Gemini Beach Bar

Ahhh summer!! Banging tunes, sunshine, love it

The outdoor seating here is perfect for a summer afternoon drink, but it won't be a quiet one. The bar has live music acts on at the weekends and they are pretty loud. Great atmosphere though and last time I went they had a mojito bar outside and the drinks were mixed expertly. Lovely and refreshing - I didn't want to leave.

Just thinking about this place makes me long for the summer months. When I’m heading to the beach on a gorgeous, hot day Gemini is usually my first port of call for a huge jug of Pimms or chilled pint. The trouble is that most people in Brighton have the same idea so, like all places along the beach, it gets packed pretty quickly. It's also table service only - so you know that when people sit down here, they ain’t moving for a long while!

What makes Gemini better than the rest of the bars down on the promenade is that they pretty much always have a live band out the front belting out 90s and early 00s Brit pop and indie covers.

There’s not much I can think of that’s better than leaning back in your sunnies, soaking up the rays on Brighton beach to the sound of ‘We Are Young’ by Supergrass. Awesome. Roll on summer!

The Gemini Beach Bar is one of the best places to be in the sunshine, it the biggest bar on Brighton beach with a huge amount of outside seating, but of course it's still as difficult to get a seat as anywhere else in the area! They have table service I guess to stop the queue spilling out the door so they hoard waiting staff running about with chip and pins. They also have live music most summer days which you can here all along the beach. Its a great little beach bar and makes the most out of its fab location

If it’s a hot sunny day then this is the first place I think of heading !

Situated in one of the arches along the sea front this bar is a legend !

Has a really nice seating area inside. If you can get one of the seats along the window then you have a great view to “people watch” people walking along the promenade.

If it’s hot, however, then you should make the most of their outdoor seating ! Bar offers table service - but be prepared to wait if they are busy. If you can’t get a table they will give you your drink in a plastic cup so that you can go and sit on the beach ! You can’t ask for much more in life than that !
