Hove is their second location, following their hugely popular original bar in central Brighton. I was so excited when I heard they were opening in Hove; it’s a stunning space serving some of the best cocktails around.
After dinner in Hove, we were craving an espresso martini to finish the night, and The Plotting Parlour was the obvious choice. The relaxed atmosphere makes for a gorgeous setting, and the bartenders are true perfectionists when it comes to crafting the perfect drink. We ordered an Espresso Martini and one of their signature cocktails, the Soma, a mix of Mezcal Verde Amaras, matcha, white chocolate, mint, Maxime Trijol VS Cognac, and cream. It was honestly incredible. As someone who loves mint chocolate, I was so impressed by the layers of flavour in this drink. Creative, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious, definitely try it if you enjoy mint chocolate notes as much as I do
Overall, The Plotting Parlour is one of my favourite cocktail bars, and a must visit if high-quality cocktails are your thing. Be sure to check out either of their locations
