Bar Nun, Syresham Gardensback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Rumour over a year ago was that had it that Wetherspoons were going to re-open it. Still firmly shut.

Before it closed I went here twice.....both times I wondered why. Whilst I never like to see a business fail I cannot express any surprise that this place failed....yes the beer was okay, but to be greeted by a waft of stale wee from the gents as you walk in is never going to endear a place of food/drink consumption.
The people seemed to be afraid of each other- all sitting in their respective corners wearing macs (overcoats not computers), some with a wheezing dog on a piece of string.
Bleugh.

When I moved to Haywards Heath around one year ago, this was the most resonably priced places to drink. New years eve party of 2007/8 (Price of a ticket �15 ) the buffet was awful as was the band/DJ! They also, in the new year got rid of Amstel larger/beer. Not a great place to drink if you like your imported/fine largers on tap. Go to the Broadway, to some of the bars there you pay more for a pint but it is a good pint!! ( Peroni, San Miguel, Beck's Vier, Cobra, are some i've had!!!! )

What a horrendous little place. Awful atmosphere, incompetent staff. Was not in the least bit cosy.

Ive been going to bar nun, previously the priory, now for the last 3-4 years maybe longer. In the past it wasn't the greatest drinking establishment admittedly, but things are picking up. Every friday night there is live bands...quality live bands. Also just recently started, every saturday night is a resident d.j. The lighting, effects and big music screen gives it something different you wouldn't find anywhere else in the area. There's plenty of room not like your orange square or evo for example. The beers good, drinks are cheap...happy hour monday to friday between 4 and half 6. Things are looking up for bar nun. Everyone just needs to give it a chance cause there's gonna be alot happening in the forseable future.

If you can imagine drinking a pint in some very long and winding corridors or a maze then you can picture this odd bar. Ok for a quiet one but not exactly sociable as you can't even see anyone else in there, let alone talk to them

I usually expect any venue with 'Bar' in the title to be just another modern, overpriced, noisy, soul-less box full of people who don't know any better. Imagine my surprise upon entering and finding Harveys on sale along with Abbot Ale. And a very fine pint of Harveys it was too at a fairly reasonable �2.50. This place is fitted with wooden tables and actually has a bit of character. There is a pool table at 50p a game!!!, and a seperate room with a big screen showing football.
Don't get me wrong, it's not a great pub. It's just a lot better than most places in this area.
