The Bronze

Was on the way to the Black Dove after someone said they sell Bloody Mary's there. Went here en route to check it out because it was closer. My God, what a treat! This is without a doubt the best Bloody Mary I've ever had. Smokey, savoury and spicy as hell. Apparently they use bacon vodka as well as regular vodka. I'm not usually one for flavoured vodka but if there's any place for bacon vodka it's in a savoury cocktail. Cannot recommend the Bloody Mary from THE BRONZE enough!

The vibe here is amazing. We were treated like stars and there is such a brilliant selection of alcohol with Whiskey being the bar speciality. Additionally, for those who do not drink, there is actually a good selection of non alcoholic beverages. Food is brillian and Staff are attentive and friendly. Only small, very small, qualm is that for a Buffy themed bar there isn't much Buffy!

Rocked up to this fine establishment this morning with a powerful hangover and a hankering for sustenance. Was greeted heartily by the staff and a backdrop of smooth unobtrusive jazz, and ordered the burnt ends hash for breakfast. An astounding assembly of smoked meat, smoked potatoes and cabbage, BBQ sauce, red onion, and baked eggs arrived in a piping hot skillet, accompanied by a delicious garlic and ginger homemade hot sauce. I ordered extra bacon, which was firm and flavoursome, and sourdough toast that made for a robust and pleasingly crunchy edible hash scoop. It was glorious. All of it. Wanted to order it all over again, and was only prevented from doing so by my goal of attempting to drop a trouser size ahead of my wedding in a few months' time. If I could eat this all day I would. Will be back to sample more delights the next time I'm in Brighton for sure. Also cured my hangover.
