New Year Spectacular

If you're planning your New Year's Eve in Brighton, you've probably already considered the legendary parties at The Mesmerist. Known locally as 'The Mes', this spot is right in the heart of Brighton’s Lanes, specifically located at 1-3 Prince Albert Street. It’s described as a dapper lounge bar and a key Live Music Venue, but it’s much more than just a standard pub. The venue spans three floors, each with its own individual style, and even features a lush roof garden, making it a great place to hang out regardless of the weather. It manages to feel elegant and sophisticated without being pretentious, offering quality food and expertly mixed cocktails alongside its regular entertainment schedule.

The main draw around the end of the year is their annual New Year Spectacular. The Mesmerist is known for hosting these events, which are often described as 'frightfully good'. Given the venue's usual lineup—which includes high-energy themed nights, burlesque shows, circus acts, local bands, and DJs—you can expect a high-energy night tailored primarily for adults and young adults. Since this is a major event, it operates on a ticketed basis; the venue website confirms this by mentioning options to 'Book Tickets Online' and 'Check availability', so you’ll definitely need to secure your spot ahead of time. If you decide to go, be prepared for a late one, as the venue is licensed to stay open until 2:00 am on weekends and for big events like this, extending past their usual midnight closing time during the week.

Beyond the main spectacular, remember that The Mes offers different environments within the building. For instance, they house 'The Flipside', a cocktail lounge inspired by the 1970s, which features popular drinks from that decade with a unique Mesmerist twist. Whether you are looking for the main dance floor or a quieter spot in the roof garden, the three-story layout offers plenty of options for the night.

It sounds like a solid, sophisticated option if you want a guaranteed spectacular night out right in the middle of the Lanes.
