NAUTILUS LOUNGE

Steven Lee and the crew from Subline Brighton are embarking on a new venture with the launch of Nautilus Lounge, a new venue in the heart of Kemptown.

Expect a warm welcome and relaxed atmosphere, with a selection of the best cocktails, a fine choice of wines and fizz, premium spirits and beers, and some decent grown-up soft drinks, as well as all the standards. Full drink menus will be published on the bar website and orders will be placed with a crew member so you can sit back and relax.

As for events, Nautilus Lounge is excited to have Ian Sinclair donning his quizmaster hat again; and now the Quiz will be every Monday. Beyond that, it’s anticipating the chance to welcome back Club Silencio, and to extend the range of theatre, music, and cabaret, though safety prevents this in the launch period.

Steven Lee, owner, says: “You'll descend from St James' Street and below the waves into the luxurious lounge or cosy crew quarters, each a comfortable inclusive space. Nautilus Lounge will be seated throughout and fully waiter served, which - alongside social distancing and thorough cleaning routines - helps to keep the venue as Covid-safe as possible.”

The Nautilus Lounge crew will be doing all they can to reduce risks and transmission of Covid-19, so spaces are limited, and reservations will be available by messaging on Facebook. As the regulations currently stand Nautilus Lounge can accept groups of up to six people from a maximum of two households (bubbles permitted). On arrival Nautilus Lounge will comply with tracking advice and require one responsible person from each party to sign in via a text message, and after that they'll do all the hard work.
