A new bar with three floors and board games has opened in the city centre. Mad Dog Brewery, a microbrewery from Cardiff, opened its first English taproom in Brighton’s Duke Street this week. Tim Waters, who bought the original brewery and taproom in May 2021, said Brighton was his first choice when it came to expanding because of the city’s "great vibe and brilliant culture".
For the first week, from the opening day on Friday, July 19, until Thursday, July 25, pints will cost £5. Each floor of the refurbished building at 24 Duke Street, formerly Sicilian restaurant Monjibello, has been decorated to represent their brews.
