Not the most attractive pub from the outside but inside it as a long bar complete with a stage as it is very much a live music pub. They have a really good choice of ales and it's always busy, even though the crowd can be a little odd, as for the music I've seen some good bands here and some awful ones like on my last visit for the Hastings pirate weekend, but overall I will always check this place out when in Hastings.

We'd been told that the Jenny Lind was the best pub in Hastings and of the pubs open on a Monday, it was indeed the best we found. The pub looks bigger than it actually is from the outside. It has quite a large exterior but there is only a long, narrow bar to the front and a smaller room complete with a bar billiards table to the rear. Space to the right of the front door is limited by a stage area for the regular live music. The far left-hand end is taken up by the toilets. Walls in the front room are painted orange and feature lost of music posters. Background music was also playing during our visit.
The pub also has just about the most varied beer selection in the town. Regular cask ales are Greene King Abbot & Long Man Best Bitter. Guests were Downlands Some Little Thing, Golden Triangle Shenanigans, Three Blind Mice Sauvignon Pale & Three Acres Summer Stroll. That still left one spare handpull. Ciders were Biddenden's Dry, Ascension Purple Haze & Bristol Sixer. Craft beers were Greene King Ice Breaker, Only With Love Trip Switch & Pig and Porter High As An Elephant's Eye.
Bar staff were also friendly and knowledgeable, always the sign of a good ale pub. A CAMRA discount is offered.

My pub of the night. In the old town/high street and away from the crowds. A lovely street of mixed architectural styles.
The pub is a large front room, with another room tucked behind a central bar. That seemed to be the place where most of the locals were.
Lots of handpulls but I went for a Cider on handpull - a much enjoyed (and probably lethal for a session) Biddenden Kentish Cider. Found the night before in Rye.
