About us
Cut through the AI noise – over a pint. 🍺
AI on Tap is a monthly pub meetup for people who are actually using AI, not just talking about it. We run in Brighton (and Hove, actually 😉) and London , swapping honest stories about what's working, what flopped, and what to try next.
No pitches. No slides. No tech bro talk.
What happens on the night
A few short talks from people doing real things with AI. Then we split into groups for Wins & Bins, where everyone shares one thing that worked and one thing that didn't. Each group reports back to the room, so you hear what's happening across the board, not just in your corner of it. Then it's the pub bit, which is usually where the best conversations happen anyway.
Who comes along
🛠️ Builders – developers and technical folk building with AI
💡 Users – people weaving AI into their day-to-day work
🚀 Enablers – consultants and agencies helping others transform
🌱 Explorers – AI-curious and not sure where to start, which is completely fine
If you're overwhelmed by the noise, come along. If you've tried things and want to share what worked or didn't, even better. No technical background needed and no dumb questions.
Real AI. Real People. Real Beer.
We also run AI on Tap Ignite, a pitch practice format for AI founders preparing to raise. Honest over polite.
Tickets are a small contribution that goes towards the bar. Find us at realaiontap.com

AI on Tap | Brighton | Episode 8
The Walrus, 10 Ship St, Brighton and Hove,, London, GBAI on Tap: Real AI. Real People. Real Beer.
📍 Brighton’s monthly meetup for AI-curious business minds; on first Tuesdays of every month
Cut through the AI noise - over a pint.
Tired of AI hype and jargon? So are we.
AI on Tap is a no-BS meetup for Brighton’s business leaders, managers, entrepreneurs, and knowledge workers who want to understand how AI is actually being used in the real world - without needing a computer science degree.No pitches. No slides. No tech bro talk.
Your ticket = your bar tab
The £15 ticket price goes straight onto your tab at the bar. That’s right – your ticket IS your drinks. No extra cost, just show up and start sipping.What to Expect
No pitches. No slides. No panels of people you'll never actually speak to.
Just a pub full of Brightonians (and Hove, actually 😉) having honest, practical conversations about AI. What's working, what's flopping, and what you can steal for your own business.
Here's how the evening unfolds:
Real stories to kick things off:
Two or three honest accounts from people doing real things with AI. Accessible to everyone in the room, whether you write code for a living or you've never opened a terminal in your life*.*Breakout Sessions:
The room splits into Builders (the more technical crowd) and Users (people putting AI to work in their day-to-day). You pick whichever feels right. Each group runs a Wins & Bins round. People share one thing that's genuinely working and one thing that flopped, so you walk away with real, road-tested insights rather than theory. Then each group shares their highlights back with the full room, so everyone benefits from both conversations*.*Link-Ups:
Sign up on the night for a five-minute one-on-one with a co-host or fellow attendee. Low pressure, high potential. If there's a fit, we'll put you in touch to keep the conversation going beyond the evening*.*After that? The structure drops away and it's just good people, good chat, and great beer. 🍺
First-timers especially welcome, no technical background needed. Some of us speak English. Some of us speak code (and English too 😉)
