Shortlisted: Eight Eastbourne Pubs That Locals Always Recommend!

A seaside town that oozes history. It’s no wonder we enjoy our visits to Eastbourne so much. Take a stroll along the award winning beach, pop into one of the cafes for your morning pick me up, then explore the town centre with its many independent shops.

And if you’ve brought your hiking boots head over to Beachy Head and explore the chalk cliffs.

There’s no doubt this town is a fantastic place to spend a day or two, but there’s another reason we love this place so much – the great selection of pubs in Eastbourne! 

Regardless of how you spend your time in Eastbourne, if you’re like us then after a day of adventuring you’ll want some fantastic food and a refreshing pint. 

And to help you find that perfect pint and good food, we’ve decided to put together a list of what we believe are the best pubs in Eastbourne.

As you’ll soon see, there’s a common theme with the ale – Eastbourne knows what they like! So sit back and relax while we guide you through the best pubs in Eastbourne! 

brewery tour eastbourne

The Eight Best Eastbourne Pubs For Beer, Food & Fun!

1. the crown.

It’s no secret we love an ale, and we’re also big fans of fun. So when the two are combined like here at The Crown in Eastbourne, consider us sold!

This friendly traditional pub has a modern edge to it, but also a log fire in both the main room and saloon! An award-winning pub, The Crown also has fun and games every Sunday lunch time when there are competitions run for customers and even a meat raffle!

There’s even themed quiz nights with a complimentary hot buffet. So be sure to check their Facebook page in advance of your visit.

On top of that there’s also regular live music which will sometimes take place in the wonderful beer garden – perfect for those dimly lit summer evenings.

Throughout the day children and dogs are welcome to play in the beer garden, and there’s often BBQ’s in the summer too.

And to top things off there are three beer festivals held here every year where you’ll get a chance to try more than the usual ales on offer which are Gun Scaramanga Extra Pale, Harvey’s Sussex Best Bitter and Young’s London Special.

With so much to offer year round in such a great looking establishment, it’s easy to see why The Crown is one of the best pubs in Eastbourne!

Address: 22 Crown Street, Old Town, Eastbourne, BN21 1PB

brewery tour eastbourne

2. The Hurst Arms

If you like your pub to have that classic Victorian look and proper pub feel, then head on over to The Hurst Arms !

Separated into two bars, you’ll find the main one has a pool table, darts and jukebox – which we all enjoy getting our hands on after a few! Through into the lounge you’ll notice it’s a quieter area with that added bit of extra comfort which is great to rest your legs.

A proper old school pub, you’ll find no food on offer here but who cares when you’ve got a wonderfully stocked bar complete with a good range of beer and ale. Loyal to Harvey’s Brewery you’ll likely find Forward’s Choice, Sussex Best Bitter and Wharf IPA regularly available. In addition, there are some changing ales throughout the year including Harvey’s Christmas ale which comes in at a merry 7.5%!  

There’s outside seating for those warmer days, dogs are welcome and vapers rejoice as you don’t have to go outside to vape. Real smokers still have to, but don’t worry the smoking area is heated.

With live music every couple of weeks this is a great pub to pop in for one, strike up a conversation, then end up staying late into the evening. Definitely one of the most old school pubs in Eastbourne, and we love it.

Address: Hurst Arms, 76 Willingdon Road, Ocklynge, Eastbourne, BN21 1TW

brewery tour eastbourne

3. Bottle Grove

We love a micropub for the cosy and friendly atmosphere they always provide, alongside the comfort of knowing you are trying the best craft beer around. Plus the fact those serving you have a passion for what they do and understand it.

So for your chance to find your new favourite craft beer, head to Bottle Grove . Once you do, take your time and try all you can (within reason, drink responsibly folks). With over 200 beers available, if you’re unsure where to start all you need to do is ask the friendly staff what you tend to enjoy normally, and they’ll be able to think of something new for you to broaden your horizons.

There’s usually four beers on tap, so it’s not all bottles and cans. If you’re bringing a friend and they’re not a massive fan of beer, let them know there’s also a selection of craft cider, spirits, wine and gin too.

Open from 2pm to 10pm, Bottle Grove knows not everyone wants to down their drink at the end of the night, so they do hold a licence till 11pm and judge it on the day as to whether to stay open a tiny bit later.  

Address: 56B Grove Road, Eastbourne, BN21 4UD

brewery tour eastbourne

4. The Eagle

That’s enough about beer for now, what about where you can eat? Well how about at The Eagle – one of the friendliest pubs in Eastbourne where there’s also a great range of tasty meals at reasonable prices.

Try one of the home cooked pies, nachos or grab something from the American diner inspired menu. If you’re looking for something a little different you can’t go wrong with one of the Yorkshire Pudding Wraps with Mini Roast Potatoes, Pigs in Blankets and Blue Cheese Gravy.

And to wash it all down there’s a few ales to choose from with Harvey’s Sussex Best Bitter and Hobgolin usually available.

If not dining, keep yourself entertained with some live sport on the TVs or play some pool at the cheapest pool table in Eastbourne that we’ve found! Things inside are nicely decorated, well laid out and comfortable in both the bar and dining areas.

Dogs are welcome here too, and they’ve even got a fantastic little roof top garden which is well worth checking out.

And on top of that there’s occasional live music as well, so make sure you take a look at their events page to see if there are any bands playing when you’re in town. 

Address: 57 South Street, Eastbourne, BN21 4UT

brewery tour eastbourne

5. The Dolphin

Located within an area of Eastbourne known as ‘Little Chelsea’ which is filled with independent shops and some lovely buildings, The Dolphin is well worth a visit.

The interior is beautifully decorated with that traditional pub feel still being retained. There are two bars to choose from with the main one boasting an open fire. There’s also a larger room mostly used for dining and a great patio area to enjoy some sunshine.

Like most bars and pubs in Eastbourne, the atmosphere is very friendly so this place attracts patrons from all age groups as well as locals and tourists.

The menu features a lot of classic pub dishes such as burgers, fish & chips and pies. But one of our favourite things about The Dolphin is their weekly ‘Meat Free Monday’ where only vegan and vegetarian food is served and all at half price! That provides a great chance to try some delicious plant-based food that many people usually wouldn’t.

Or if you happen to time your visit for a Wednesday then be sure to take part in their quiz night. 

Harvey’s Sussex Best Bitter is served here as it’s a very popular ale in the area and there’s three ever changing taps to give different brewers a chance.  

There is disabled access throughout as well, and like more Eastbourne pubs, dogs are welcome too.  

Address: 14 South Street, Eastbourne, BN21 4XF

brewery tour eastbourne

6. The Lamb Inn

We love places with history and you don’t get much more historic than one of the oldest pubs not just in Eastbourne, but the whole country. The cellars at The Lamb Inn themselves can be dated back to 1180, and if you arrange in advance, you can even get a tour!

The two traditional bars here are filled with period features and from the moment you sit down you will be well aware you are somewhere special. The fireplaces are rather grand, and hopefully you’ll be able to get one of the luxury chairs beside them. However if not, everywhere else is just as comfortable.

So is there more than just history here? Of course there is! There’s a menu filled with great pub food with a modern twist and some fine ale.  

If it’s food you’re in for then try the Beer Battered Fish and Chips which are well known locally as being some of the best around. The burgers are rather special too, especially on Mondays when you can grab one with a drink for £12!

Fear not if you visit on Tuesday as why not take advantage of the Harveys Ale Steak Pie for the same offer. There’s a good selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes too, so there should be something for everyone.

How about that ale? As this is a Harveys pub you can get Armada Ale, Sussex Best Bitter or one of the seasonal changing ales. There is a carefully selected wine menu too if you’d rather some fine grape juice with your meal.  

As for entertainment, The Lamb Inn often has live music, comedy nights and even holds theatrical productions in the function room upstairs.

On top of all that, this history-filled, family friendly pub also has disabled access and you can bring your dog along… what’s not to love? 

Address: 36 High Street, Old Town, Eastbourne, BN21 1HH

brewery tour eastbourne

7. The Victoria Hotel

After an afternoon strolling the beautiful seafront in Eastbourne you may be looking for somewhere to unwind even more. And tucked away near to the sea is the wonderful Victoria Hotel.

The bar itself looks incredible as it’s styled on those from Victorian London. To help add to the aesthetic, the walls display some Victorian portraits. But if you’re not too interested in the surroundings then you can always tune into the live sport on the TV, play pool or darts, or enjoy a drink in the lovely outside garden area.

Food isn’t served here but the good news is you’re more than welcome to bring in your own food from one of the takeaways nearby.

You can guess what else is welcome – your dog! Bring them along to get some water and a treat while you enjoy one of the Harveys ales on offer. Yep it’s Harveys again. What can we say, that ale has a stronghold over Eastbourne.  

Every week at The Victoria Hotel there are poker and quiz nights, and sometimes live music too. There’s disabled access throughout this establishment as well.

Address: 27 Latimer Road, Eastbourne, BN22 7BU

brewery tour eastbourne

8. Bibendum

If you’ve read this far, we won’t insult your intelligence by mentioning the ale… you know exactly what is on offer like all Eastbourne pubs! But this place is still definitely worth visiting.

Located within ‘Little Chelsea’, one section of Bibendum almost resembles a café which is perfect for sitting down for a coffee or meal. The other section feels more like a bar with some ideal homely touches from the decorating through to the lights.  

So this is a wonderful looking bar and pub in Eastbourne – that sounds similar to other places we have recommended right?

Well one thing that sets Bibendum apart is the food.  

This is somewhere special when it comes to food. You’re going to want to take your time and savour the dishes on offer. So we recommend going for a bottle of wine (they have one of the best selections in town) and the full three courses.

Start off with the soup or one of the nibbles such as garlic bread. The mains are those you’d expect in a pub like homemade pies, burgers and fish & chips – but this is pub grub done exceptionally well.

And if you’re looking for something a little fancier the chef has his own selection of specials with Sussex Duck and Pork Belly on offer when we last visited. If you’ve got room for desert (we didn’t) then the Double Chocolate Brownie and the Lemon Tart looked delicious.

If you’re after something a bit lighter to enjoy with your pint then there’s a good selection of sandwiches and wraps available. Or why not share a platter. 

To make things better, Monday through Thursday there’s a 2 for £18 deal on selected mains all day long, so you can even taste the savings! 

Should the weather be nice there’s some nice seating outside to enjoy everything on offer too, from coffee to whisky along with all the food. For us, this is easily one of the best pubs in Eastbourne.

Address: 1 Grange Road, Eastbourne, BN21 4EU

Brewery Tours

Harvey’s brewery tour.

Our brewery tour is not simply a walk around with a guide; it is a chance for us to meet our customers and give an insight to the art of brewing at Harvey’s. The informal sampling session that follows is a catalyst for one to one questions and answers.  We also gain a great insight from the experience and it is always a pleasure to entertain our customers in this manner.

We pride ourselves on providing a relaxed opportunity for customers to gain an appreciation of the brewing process and our heritage – and to raise any questions with our production staff.

BOOK NOW Tours are available to book from April 2nd 2024 here:  https://thelittleboxoffice.com/harveys/ 

Tours operate outside of brewery working hours: Normally Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 18:30 but there are some 16:00 slots as well occasional weekend tours .

Please see dates on the above link, which will be supplemented on a monthly basis.

Information Tours last approximately 90 minutes and cost £15.00pp including VAT and a booking fee.

Admittance is restricted to persons over the age of 18.

Our tower brewery is a Grade II Listed building and contains a number of staircases. Regrettably, this makes tours unsuitable for wheelchair users and those with limited mobility. Please ensure that your footwear is appropriate and avoid high heels.

For those arriving on foot/bicycle: please approach the brewery via our rear yard BN7 2JW , accessed from Cliffe High Street via North Court (opposite the Gardeners’ Arms).

Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your tour so you can be checked in and meet your guide before assembling in the cask shed.

Our toilet facilities are located in the rear yard and we would advise you to take advantage of this prior to the tour, as we will be unable to accommodate requests until the tour has ended.

The tour will finish in the cellars that lead to the rear yard.

Your tour guide will remain available to answer any questions following the tour and provide a tutored tasting of our beer.

Tour the distilleries and breweries of the East of England

Pure water and the uk’s best malting barley are keys to success.

With some of the best malting barley in the UK, the East of England leads the way in the renaissance of microbrewing, with more microbreweries than any other part of the country and a growing number of distilleries.

The English Whisky Distillery

St George's Distillery

Home of the Original English Whisky and set in the picturesque Brecks countryside by the gently flowing river Thet, the English Whisky Distillery was designed and built by the Nelstrup family who have over 600 years of growing and processing grain.

Roudham was chosen as the venue because it sits above the Breckland aquifer and Norfolk is one of the world’s premier barley-growing areas. The two ingredients you need for whisky? Good water and great grain.

As well as tours and events, the Distillery has The Kitchen restaurant and coffee shop.

www.englishwhisky.co.uk

Adnams Copper House Distillery

Adnams Copper House Distillery

Only launched in 2010, Adnams’ spirits have received countless awards and plaudits, including the coveted ‘world’s best’ trophies for gin and vodka. Yes, ‘world’s best’.

The distillery sits within the famous Adnams brewery in Southwold and is one of the most water and energy-efficient distilleries in the UK, forming part of the company’s impressive sustainable production system.

Modern distilling techniques and a small batch process creates spirits with exceptional quality, flavour and purity.

Tours of the distillery are available, but don’t rush your time in Southwold – it’s a picture-perfect coastal town that seems to have been set in aspic in 1953. The town has a traditional pier with some very untraditional amusements, quaint pubs, restaurants, artisanal food and drink shops and almost all the shops are locally-owned.

adnams.co.uk/about/copper-house-distillery

English Spirit

Master distiller Dr John Walters, a former biochemist, has made English Spirit at Great Yeldham Hall in Essex home to the world’s wildest variety of spirits and liqueurs distilled under one roof. Every one of their products is made from scratch in more than 20 copper pot stills around the clock in a 200-year-old barn.

There are various tours and tastings with guests receiving a tour of the distillery and an overview of the distillation process from one of the Spirit Guides. For special events, Dr John takes the overview.

Woodfordes Brewery

Fur & Feather, Woodbastwick

Located in the village of Woodbastwick in the beautiful Broads National Park, 125 miles of navigable, lock-free waterways, Woodfordes Brewery offers regular tours. Peruse the shop afterwards or head next door to the brewery tap, The Fur and Feathers, a chocolate box traditional English village pub, with thatched roof and pond and great menu.

www.woodfordes.com

St Peter’s Brewery

Based at St Peter South Elmham near Bungay in Suffolk, the brewery, built in 1996, sits next to the picturesque St Peter’s Hall and restaurant. There’s excellent water quality from the site’s deep bore-hole and locally malted barley is used to produce a range of classic English cask-conditioned ales and superb bottled beers. Tours take place from Easter until the end of December.

www.stpetersbrewery.co.uk

Adnams Brewery

Adnams Brewery, Southwold

Beer has been made on the site of Adnams Brewery since at least 1345, but it’s only in more recent history that you could take a tour of the beer-making process. When you do you’ll be in a state-of the-art energy-efficient brew house that’s won awards for sustainability and has hugely increased its range of beers and ales, particularly craft beers. Their hauntingly-good Ghost Ship now comes in an excellent alcohol-free version.

tours.adnams.co.uk

Grain Brewery

Grain Brewery near Harleston opens its doors to visitors a day a month – enjoy an ale in the Taproom Bar after a tour of the brewery and a visit to the shop. There’s often live music and street food and dogs and children are welcome.

www.grainbrewery.co.uk/open-days

Elmtree Brewery

At this Snetterton Brewery you can taker part in a Brew Day, where you will help with all the procedures involved in making a full mashed beer. As well as producing a real Elmtree ale that will be ready to drink in around ten days’ time, you’ll learn about fermentation and maturation and you’ll get a Brewman’s Lunch and beer tasting.

www.elmtreebeers.co.uk

Greene King Brewery

Greene King is the UK’s largest pub retailer and brewer and is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is in the FTSE 250 Index. But that’s not what you care about, is it? Your questions is ‘can you take a tour?’ And the answer is yes. Cask ales have been brewed at the Westgate Brewery since 1799, and you can learn about their traditional brewing methods on a tour – and get to see the best view of Bury St Edmunds from the roof of the brew house.
