocre service. The whole bottomless brunch lasted for two hours but we only received our first drink 32 minutes after ordering it. 4 cocktails in 2 hours with a really small waffle with some chicken bits are not worth £37.5. We had to preorder the food but it only arrived 1.5 hours into the service too… I wouldn’t recommend it unless you were desperate to sit down somewhere. We were also charged £5 for entertainment who knows what it was because a Spotify subscription is cheaper than that ?

Good atmosphere but slow service for a timed bottomless brunch - first drink arrived 30 minutes into the two hour timeslot, food was great but this doesn't seem like a place that should offer bottomless brunch if it can only manage 4 drinks in 2 hours.

Popped in for Sunday lunch, between us we had the lamb shank with veg & the beef brisket, both meals were lovely but the brisket was amazing! Also veg was cooked beautifully, will b back next time I’m in Brighton!
