Clementine & Co

Clementine & Co is a cocktail bar on Duke Street in central Brighton, close to the Lanes. The venue has a relaxed, welcoming character, with a drinks programme that combines seasonal ideas and creative flavour combinations with familiar classic cocktails. Its style is polished without being formal, making the bar suitable for an evening built around drinks rather than a traditional meal.

The menu is centred on cocktails made with care and attention to balance, presentation and flavour. Seasonal ingredients and less expected combinations sit alongside recognisable favourites, giving the drinks list a broad appeal. The approach is considered and contemporary, while the atmosphere remains accessible rather than overly serious. Clementine & Co suits date nights, after-work meet-ups and weekend catch-ups where the focus is on conversation and well-made drinks.

Alcohol-free cocktails form a dedicated part of the offering. These drinks are developed with the same attention to flavour and presentation as the full-strength menu, giving non-drinkers and anyone choosing a lighter option an experience that feels like part of the main bar menu rather than an afterthought. The drinks-led format also makes the venue a useful choice for groups with different preferences.

Walk-ins are welcome, although reservations are recommended. Larger parties can be accommodated in an upstairs area shared with other guests, with the layout suited to birthdays, work socials, casual celebrations and catch-ups. The space is not intended for hen or stag parties. For a smaller visit, the central location and relaxed setting make Clementine & Co a straightforward stop for a planned booking or an unplanned cocktail.

The venue’s appeal lies in the balance between creative drinks and an easygoing setting. Classic cocktails provide familiar options, while the seasonal selection offers something more distinctive. With both alcoholic and alcohol-free choices available, Clementine & Co works for mixed groups, special occasions and informal drinks in a central city bar.
