.Hen party events provided by 76 Events - fantastic Hen party activities in a central Brighton location.
Reviewed By ClaireLH28 - Greater London, United Kingdom
We really enjoyed our hen party event at the Copper Rooms - we got to make delicious cocktails, laughed a lot and danced the night away! We felt very well looked after by the attentive (and attractive!) bar staff, especially our cocktail making mentor, Liam, who made our bride feel very special. The guys even got her up for a dirty dancing style lift near the end of the night! The cocktail making class was fun, the music played was great - they covered lots of genres, the decor was gorgeous and there was a brilliant atmosphere in the place all night! A big thanks to the team at Copper Rooms for a fantastic night :)

Say hello to the new-look Quadrant, one of Brighton's oldest watering holes, newly taken over Feb 2020. We're a quirky little independent boozer, just down the hill from Brighton train station. We're potty about Brighton. We grew up here; it's why the scrumptious craft beer we stock is made around the corner by our friends at the Unbarred Brewery. We've also got great live music, comedy and craft workshops to entertain you upstairs.

The Colonnade Bar is a delightful place to spend the evening with a great selection of drinks and a theatrical decor that is pleasing to the eye. The staff are incredibly friendly and always happy to help, with a large knowledge of gins, their speciality beverage. Overall a lovely place well worth a visit.

Neon-lit bar with a sustainable approach, seasonal and classic cocktails, organic wine and funky beats!

The best cocktails in Brighton! Wonderful and inventive cocktails in a lovely setting down Preston street, a destination in itself. As others have said, the martinis are to die for (repeatedly) - we've had all sorts of variations including seaveg and tomato essence (really! And lovely too). If you like cocktails, you should visit. If you don't like cocktails, then visit and be converted. And if you love cocktails - well you're probably there already... Yet another reason why Brighton is one of the best cities on the planet!

I held my 30 something birthday here and was overwhelmed at the service provided! The cocktails are incredible and they even set up a karaoke night downstairs for me and my friends! This is a great venue for a quiet drink in the afternoon or a fab night out with the best music in town. Please hold more karaoke nights!! Thank you for being my new favourite bar!

My dad and I walked past this pub and wanted to give it a try. The moment we came into the pub we were greeted by the bar tender Glen, we had an amazing time and Glen is an amazing bar tender! He made us feel very welcome and it felt like home. I will definitely be back again!

We booked the Jenny Lind for our Golden Wedding Anniversary during the Pandemic having been there during the summer with a group of friends and loved it. I told Sarah, the manager, it was a special occasion as we had intended either going abroad or at least celebrating with family and friends but alas this wasn't to be. Imagine our surprise and delight therefore when, on arrival, my bag was carried up to our room where we found our bed and room decorated with flowers, candles, petals and glitter with prosecco and glasses to celebrate. Our table in the bar later in the evening was also decorated. It made it so special for which we are so grateful. Hastings is a lovely town and we had a lovely time enjoying the local eateries including Huss and Chips from Old Time Fryer, one of the many fish restaurants, a fantastic Indian meal at Ocean Spice and probably one of the best hamburgers I've ever had from the Two Bulls Steakhouse. Hastings has some lovely walks and we both felt another trip after lockdown is a definite date. There are only 5 rooms at the Jenny Lind, but all have en suites. We had a double room with full bath with shower. There is a small fridge, hairdryer, coffee/tea making facilities with milk provided and a really comfy double bed. We opted for room only but breakfast can be included, provided by the restaurant opposite. For the 3 nights we were there, there was plenty of cupboards/wardrobe space for our clothes. All in all I would definitely recommend the Jenny Lind.
