"Tiny basement rum bar with great food! So glad we found the place! Brisket was lovely, just a pile of beef on a plate, yum! Burger and Mac n cheese side also fab and the staff were wonderful. We arrived quite late but the staff cheerfully checked with the kitchen and we were able to order. I can also recommend the toasted Russian and zombie cocktails!"

The 8 best places in Falmouth to eat
The Brig has a cocktail menu of over 50 creations and an inspired menu (Rum & Raisin rack o’ ribs, anyone?). Described as a London cocktail bar with a Pirate twist’, the restaurant itself is located downstairs in a low-lit bar area; think long wooden banqueting tables and leather upholstery. If you’re feeling brave enough, take on board the 666 Challenge; eat six incredibly hot chicken wings in as many minutes and you’ll be rewarded with a free cocktail and your name above the bar.

A unique basement bar/restaurant, that specializes in an ever-expanding selection of rum, with a selection of over 50 cocktails and finger-licking barbeque styled food with a collection of sharing platters too, they offer a relaxed atmosphere within the depths of pirate ship surroundings.
