Local tip
For a rooftop booth, plan for at least six people and book ahead, as outside tables are not reserved.

Bison Beach Bar @ Sea Lanes is a beachfront craft beer bar at Sea Lanes on Madeira Drive, Brighton. The setting combines a relaxed bar atmosphere with the character of the seafront, making it suited to casual drinks, social gatherings and occasions that benefit from an outdoor setting.

The bar serves Bison beers, including options available on tap, within a setting designed for informal seaside drinking. The venue also hosts regular entertainment, with DJ specials, live comedy nights and other events forming part of its programme. The atmosphere can therefore shift from a daytime beach stop to a livelier evening gathering, depending on what is taking place.

Food is available on site through separate food operators, giving the bar a practical option for groups looking to combine drinks with a meal or something to eat during a longer visit. The indoor areas include spaces identified as both bar and restaurant seating, while the rooftop provides a more open-air way to enjoy the seafront setting.

Four covered rooftop booths offer a more defined space for groups, with heating for a comfortable alfresco stay. Each booth accommodates up to 12 people, and adjoining booths can be booked together for larger groups of up to 24. The venue also has flexible event space for larger gatherings of up to 100 people, making it suitable for parties and organised celebrations as well as informal meet-ups.

Outside tables cannot be reserved, so the rooftop booths or indoor areas are the practical choices for groups that need a confirmed space. The combination of craft beer, food on site, beachfront seating and scheduled entertainment gives Bison Beach Bar a straightforward choice for social drinking by the sea.
