About Drift
Seaside soul. Laid-back energy. Brighton flavour.
Welcome to Drift Bar & Kitchen - your new beachside hangout perched on the iconic West Pier Beach, right next to the i360. We’re here for the golden hours, the long lunches, the sunset cocktails, and everything in between.
Whether you’re rolling in with pebble dusted feet or dressed for date night, Drift is all about effortless coastal vibes - bold flavours, cold drinks, and good times with good people.
Food That Feels Like a Holiday
Our menu is bold, beachy, and built to share - think blackened fish tacos, crab-loaded fries, mezze boards, and burgers done right. There’s something for every vibe, from lazy lunches to lively dinners, with veggie, vegan, and nourish-forward options always on deck.
Drinks Made to Match the Moment
We serve a curated line-up of coastal cocktails, crisp beers, and wines you’ll actually want to drink - from easy-going beach sippers to elevated pours that pair perfectly with sea views.
More Than a Bar - It’s a State of Mind
By day, Drift is a sun-soaked terrace with flowing wine, fresh plates, and a killer view. By night, it transforms - think golden skies, glowing lights, and laid-back beats from live DJs and acoustic sets. Whether you’re a Brighton local, a curious wanderer, or just chasing the sunset, you’ll feel right at home here.
