From Beer to Belonging: How Lost and Found Taproom Brings Brighton’s Fiveways Community Together

There is something truly magical about the moment a neighborhood corner transforms into a sanctuary of connection. Nestled right on Ditchling Road, Lost and Found Taproom has grown into much more than a destination for exceptional drinks, it is the beating heart of Fiveways. If you have ever wandered through this vibrant corner of Brighton looking for a place where everyone knows your name (or is eager to learn it), you know the feeling of warmth that washes over you the moment you step through our doors.

As an proudly independent Brighton venue, we built this space to be a true counter-culture to big-label, corporate beer. We believe that every pint should tell a story of creativity, community, and uncompromising craft. Whether you are a seasoned connoisseur of craft beer in Brighton or someone simply looking for a cozy spot to unwind after a long week, you belong here.

Finding Your Place in Fiveways

Fiveways has always possessed a distinct community spirit, a tight-knit village feel wrapped in Brighton's eclectic charm. When we opened our doors as a dedicated craft beer taproom, our vision was simple: to create a cozy and friendly space where neighbors, friends, and explorers could discover new flavors and share genuine conversations.

Unlike the generic, echoing halls of massive chain pubs, a proper taproom brighton locals love thrives on intimacy, personal recommendation, and passion. The walls of our taproom are adorned with local art, and our fridges are meticulously stocked with takeaway cans and bottles from brilliant, independent Sussex producers and craft pioneers across the UK. Each sip celebrates brewers who stay fiercely independent and rooted in their craft.

A Rotating Taproom Experience: Celebrating Independent Sussex Brewers

Walk up to our bar on any given afternoon, and you will find an ever-evolving lineup pouring from our rotating taps. We proudly champion independent Sussex breweries over corporate-owned "craft" imitations. From hazy, hop-forward pale ales to crisp, refreshing modern styles, our selection is curated to surprise and delight your palate.

We love the thrill of discovery. When you ask our team what is pouring, you aren't just getting a beverage recommendation; you are getting a passionate breakdown of who brewed it, where it came from, and why it deserves a spot on our lines. It is this dedication to freshness and expertise that makes exploring taprooms in Brighton such an exciting adventure for local beer enthusiasts.

Weekends, Street Food, and Shared Plates

While we are strictly a taproom rather than a restaurant, meaning we don’t have an on-site kitchen or ovens, we certainly know how to keep your appetite satisfied! On weekends, we regularly welcome fantastic street food vans outside our doors, serving up everything from gourmet burgers and bao buns to mouthwatering specialty dishes.

Grab a freshly poured pint of independent Sussex craft beer, step outside into the Sussex sunshine or cozy up indoors, and pair your drink with whatever delicious street food vendor is visiting us that weekend. It’s casual, vibrant, and designed to bring people together over incredible food and drink.

More Than Just a Pint: Events and Celebrations

A great independent brighton taproom is a stage for community life. Throughout the week, Lost and Found comes alive with a dynamic calendar of events. From lively quiz nights and book clubs to local club meetups and social evenings, there is always an excuse to drop by.

Planning a special milestone? If you are searching for the ideal Brighton party venue, our space is available for private hire for up to 80 guests. Whether it’s a milestone birthday, an engagement party, or a relaxed community gathering, our team is here to help you host an unforgettable event tailored to your exact vision. With our extensive range of independent craft beers, locally curated wines, and flexible space, your celebration will feel intimate, effortless, and entirely yours.

Locally Curated Wines and Inclusive Sips

We know that not everyone in your group might be a die-hard hophead, which is why our bar is thoughtfully stocked beyond just beer. For wine lovers, we offer a carefully curated selection of local and interesting wines that match the same standard of quality and independence as our beers. Everyone is included at Lost and Found, ensuring that whether you are sipping a bold Sussex stout, a natural wine, or a soft drink, you feel right at home.

Come Join the Family

Lost and Found isn’t just a location on Ditchling Road; it is a living, breathing community built by the people who walk through our doors every single day. We are proud to be part of the vibrant fiveways pub brighton and taproom landscape, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with independent makers and curious drinkers alike.
