Hastings Forum

'Hi' to everyone on this forum! I'm now about to move to Bexhill in a few weeks and want to say 'thank you' for the responses I had inquiring about roads, etc in the area. Now for another question_ _ _where are the best pubs /places etc for live music/meeting new friends _ _ _ I don't know anyone in the area and as I don't have young kids, won't be meeting other mums in the playground! (my daughter is 16 and won't be moving down with me )
My partner will be moving down after me (when he has sold his flat and also bought a flat nearby.)
Suggestions welcome? _ _ _

Most of the pubs do have the odd band. not on regular basis. It is not a very lively place. Really great place to live and work in (if you can find it) work that is. Although expensive some top rate acts on at del- a warr pavillion. Michael Newman couple weeks ago, AMAZING. Bexhill gets my vote

Not sure on Bexhill nightlife (is there any?), but Hastings Old Town is the place for pubs, music and plenty of people.

welcome to bexhill_ _ _its very quiet compared to hastings, in fact the old town in hastins is the place for live bands esp sundays_ _ _however bexhill is quieter but i love the life style as less riff-raff and lot less idiots in the town centre_ _ _

best pubs are_ _ _as follows..

the harp is nice for the quiter drink_ _ _.nice pub and nice people

the town crier looks abit local, but is a small and lovely pub and my local_ _ _.the staff are friendly and although it looks like a converted shop_ _ _its a really friendly and top drink

the devonshire is a bit more noiser but is good for a late drink

bar one is a younger place and they do a good happy hour GBP1.80 for lager or wine at 6pm

the york hotel is nice, and opens till 3am at weekends for you younger people and opposite a top curry house as well

if you want a lovely lunchtime drink, the terrace at the waterside club is ace, you need to join as a member, but great on the sunny day over looking the sea for lunch

the royal soverign near the station is more a regulars pub, i love it when the landlord is there as he is ace _ _ _often puts out cheese and snacks on the bar, and is a lovely geezer_ _ _..however , on a friday night if he is not there an attract the odd wierdo_ _ _be carefull

the mermaid hotel is ace for food , and lovely for a lunchtime sunny drink

there are lovely and nice places in bexhill_ _ _.dont be put off by the quiet look_ _ _..if you want bands and more atmosphere, maybe hastings is better_ _ _jump on the train or use taxi's ( you can get good deals_ _ _i get taxi's for GBP8 one way)_ _ _the old town hastings is great esp the 'london trader' for bands



what ever you want, you have it all local_ _ __ _ __ _ _

have fun _ _ _.and if you se me in the pub_ _ _mines a stella _ _ _
