The Stage Door, Eastbourne

Missed this one on earlier visit to seafront so it became the last of the day and things are a little unclear. Big pub, high ceilings, good choice of beers, had to rush off for train.

Scruffy looking pub with Eastern domes on the roof & near the Winter Gardens. Inside is one long room that is raised at the rear overlooking what I think is the lawn tennis club? Lots of signed theatre pictures on the walls. Some booth seating near door, the rest is wooden tables & chairs. The raised area at the rear has a skylight & chandalier. Sticky table could have done with a clean, but its a nice interior. 4 well kept real ales

If you are not keen on 'Harveys' then this pub is for you. A selection of real ales reasonably kept, with friendly bar staff, possibly the only pub in town with a good selection of beers from different breweries.

If you dont know Eastbourne this is'nt the easiest place to find, but it's worth the search. Good selection of real ales on offer, on my recent visit to Eastbourne I found this pub on a busy Friday night, they had a live band on but as I was only having the one here I did'nt stay as guy came round selling tickets at £4.00 asking me if I'm staying or not.
