Great little pub that hosted some great gigs for local artists, I would recommend to anyone visiting the area to come in for a relaxed drink with great people.

Full of character and characters. Low prices excellent friendly staff. A proper old fashioned pub.

The Havelock always had the worst reputation and few cared when it closed down for a few years.But I decided to give it a go, despite their being more security staff than customers, very naive of me.So I was told it was Karaoke, I went in, was told by the bar staff that it wasn’t but decided to stay, I spoke to one senior lady and she said she didn’t want to sing but asked for a song. I tried to find the DJ and he was at the bar, eating…….fair enough so I asked him about playing the song,,,,,,,,he seemed incensed and this drew the attention of the door staff who were outnumbering the customers……suddenly and aggressively, the staff removed me from the premises……as if they were bored and just relished the opportunity for some “action”.Laughably, you get better trained door staff who are not children, begging to bring this into the playground, The town centre is dying, the fact that this is opposite Wetherspoons says everything; it’s all about the old town where these small life nothings wouldn’t see the light of day, relics from another time

Love the tiles on the wall! I can do without the (too) loud music, the fruit machines, the ever present bouncers, and the large tellies. Beer is good value though, and this pub has a better pub atmosphere than the Spoons across the road. I drank Gunnesss. Price OK (£3.95), but quality so-so.

Looks rough but locals were really nice barstaff were really fit and drink prices best in Hastings proper pub
THE MAGICAL FORMULA
Easily the skuzziest pub in Sussex. Not a GCSE nor a single braincell to be found among the low life petty criminal clientel who frequent this den of iniquity. Avoid like the plague unless you fit in with the local riff raff.

Stephen Duncan

Had a couple (?) of beers in here whilst on a trip to Hastings. Staff were lovely, locals friendly and the drinks were well priced and served. Try it!
