If you are looking for a venue that perfectly balances style, intimacy, and a welcoming community spirit, Affinity Bar is your essential Kemptown destination. Located on the vibrant St James’s Street, we are a queer-owned and operated sanctuary that serves as the perfect social hub for Brighton’s LGBTQ+ community. We’ve designed Affinity to be a space where “sophisticated lounge” meets “lively neighborhood local,” offering a polished yet incredibly friendly atmosphere.
Our venue is all about the art of the cocktail and the joy of connection. With its sleek, modern decor and warm lighting, Affinity is the ideal spot for an afternoon drink, a pre-club gathering, or a cozy date night. We pride ourselves on a premium selection of spirits and a team that genuinely cares about making every guest feel at home. Whether you’re a local regular or a weekend visitor, the vibe is always inclusive, relaxed, and chic.
As the evening progresses, Affinity turns up the energy. We host some of Brighton’s most beloved DJs and cabaret performers, transforming our intimate space into a buzzing social hotspot. From chilled-out house beats to high-camp sing-alongs, our entertainment is curated to celebrate the diversity of our community. We are proud to be a space where you can start your night with a perfectly shaken martini and end it with a dance among friends.
Lovely!
I really do like Affinity bar, the staff are super friendly and there's usually a great vibe.
Small gay bar, mixed crowd. Friendly barman. Visited mid afternoon. Has AC which is great as there’s no outdoor seating.
Very much a you can't sit with us vibe, love the movie, hate the experience
