Found this place and was so glad we walked a bit further out of town to go. It’s an intimate bar with a pleasant and convivial atmosphere. Serge, the owner, greeted us at the door and made us feel very welcome. We got chatting to the other members and had a gorgeous end to our evening. Highly recommend and will definitely be visiting again whenever we’re next in Brighton. Thank you, Serge!
Visited D.T.M for my first couple of nights out in Brighton, and had a great time. Serge was a fantastic host who got everyone chatting away at the bar. As a solo traveller on my first visit to Brighton, I was a little nervous about visiting a club alone, but Serge put me at ease and I ended up having lots of interesting conversations with other visitors and locals alike. I'll definitely be back to visit when I'm next back in the area. Thank you again Serge for the great couple of evenings.
Petit private gay bar in Kemptown with friendly crowd and always a great welcome from Serge the landlord. Lucky to have it on my doorstep!
Very friendly crowd and the staff were lovely. Would happily come back when next in town.
First visit Surge the owner instantly makes you feel welcome very relaxed Interesting guy. Well laid out both levels, good selection alcohol, nibbles. Roll on next time.
Had a wonderful night out here. Serge is a gentleman of the old (and appreciated) school of hospital hosts. The venue is as warm and my fellow patrons were. I hope to return again and again. Thank you Serge! R. X
