The Best Pubs & Bars in Eastbourne 2026
Eastbourne’s pub and bar scene is unpretentious, welcoming and full of character.
The town centre offers a solid mix of traditional British pubs serving real ales alongside more contemporary bars catering to a younger crowd.
The Beachy Head pub, perched dramatically near the famous cliffs, is a must-visit for its spectacular setting alone. Along the seafront and in the Old Town area, you’ll find cosy locals with a sense of genuine community including the very popular afternoon tea at The Langham, to be enjoyed with a glass of fizz.
In the evening, enjoy a relaxed evening drink with good company and a gentle sea breeze or hit the town’s burgeoning late night scene at one of its lively cocktail bars or live music venues. Here’s our list of the best pubs and bars to visit in Eastbourne.
