Divino Wine Bar - Brighton

We popped in thinking we 'd like a cocktail before meeting friends for dinner. First warning sign was asking for a straight vodka martini, and the barman saying he can 't make one (really? ! And can only make what 's on the menu. Their martini was full of extra fruit and vanilla flavoring, so passed on that. We went for Cosmopolitans instead, the menu suggested that would be pretty close to what a cosmo is sposed to be. It arrived, and I 'm really not sure if it had any alcohol in it, seemed to be just sugar and grapefruit juice. Having drunk copious Cosmopolitans and Vodka martinis in NYC, I know what I 'm sposed to be getting, and this was very much not it. At 14£ per cocktail they are taking the proverbial.

Arrived with high hopes after recommended, what a disappointment, rude and overbearing staff, average, overpriced food. Better off getting a pizza next door

One of Brighton's best venues is always welcoming, always has good cocktails, a brilliant atmosphere, and good people! the outside garden is fantastic and is open all year round. one of the best spots in Brighton , would highly recommend it!

I had a great time with my friends at Divino, it was a busy Friday but the staff managed to find us a table and we didn’t regret it at all

The place is very nice and the staff were very friendly. Definitely recommend this place for a party. Very cosy and the drinks are good.
