We held our engagement party at Block on Saturday 4th November. Such a lovely bar and the covered and heated garden was warm and comfortable on a crisp November night! Nice atmosphere and felt intimate for us and our guests, however plenty of space as well and nice not to feel confined to one area. Huge thanks to Simon who couldn’t do enough for us. Lovely guy very friendly and attentive.
If anyone is looking for event space I highly recommend Block. It puts the typical function room to shame with so much more to offer and something a little bit different.
Thank you again guys you gave us a lovely night to remember. �
Came over from Eastbourne to try the Sunday roast and it was stunning. Started with croquettes and pig hock, both yum and a perfect set up for the main show. Believe me their bertha oven has taken the humble Sunday roast to another level, perfect pork, wife had beef, but too much meat in my eyes but I soldiered on! The potatoes really really crispy. The charred cabbage which I was told is straight out the coals was fab. Creme d resistance was the giant butter and star anise carrot, perfect gravy. Was all top notch and well worth the trip over. Try it with a bottle of blank canvas, I did, this wine portrays class. Can't wait for my next visit. A very happy belly.
Amazing food, great wine and awesome staff, a hidden gem in Brighton. Now our favourite place to eat, x
Took some friends from Argentina for a meal here last night.
Venue = we had a table right at the front by the window, great for watching St James Street shenanigans on a Saturday night, near the DJ booth and bar so right in the atmosphere but still able to talk.
Food = delicious! Well presented, some vegan options for me, lots of great flavours. The meat and fish eaters were happy too!
Drink = nice craft ale on tap. the barman recommended some cocktails for each of us which were spot on
Staff = just fabulous, really attentive and friendly, explained the menu well to our visitors.
5* definitely will return here
That was the best Sunday Lunch I have had in Brighton. They have clearly chosen to have only a few things on the menu, but to do those few things really really well. The refurb has also made the place super cool.
Love this place...top food...friendly owners... cool music... very welcoming

We went in after the kitchen had closed, and the lovely gent behind the bar spoke to the kitchen for us and told us we could still eat. That was the first slow clap in admiration, as we were starving and running out of options. Then our food came. The beef brisket burger and the Block Burger. I swear to god, tears were shed. Or meat sweats (not sure). Amazing food to make people well jelly. Cocktails looks amazing as well, and I fully intend to smash a few in the future. �
We booked the cabana area in the garden for a very last minute wedding reception and the Block staff could not have been more accommodating in every way. Big shout out to the two bar staff, really friendly guy and gal, at one point I had my full glass of fizz cleared by mistake from our table and the bar member replaced it no questions asked, this is great service. The drinks were good value the food yummy and we all had a great night. I just wish you stayed open a bit later!! Such a great venue I would definitely hire again for a party! �
Perfect Sunday lunch in the garden 🍴chilled out tunes, good vibe & great service by friendly staff...would thoroughly recommend 👍🏻👍🏻
Want to say a massive thank you to all the staff at Neighbourhood, celebrated my 21st there two weeks ago and despite the rain it couldn't have gone any better! Great food, great staff and great drinks ��
Friendly welcome and service, best rib-eye steak I’ve had in ages with a delicious bone marrow gravy. Quality ingredients done vet well. Impressive.
Great Sunday vibes, the team are amazing and create such a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Well definitely be back. Oh, and they have impeccable taste in booking promoters!
Great casual dinner, fun environment, food tastes great with drinks - fried chicken, tacos, etc. my fav is caramelized pork tacos!
Brilliant service from Emma! Best bar staff in Brighton! We attended an event yesterday, Emma was helpful, friendly and efficient! Thank you!
I loved this place! Like a magnet we were sucked in. This is on point with London places. Brighton are a few years behind the capital and I think this is as close as you’ll get to the London scene. Really nice beer garden with DJ playing. Ordered some sharing plates, wow. Literally perfect. The ox croquets were unparalleled to anything else consumed that day, and that was a lot!
We decided to come here before the Easter bonnet parade and drag race. Never been before , liked the way place has been done up, is small but adds to atmosphere. We had a selection of flat breads and baked Camembert to start with . Really nice flavours and nice and light. We both had block beef burger. Lovely and hit the spot , very filling. Service was good as mega busy they coped well. Service was nice and attentive
Went here at the weekend. Received a warm welcome. The food was good although fairly small portioned.
Went for the tacos and a side of fries. Paid about £23.00 on a three for two promo had six tacos which tasted great but very pretty small.
Drinks were good and standard priced. If you like to smoke there plenty of room in the back in a heated open area. Would go again.
We stopped coming to the Block some time ago as the service had always been atrocious. Good news! it got better! There was a really good vibe at the Block this weekend. It was late afternoon, there was a dj on the decks & the beer garden was full. Block now takes cards - which it never had previously. Drinks were good, we didn't stop for food. Lots of the tables were 'reserved' & we were moved on twice by the manager. I did mention this & that we were locals but just got a shrug.
Great place for drinks in the sun - only downside - there were uncontrolled children running around & far too many hen parties. So it wasn't the most relaxing drink in the sun. But nice, nevertheless.
The best venue in Brighton for consistently putting on good DJs, great food and supplying the best cocktails.
A family friendly atmosphere that my family genuinely love.
My "go to" venue for a safe space for my kids. Never drama. Just good vibes.
Breakfasts are £6.50 each (£19 if you want bottomless bucks fizz or bloody Mary's).
The food took a while to arrive but the staff were very friendly.
Decor was unique and someone was having a haircut in the middle of the the bar (?), but worth a visit.
Very nice place well cooked food lots of drink choices , nice staff with friendly attitude good outsie area with cover and heaters like being inside but out fab
Great atmosphere with a nice patio, the staff are really nice, the menu is rich and the food was great, fresh and tasty and the price is very fair, loved it!
Great vibe-y venue in the heart of Kemp Town.
Lovely outdoor seating and cabana. Fantastic food too
Block has a cool, vibrant vibe with a comfortable inviting garden area out the back. If you're lucky you might catch a Tech-Noir set!
Really fun bar, Steve and Jezebel were great. Had pizza delivered direct to our table. Lovely afternoon and evening. Great decor too.
This will have been our 3rd or 4th visit to this Restaurant over the past year or so. We have alway's liked it otherwise we wouldn't have gone back however the past two visits have been
exceptional. Although it is in a chain, we have alway's found the food and service in this branch
very good. The waiters are alway's very attentive and patient whenever we have asked to change
our order etc.
BLOCK Bar hosted our summer party last month! It was the best party location EVER!! We had private use of the entire venue and the Ibiza style garden! The drinks and food were flowing and the bar staff and management brought the party vibes!!! Super cool people! Thanks so much for making the night so special! We will be back! LOVED IT!!! x
Whilst away with my wife for a long weekend in Brighton we decided to pop into the Bella Italia for dinner, we had a good table with good service, the wine was excellent and the food good, on time and hot. Would recommend it as a place to go if you are stuff in Brighton.

I'll be the first to admit that I'm biased. The owners have been acquaintances of mine for many years and I played a small part in the original garden renovation project so I'm well aware of the fastidious attention to detail that has gone in to creating the environment here. That said, even if these biases didn't exist Block would still be my go to place in Brighton. My aforementioned biases are overwhelmingly trumped by the fact that it's the place I met my wife.
We left Brighton many years ago but whenever we return for a cheeky weekend away we always find ourselves hanging out in the beer garden here. It's just a lovely place to be with such a chilled vibe about it. There's always interesting craft beers on tap and last time we visited we ate too and it was very tasty and reasonably priced. The staff are always friendly and the venue is spotlessly clean.
Block will always have a special place in my life as clichéd as that might sound, but for good reason. I also can't imagine that I'm the only one who feels this way given how great this place is.
Pleasant bar on St James Street, interesting decor , very pleasant staff and nice beer garden.
Met some friends there from Luxembourg, consumed a cple bottles of champagne in the beer garden and they remarked they liked the decor and the staff and the chilled atmosphere.
Nice bar to spend a evening in .
