ABYSS Brighton: Proposed Opening Autumn 2026

A truly independent food and drink space is coming to Brighton.

ABYSS Brewing are creating a new space for the City - ABYSS Brighton. Located at 47 Trafalgar Street, in the heart of Brighton, a destination built for fresh pours, seriously good food and welcoming vibes

At its core, ABYSS brings together a mix of independent standout food concepts, alongside a wide-ranging drinks offer - from ABYSS beers and collaborative brews to local wines and low- and no-alcohol options - supported by a programme of events and creative activity that keeps the space evolving. Designed to balance scale with intimacy - a space with energy, but still room to find your corner.

Founded by Andrew Mellor and Andy Bridge, ABYSS began in the basement of a pub, experimenting with a range of beers that quickly gained a following and continue to shape its core range today. Since then, it has grown into a recognised name within Sussex’s independent beer and hospitality scene, with a successful taproom in Lewes, a summer popup in Newhaven and a reputation for bold, expressive brews and distinctive, art-led design.

Alongside beer, a shared passion for food has always been central to ABYSS - shaped by travel, discovery, and a constant search for new ideas. ABYSS Brighton brings this together for the first time as a full expression of that approach.

Events, collaborations, and creative projects will shape the experience, with the space also opening up for private hire.
A place to discover - and keep coming back to.
