Clementine & Co

I recently visited @clementinecobtn a fantastic cocktail bar tucked away on Duke Street. It’s been a Brighton staple for a while now, and although I’ve been a few times before, I’ve somehow always left without getting any decent photos (no comment on the state of the photographer). This time, I made it my mission to change that and to give this place the shoutout it deserves

The venue spans two floors and has always been buzzing whenever I’ve visited, creating a lively but relaxed atmosphere. The drinks menu is extensive, offering something for everyone, from creative signatures to perfectly executed classics.

On this visit, we tried the Watermelon Margarita and the Picante De La Casa (Blanco tequila, agave, coriander, lime, Scotch bonnet tincture, Tajín rim). Both cocktails arrived looking incredible and tasted just as good, fresh, punchy, and beautifully balanced between sweet and citrus

That said, my personal favourites here have to be the Spicy Margarita and the Old Fashioned. They absolutely nail the classics, which is always a sign of a top tier cocktail bar

One of the standout features is their weekly special cocktails, chosen by customers, available for just £6 Sunday to Thursday (12pm–midnight) and until 7pm on Fridays. Even better, £1 from each of these goes to a rotating local charity, so you’re sipping for a good cause too

They also offer a selection of cocktails at Happy Hour prices (£8.95) during the same times, which is incredibly generous and makes it even easier to justify a visit.

Overall, Clementine & Co delivers on all fronts: great drinks, a vibrant atmosphere, and a genuinely feel good experience. Whether you’re stopping by for an aperitif before dinner or squeezing in one last cocktail before heading home, it’s definitely worth checking out. Booking and walk-ins available
