This is now the White Rock Hotel, with a range of excellent real ales on tap. Don't be put off by going into a hotel or the somewhat sterile decor as it's very freindly and they pride themselves on serivng a decent pint.

When you're at the seaside and fancy a pint, how many of us would go into a hotel? Not many. Which is a shame. Hastings sea front is littered with so many grim pubs and this place gets overlooked. Four decent ales on the hand pumps, and over twenty local bottled ales behind the bar. With bar staff who know what they are doing, the place is welcoming and I for one will be going back.

I stayed here a few weeks back (its now called the White Rock Hotel) and was very impressed with the bar. As has been mentioned before, there were local 4 ales on tap (including a mild and a porter when I was there) in good form and an interesting selection of unusual bottles. As its the main restaurant for the hotel it perhaps doesn't have the greatest atmosphere, but the outside terrace is good and the staff were helpful. A very pleasant surprise.

Excellent beer! Four local beers always on. Best real ale in town, at probably the best price. Staff are so friendly, and the place has a really nice atmosphere. Great views from the outside terrace. Families, dogs welcome. If I was gonna be picky I would say the bar needs a makeover, although is 200% better than under the last management.

Excellent since it changed hands. Lovely real ale from sussex - not overpriced. Very children and dog friendly a really nice place to meet up and relax.

Now a four star non-smoking hotel - The White Rock Hotel. Excellent choice of 4 Sussex beers. Worthy entry in 2007 GBG.
|
Now under new ownership and being completely re-furbished. Newly decorated cafe bar has great view, and is very child-friendly. Hotel also has no-smoking policy, and charming staff. Well worth a visit

Sadly following change of ownership, bands and karaoke have now ended.
