Fuego Lounge, Lewes

Standard Loungers Group place with usual garish decor, walls heavy with prints and mirrors, and ceilings heavy with lampshades. Usual corporate beer selection also, so nothing worth mentioning. These places can be pleasant enough when there are no decent pubs nearby, but in Lewes...?

Visited 23/01/25. Visited previously on 08/02/22. No cask. Typical keg range for the Loungers chain and comprising Cruz, Moretti, Menabrea, Hoffmeister Helles, Brixton Reliance Pale Ale, Henry Weston's Vintage Cider and the Old Mount berries & cherries cider. Typical venue of the chain although I would argue this one is slightly less ostentatious than other examples. The bar counter is against the right-hand wall to the back of the venue. Regular tables and chairs through most of the essentially large square room with some tall tables and stools in the area immediately in front of the bar counter. Being a "Lounge" the venue does have its fair share of big sofas and armchairs and there are a lot of framed pictures on the walls and light shades with tassels! Undoubtedly a popular venue in Lewes and obviously appeals to many that do not prefer the many fine traditional pubs this town has to offer!

Fuego Lounge is an open plan café bar with a serving counter that supports premium keg products in the right rear corner. There’s a mix of furniture throughout, including mostly standard tables and chairs with a couple of high benches in the centre of the room. On the path out the front are café tables. This isn’t my kind of place, but it was very busy with diners mid-afternoon on Saturday. The food looked good, the burger is priced at around £15. This isn’t somewhere I’d go just for a beer.
