Vagabond has opened a wine bar in Brighton’s Duke Street, bringing its self-pour format to the former Browns Brasserie premises.
The 2,980 sq ft venue offers more than 100 wines by the glass through the brand’s tap-and-pour machines, alongside seasonal sharing dishes.
Inside, customers will find a stainless steel bar, a staircase lined with riddling racks and a private dining room. Planned events include tastings and cheese-and-wine masterclasses.
The opening is the Majestic-owned business’s first new high-street location outside London since 2021.
Vagabond says its estate has grown from nine to 15 locations over the past 18 months, supported by Majestic Wine Group and Fortress Investment Group, with further towns and cities in its sights.
For Brighton drinkers, the attraction is the chance to compare wines by the glass in one venue, with food and organised tastings forming part of the offer.
