Emilia Romagna aperitivo, newly landed in North Laine

Bar 50ml opened on St George's Place in early January 2025, timed to coincide with the first day of that year's Brighton Cocktail Festival. The concept draws from Emilia Romagna's aperitivo tradition, built around Italian wine, with Lambrusco getting more attention here than on most Brighton wine lists.

Focaccia and other Italian small plates fill out the food menu, made for sharing over drinks rather than a sit down dinner. It's one of the newer bars on a stretch of St George's Place and the surrounding North Laine streets that already has a deep bar and café scene.

Good to know

Closed Monday and Tuesday, and doesn't open before 3pm the rest of the week.

Bar50ml hosted my 30th birthday, Stef was incredible from start to finish, very accommodating and helpful in the lead up, prep and on the night. The space is so beautiful and cocktails were amazing. I can’t of wished for a better place to host friends and family, and all guests specifically mentioned how amazing the venue and staff were. I can’t wait to be back for a negroni - thank you so much.

Stefano (the owner) is a fantastic host. He always delivers top quality cocktails and makes you incredibly feel welcome. Definitely makes the best Old Fashions and is always willing to tailor drinks to individual’s tastes. A Brighton gem!

Stefano is great with cocktails! The old fashion is the best one I’ve ever had! I asked for a special cocktail based on a sweet and sour base and he absolutely delivered! Amazing energy and great vibes! A very intimate bar where you’re able to have conversation over amazing drinks!

We wandered in for a drink and were very pleasantly surprised at the beautiful and cosy interior, they really haven’t skimped on the little details. The staff were very lovely and accommodating and the cocktails were honestly delicious, I tried at least 8 different ones and every one was interesting and tasty. I will definitely be coming back to try the rest of the menu

Felt like we’d stumbled on a hidden gem, wasn’t too busy but cocktail menu was very different and delicious. Strong too, lovely decor and vibe. Recommend sitting upstairs, felt so exclusive.
