An all-day bar-café

In Brighton

Permit Room Brighton

Nestled into Brighton’s bustling lanes, an all-day bar-café, a tribute to the way that Bombay cuts loose.

Drop by for round-the-clock deliciousness: Snacks, Chaats, Salads, Curries (and Dishoom faves). Finish up with an ice cream sandwich – a special Bombay-Brighton treat.

Wash it all down with our late-night cocktails – they pack a punch (voted ‘Best Cocktails’ at the BRAVO Awards). Local beers and DJs, too. And for the morning after a night of revelry, a fresh Breakfast Naan will be waiting for you.

Bookings

Permit Room Brighton is mostly for walk-ins – but we do hold some tables for reservations. If you’re with a big party, it’s best to book in advance (you might be spread across some close-together tables). After the kitchen has closed, come for a late-night snack and a drink (walk-in or book).

Our Aunty Bar roofterrace is bookable during the warmer months (when it's not raining) – just leave us a note when making your booking and we'll do our best to save you a spot.
