A Brighton cocktail bar has been named among the Top 50 in the UK, in a list sponsored by Franklin & Sons.

Gungho! on Preston Street ranked in 44th place on the list, after it came in 33rd spot during the 2022 list.

The bars on the list are places the industry likes to visit, and the aim is to give a definitive rundown of where to drink in the UK.

Aidy Smith, who presented the list earlier this month, said: “I am absolutely honoured to present this year’s Top 50 Cocktail Bars and in doing so, celebrating the beating heart of drinks discovery.

"Without mixology, the world would never be able to discover drinks in such a unique and beautiful way. It’s this passion that sets bars and teams apart with a collective love and thirst for taste exploration."

The full Top 50 list can be seen on the Top 50 Cocktail Bars website here.

What does Gungho! have to offer?

On its page on the Top 50 Cocktail Bars website it says: "Using seasonal and British produce and locally foraged ingredients, the bar team create intelligent flavour pairings to make drinks of distinction.

"Situated on Preston Street in the bohemian West Sussex seaside city of Brighton, the bar stands out from other venues as it is lit up in neon green."

The establishment has also been well-reviewed on Tripadvisor, earning a perfect score of 5/5 based on 61 ratings.

Their menu includes Revised Retro Cocktails, which are reimaginations of "disco-era drinks" as well as Seasonal Cocktails which "shine a spotlight" on local ingredients that are incorporated.

Finally, there is the Apothecary menu which is "filled with soft drinks that exploit the power of plants for hedonistic and other beneficial effects".

This includes Damiana with foraged gorse, coconut, soured raspberry and soda.
