The Coach and Horses, Soho

I'm afraid I have to agree with previous postings. Now calling itself 'Norman's', it's a vain attempt to cash in on bohemian popularity. Fat-arsed beer-heads and pretentious lap-top wielding media wannabees in suits; well it's Soho so what did you expect? But the current landlords are rude. I agree that this may be an attempt to perpetuate the principal characteristic of a former incumbent, but it just strikes me as offensive behaviour.

There are better drinking experiences nearby. Give this one a miss.

The Filo (First In Last Out), Hastings

Well worth a visit. Real ale brewed on the premises and it's not bad.

I found the locals un-friendly (not unexpected) but the staff could have been more welcoming. Like the best pubs in the South there is an increasing likelihood that you will be served by some surly tattoed youth keen to let you know that meeting you is the lowest point of their miserable life and that it's all your fault.

We are not worthy of them.

Keiter's, Hove

It's really a hotel bar so it's clean with good facilities. However it's expensive with only draught lager on sale.
The sofas are certainly comfy but their idea of 'chilled' music is just bad music played loud. No atmosphere at all but the barmaid was nice.
