The Sussex ars is a brill pub. Cheap beer, the staff are great. Never had any problems with them. The atmosphere is good, especially when there is a game on. I'd rather be there than in anyother pub near my house....saying that, i'm in the Sussex more than i am at my local. Give the girls a break, they may struggle with English at times, but they're lovely. And you can see they work really hard.

Thats a load of rubbish. Since the manageress barred one of them Geordies, the place is a whole lot better. They were nothing but trouble. It's a cheap pint, the atmosphere is brilliant, no trouble (well not now she barred him). It's still open later than any of the other bars around that area. Granted the staff had trouble with their language, but things have picked up. They are really friendly. The manageress is the funiest woman i have ever met. She's doing a good job in keeping us lads happy

if you can speak polish you may get served
why anyone would employ these people as barmaids is baffling

the Sussex arms represents an exercise in making money plain and simple.
the staff are ill mannered,untrained and speak several languages but not english.
the bar is cramped and over crowded.
and the atmosphere is poor in no small part to the staff
the pub gets better the further away from the bar you get with the ideal position on the seats outside with the geordies

THE WORST PUB IN LONDON , the only way your getting served here is if your one of the eastern block staffs brothers or boyfriend .....if you have to go sit outside with the Geordie fish mongers and the Yorkshire sparkies at least you will here a funny tail or two .....keep your ears open for kev ...the guy is superb

If anyone thinks this is a good pub then the Paterson Wing in St Marys Hospital is just up the road. The bar staff don't seem interested and if it says London Pride on the pump then that's what you should get. I have on previous occasions tried the lagers but I have had better. AVOID.

great pub for sports on tv and a late night drink
seems to be open until 12 o clock every night
good staff and a nice mix of clientele - locals,tourists and shopfitters all seem to mix well

A decent enough place, appears to be the only thing open late (closes at 12.30) around Paddington station that isn't a fast food joint.

Lots of tourists here. Decent brew, but tough to watch football with all the racket.

A refuge from the naf corporate pubs in the station.
Youngs beer OK and a good mix of clientelle - not too shouty

Nice friendly welcoming pub, not far from Paddington station. Would rather drink here than any other pub near the station.

Lots of regulars, friendly staff, great sports pub showing action all the time on the big screans.... good pub for a night out with the lads, ladies may not be impressed though... best of all... cheap... cheap... cheap !

...and quite possibly the campest barman in London! He's brilliant though.

Probably the best pub in the Paddington Station area. A friendly nice pub to visit every time I'm in London.

Haven't been here for years but judging from Stevo's review, it hasn't changed much...

Used to live in South Kilburn and walk down here regularly, always friendly and welcoming, a great place for PEOPLE WATCHIONG on a summers evening.

One of the better pubs in the Paddington Station area. Smallish square front bar and a tiny "snug" at the back. Satellite TV but not too obtrusive, good mixed clientele and not too touristy - has a 'local' feel about it, but the service is always friendly.

Oh, and the little blonde barmaid with the specs is gorgeous :-)
