Seriously Good Vibes, All Year Round
Rooftop spritzes in summer, candlelit cocktails in winter – this place has range
If you know, you know. The Rose Deal is where Deal’s effortlessly stylish crowd flocks for cocktails, conversation, and a side of laid-back glamour. It’s got that low-key buzz that says, “Yes, this is the place,” without shouting about it. Come for the vibe, stay for the drinks—and don’t be surprised if everyone around you looks like they’ve just stepped out of a lifestyle shoot.
Whether you’re catching the last of the summer sun on the rooftop terrace or cosying up indoors with something strong in hand, The Rose Deal delivers year-round charm in spades.
When the sun’s out? Head up
Let’s start at the top—literally. The rooftop terrace at The Rose is one of Deal’s most coveted spots. Hidden above the High Street, it’s a relaxed, sun-drenched space that ticks every box: golden-hour light, breezy tables, and a cocktail in hand. It’s not huge, which makes it feel all the more special when you’re lucky enough to land a seat.
Whether you’re sipping solo with your sunglasses on or gathered with friends for a pre-dinner spritz, this is where summer in Deal happens. Plus, the atmosphere is always upbeat, which makes it perfect for everything from lazy afternoons to lively evenings.
Winter? Even better
When the rooftop’s closed for the season, inside becomes the main event—and honestly, we’re not mad about it. The mood shifts in the best way: soft lighting, jewel-toned walls, vintage prints, and the kind of atmosphere that wraps around you like a velvet jacket.
It’s where you head when the weather turns but you still want a night that feels like something. In fact, whether you’re out-out or just popping in for one, you’ll want to stay longer than planned.
Drinks done properly
The Rose Deal doesn’t mess around when it comes to cocktails. The list is compact, seasonal, and refreshingly unfussy—classic martinis, negronis, spicy margaritas, and house specials that change with the mood. Each one’s well-balanced, beautifully presented, and strong enough to count.
Prefer wine? Expect interesting, low-intervention bottles with a natural lean and plenty of character. Or keep it crisp with bubbles and pét-nats that are just made for sunny afternoons. There’s also a solid range of craft beers and decent no-alc options that feel every bit as considered.
Moreover, the drinks feel indulgent without being over the top, which makes it easy to go from “just one” to “why not stay for another?”
Interiors worth making a night of
Step inside and it’s instant atmosphere. The design feels somewhere between a Parisian cocktail bar and a creative’s townhouse—think velvet booths, vintage prints, and that magical balance of relaxed and cool. It’s intimate, unfussy, and you’ll always spot someone you wish you could ask where they got their coat.
Food is served too—one half of the pub is reserved for dining if you fancy keeping things easy and staying put.
Because of the space layout, you can enjoy a proper drink at the bar without being caught in a dinner rush, which adds to the relaxed experience. Even better, there’s no pressure to move on quickly.
Staying with Coaste?
If you’re staying in one of our Deal cottages, The Rose Deal is just a short wander away. No taxis, no fuss—just an easy stroll back to your place after cocktails on the roof or a cosy winter nightcap.
You’ve got the comfort and privacy of your own space, plus all the best bits of Deal right on your doorstep. It’s the kind of setup that makes evenings out feel effortlessly good.
Final thoughts?
Whether it’s rooftop spritzes in July or candlelit cocktails in December, The Rose Deal is where Deal dresses up, winds down, and pours one of the best negronis in town. It’s effortlessly cool, totally charming, and absolutely worth adding to your list.
