Lovely bar and restaurant with really friendly staff. Chloe at the bar really helped out and dealt with me messing up our order a bit really well and was very patient. The bartender (don't know his name but had curly hair and nice rings!) was also really lovely and as were all the staff tbh. Service was also very fast and we were never waiting too long.
Ordered two tapas Tuesday deals which was such amazing price for a lot of great quality tasty food. Recommend the house Chardonnay :)

We had an amazing time at all bar one brighton! The service was excellent! We visited on a special occasion - my friend’s birthday and even though we were choosing between few places, we couldn’t decide for a better venue. The table was set up as per our request when we arrived, the staff was super friendly and smiling - we felt very well looked after. Such a good atmosphere, tasty food and the drinks!! Can only recommend and will definitely come back

The staff were outstanding so friendly and helpful and made us feel very special. They honestly couldn’t do enough for us. It was amazing.
The food was delicious, there was plenty of it and it was extremely good value for money.
The venue is clean and well decorated.
I am a wheelchair user and found everything was made so simple for me.
We’d all definitely go back.

We had the rib eye and it rates in my top 10 for flavour and texture, amazing! £70 for two beautiful steaks and a bottle of wine, totally worth it.
I asked if the candle on my table could be lit as we were celebrating and every candle in view was lit, super service :)

Here for a friends birthday. Venue was lovely, staff were so accommodating and very quick service. Food was incredible as were the drinks. Shout out to hayley who was an incredible waitress. Would highly recommended this place for food
Lucie Dickinson
The service was amazing- Chloe in particular was so helpful and very friendly. All staff very welcoming and it was a lovely atmosphere. The food was delicious and brilliant quality- we had 8 tapas between 2 and devoured it all. We had 2 cocktails and a bottle of wine, followed by coffees and desserts and there was absolutely nothing to fault! Our Affogato did come as only ice cream, without the espresso, which couldve been a problem, but I mentioned it to a lovely bartender who quickly resolved the issue, so there was no problem at all. We will definitely be coming back here very soon and very frequently! Such a lovely evening for such an affordable price. Thank you for such a wonderful visit!

Food was a little disappointing, for example the halloumi fries were very salty. Service was decent and a good friendly lively atmosphere - not too loud so as you have to shout to be heard.

I was heading to a show at the Brighton Dome, so I was looking for someone to have a nice meal before. The food here is tasty and enjoyable. The desert tasting board is a good idea and means you get to try a range of deserts. The staff were friendly, but it wasn’t the best service. I think this was down to the inexperience of the staff, but we all have to start somewhere. We ordered the Parmesan fries but we’re brought the wrong ones. It was quite busy inside, probably due to a show being on, so I would recommend booking.

I visited today with a group of friends and I absolutely loved the vibe! Great cocktails, food, and of course an amazing and very friendly staff. Would highly recommend this place on Brighton!
Mark Bowman
Good atmosphere on a Saturday evening. Staff were friendly, door staff friendly.
This would have been a 5 star review except the service was slow. Three members of staff tied up preparing cocktails so people just wanting a couple of pints waited 10 to 15 mins to be served. Maybe better use of staff and have one dedicated to serving beer and wine.
All in all a good night.

Arrived about 1pm this afternoon to a fairly busy pub which was expected as it is easter weekend. Found a table and promptly served by a waitress for drinks and food orders. So far so good - or so we thought. Drinks came and expected food to come within 30minutes of ordering seeing it was busy. An hour later we were still waiting for food with no explanation from waitress or anyone for that matter. It was only three meals! One of our party went to find out what was happening and was told another ten fifteen minutes- no at least half hour later we were still waiting we then cancelled our order there an then as we were not prepared to wait any longer. Our drinks were given free of charge and nothing was paid for which was as compensation I assume but we could have st least have had an apology! London Bridge was twice as busy and still get food in less than thirty minutes. You need to look into where your going wrong there...
I noticed on one of the reviews you have told someone the locks on the ladies toilet cubicles have been replaced? Did they suddenly disappear again as my wife has said they're not there.
Donna Shearn
Had a fantastic time with friends and food was excellent. Did not wait long for food even when the place was packed. Cocktails to die for. Would definitly come back when down in Brighton.
Margaret Wilkins
I would say that I was probably at least 30 years older than most of the people enjoying the bar. The security at the door was thorough but friendly and very welcome at this time. The atmosphere was good with great music tracks being played. The guys who made the cocktails were fun and very good at their jobs. Not somewhere I would normally go but it was my daughters' hen party and I have to admit I really enjoyed it.
Phil Price
Well done rib-eye steak had be returned to be cooked well done and same steak came back. Not a big issue as my wife really enjoyed it. My Mexican burger was cold and it seems the brioche bun want toasted. It wasn’t worth sending it back as we’d travelled a long way and was very hungry. Would we eat here again, probably in similar circumstances but I’d check elsewhere first. Staff were brilliant and worth 10/10.

We had a leaving do at All Bar One Brighton Pavilion yesterday (22nd July 2017) which turned into an engagement and we got married at 4.30! The manager Holly was in on the surprise and she totally made our day. I can't say enough good things about her! She was helpful and friendly, came up with ideas to make things even better, she had everything under control...she just couldn't have done more for us. Thank you Holly for making our big day so special. Thank you to all the other staff too who made it happen. The food was plentiful and delicious as was the booze! I highly recommend All Bar One.
Emma Dawson
I had my 40th birthday party there on Tuesday night. The staff were very attentive and as we had ordered one of the wine/beer packages, they offered guests a choice when they walked in, and served it to them, which just made it feel really special. The cocktails were lovely and the food tasty. Would definitely go again, maybe for my 41st!!
Sylvia Harris
Blood orange and grapefruit gin lovely but a bit over priced. place was really quite dirty . Only stayed for the one

All Bar One in Brighton is a great venue for socialising with friends. Good cocktail menu, lovely food too. Décor is light and relaxing, and seating at the front section is spacious. Outdoor seating also available. The only downside is, sometimes the music is sometimes rather loud.
Perry Channon
Really bad service! Waited 20 minutes before any staff noticed us and we had to go them to ask them for some service!
Waited 20 minutes for our drinks, food was adequate!
Our waitress seemed like she didn’t want to be there!
Won’t be coming back for a while
Lisa Franks
As with all branches of All Bar One, great atmosphere, friendly staff, nice place to relax & have a drink

We arrived in Brighton after travelling from 5am. Walked around to try and find breakfast for my elderly mother in law. All she wanted was some toast. Came across All in One and asked if they could make a few slices for her. No problem they said. 5 mins later it arrived. Beautiful freshly baked bread. We also ordered breakfast for myself and partner. Everything was beautifully cooked and presented. Would most definately recommend to anyone visiting �

Although part of a chain, this bar has a nice feel to it.
They have a great cocktail menu and a nice seating area outside which is a real sun trap.
I visited recently with some work colleagues - we all downloaded their new app and enjoyed a free glass of prosecco - no complaints about that!!!
Dominic H.
The bar has a nice open feel, everything is slick and modern but wow is everything expensive.
The food is over priced and the portions are small and that's being generous.
I had the "full" rack of ribs and I am still wondering what animal produced these ribs as they were possibly the smallest rack I have ever seen. It was as if I received a quarter rack? They tasted nice but I left feeling extremely hungry and ripped off.
On second thought I am downgrading my review from 2 star to 1 as I am still really miffed at the size of my ribs and considering the price I paid for a meal I would have expected a lot more. You don't go out to eat to come home hungry as the portions were far too small!!

I really am not a fan of this place and after previous experiences, I would never choose to go here. That being said, it was my friend's birthday yesterday and this was our chosen destination so I found myself once more back at All Bar One.
I will start by describing my experience previous to yesterday's venture. My first interaction with the staff was an awfully rude one. I went up to the bar to ask for a spare glass and the waiter paused, sighed and said in a very snobby and patronising tone, "What kind of glass? We have 9 different ones madame..." Well, if I had wanted a certain type I would have asked for one and anyway, there's absolutely no reason to look down your snobby nose at me for asking a perfectly normal question.
After this odd exchange, I went back to my table and we decided to order food. Trying to get the attention of a waiter to actually order was incredibly difficult. Once we did finally get someone's attention, they quickly scribbled down our order while barely speaking a word to us. We then waited for absolutely ages for our food, and when it did come it didn't even all come out at once. I had ordered nachos with pulled pork and for some reason, they came out a very long time after everyone else's food. When it did arrive, it was the most pathetic plate of nachos I've ever had. There was barely any cheese on them at all and the pulled pork was unbelievably weird. There were three 2p-sized blobs randomly placed on the nachos which I was most unimpressed by seeing as I had to pay £2 extra for the privilege.
Now, on to yesterday. There were no rude servers but there was definitely a rather odd woman who served us. When I sat down, she asked if I wanted to order a drink, so I asked for wine. She then asked me what size I wanted but without telling me the options or letting me see a drinks menu so I couldn't tell how much I was getting ripped off by. That was far from the oddest thing that she did though. When we had ordered and were waiting for the food to arrive, she felt the need to come up behind me and tell me that I needed to pull my trousers up. I think her intention was to be helpful but I found it to be incredibly inappropriate and made me feel quite embarrassed. Lastly, when we got the bill she stood directly behind my shoulder as I was checking our order and did not go away until I had passed the bill to someone else. She then went on to ask me, "How long will you be? Do I have time to go have a quick cigarette?" Totally weird.
I'd quickly like to mention the food. I decided to order a steak which I had asked to be served as rare as possible. They managed to achieve this quite nicely but the steak arrived lukewarm rather than hot as it should be. The portion was also quite small. My poor husband made the mistake of ordering the ribs which it said were a full rack. When they turned up, the whole table's jaws dropped as there was so little on the plate. It was absolutely shocking.
As you can see from my review, I really would not recommend this place. The service is ropey, the food is mediocre and stingy and it is also rather overpriced. The only reason it gets 2 stars rather than 1 is because my food was quite tasty, despite being small and cold. The decor is also quite nice too.

A nice member of the All Bar One chain. We booked a space for a group to meet up and it was nicely set to the side of the main space. This made for a much easier evening as people were able to locate the rest of the group without trouble - even those coming in from abroad with limited English. Yay!
The bar prices are silly and the food isn't anything notable, but it's a solid spot to stop and enjoy a drink or two.

I don't really do All Bar Ones, as a general rule. I've never found them to offer an experience, a food or a drink I couldn't find somewhere else, so I've mostly avoided them. However, my family wanted to take a break after walking all over Brighton when we came to the coast one day, so we sat down and played a few rounds of UNO over a couple sodas and pints.
They wouldn't allow us inside because of my brothers, and asked us to leave the patio session at 6pm on a Thursday, claiming children weren't allowed, even though other children were still in the area. Not really sure what that was about, but it doesn't really add anything to my opinion.
Definitely, I know for a fact that you can find better places in Brighton, even if all you want is a pint in the Pavilion area. Just find an alley in the Lanes, and you'll be much more satisfied.

I swung by All Bar One for lunch the other day whilst visiting Brighton for the day. Adjacent to the Royal Pavilion, All Bar one boasts an enormous front terrace which was perfect for an afternoon lunch and a pitcher of Pimms.
Although All Bar One is part of a semi-large UK chain of restaurants, it has a rather independent feel to it (apart from the printed menus/brochures which seem overly commercialized). Really nice interiors with lots of exposed brick and wood. Check out the chandelier made up of wine glasses (see pic). Service was friendly and spot-on.
The food way surpassed my expectations both for price and quality. This is not your average chain. The duck salad was fantastic, though i wished I ordered the steak sandwich. And of course paired with some Pimms and the warm sun, you have the making of a great lunch.
Gemma G.
Not a huge fan of All Bar One if I'm honest.
It's typical of a chain pub in that it lacks atmosphere and character. The doormen seem like an unnecessary step (for a pub/restaurant).
On one occasion my friend's glass literally fell apart in his hand. Staff weren't particularly apologetic considering the potential consequences of this, luckily no harm was done.
Cocktails are cheap but take an age to make, plus the quality isn't that great. I haven't eaten here but feedback I've had from friends is that it's decidedly average. It does have a nice outside area right next to the Pavilion gardens so may be a better option for a lunchtime drink.
It has a bit of a cheap and nasty vibe about it, with sticky tables and empty glasses left around. There are plenty of better options for a drink in Brighton, this one's best avoided.

Nice restaurant, but Food is average,
Service is slow and with major attitude.

I liked this place, having arriving in Brighton on a Saturday night and not reserving any tables, I stumbled upon All Bar One, situated near the Royal Pavilion. The Waitress was nice and the food was good too. Its very good value for money and there's a good choice of food which will no doubt appeal to most people.
Its not exquisite dining but its reasonable and i would definitely go back to this place again

Trendy restaurant, but not exactly family-friendly (when we arrived with a very well-behaved 10 year old, we were warned by our waiter that we'd have to leave by 9pm as children are not allowed after then!) Service was slow (seemed like there was only one server for the entire place!); the wine was good, but the food a little lacking for the price. Atmosphere was nice- on the trendy side... seating was comfortable.
