UnBarred Taproom Weekender

If you have been wondering what is happening down at Elder Place this weekend, the UnBarred Taproom is hosting a three-day event starting today, Friday, April 17, and running through to Sunday, April 19, 2026. The team is marking their recent expansion, which was made possible after they opened a new production brewery in Worthing. While they are now brewing in two locations, this weekend is focused on celebrating the space they have in Brighton and the community support that has helped them grow.

For those planning to head down, the taproom is setting up a specific programme for the weekend. Starting at 16:00 today, DJ Massive Arms will be playing, and the atmosphere will include games inspired by the Brighton Pier. If you are interested in the raffle, they are running draws every half hour starting at 19:00 this evening. Each pint purchased for £5 earns you a ticket, and the main prize is a £100 bar tab. It is a straightforward setup: the draught beers are priced at £5, and there is no entry fee mentioned, so it seems to be open access for anyone wanting to drop by.

Dan Harris, the general manager, mentioned that the event is a way to thank the local community for their support over the years. It is essentially a chance to spend some time in the taproom with music and the usual range of beers. Whether you are a regular or just looking for a place to spend a Friday evening, the focus here is on the local roots of the brewery and the space they have created in the city.
