Moving in!!!

Postby ali_nightingale » Wed Mar 25, 2009 7:56 pm

'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 :cry: )
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 _ _ _
