Brighton from Above: Rooftop Bars and Viewpoints
Brighton offers some spectacular elevated views, from proper rooftop bars with panoramic sea vistas to the breathtaking 360-degree experience of the i360 observation tower. Whether you’re looking for a glamorous rooftop cocktail at sunset or the most dramatic possible view of the city and coast, Brighton delivers spectacularly from above.
The British Airways i360
The i360 is Brighton’s ultimate elevated experience. The world’s tallest moving observation tower takes passengers up to 138 metres above sea level in a glass pod for stunning 360-degree views across Brighton, the South Downs, and the English Channel. On a clear day you can see for up to 26 miles. The pod has a licensed bar serving champagne and cocktails.
Rooftop Bars in Brighton
Brighton has several excellent rooftop bars offering elevated drinking with sea and city views. These venues are particularly magical at sunset when the sky turns gold and pink above the English Channel. They tend to be popular — booking in advance for summer evenings is highly recommended.
Hotel Rooftop Terraces
Several of Brighton’s hotels have rooftop terraces open to non-residents for drinks and dining. These elevated spaces offer a more exclusive rooftop experience with excellent service and beautiful views. They’re perfect for special occasions and celebrations.
Natural Viewpoints
For free elevated views, the hills surrounding Brighton provide spectacular perspectives. The South Downs ridge above Brighton offers panoramic views over the city, the coast, and the sea. The Devil’s Dyke viewpoint, just outside Brighton, is perhaps the most spectacular.
