Drift Upper is a smaller roadside venue beneath the Brighton i360, built around a large terrace with sea views. It works best during the summer months. Smaller in scale than the main venue, it has direct sea views and a casual coastal feel — used for daytime visits, sunset drinks, and casual get-togethers.

About Drift Brighton

Drift Brighton is a Tagvenue Partner. This business has registered with Tagvenue and agreed to our venue partner standards.

Drift Brighton is a British restaurant that pairs generous, comfort-led cooking with regular live music.

Venue highlights: In-house catering provides flexible British menus that include extensive vegan, vegetarian and gluten‑free options. Outdoor terraces and an upper deck create open-air spaces for drinks and socialising, and the team can programme promoted or ticketed live-music nights alongside private hires.

Best for: Private lunches and dinners; ticketed live-music nights and promoted events; informal drinks receptions on the terraces.

Location: Kings Road runs along Brighton's seafront beside the i360 and West Pier. The promenade setting puts a cluster of bars and eateries within easy walking distance for post-event plans.

What guests say: The food is generous and delivers strong flavour in classic British dishes such as the Sunday roast. The service is attentive and friendly, and the upper deck and terraces provide open-air dining and clear sea views.
