Elephant & Castle, Lewes

Very sport orientated, with screens all over showing football, rugby and racing on Saturday. Having said that not unfriendly, overly noisy or unwelcoming. A choice of several areas to sit, and view, good beer range too which is unusual for a sports bar. Arundel Stronghold, Brakspears Bitter, Harvey Sussex Best and Old Rosie cider. Pool, darts and bar football in the side room. Certainly worth a look in on a Lewes crawl.

Good down to earth pub that has done the whole refurb, oak table, pub menu thing without losing it's character and sense of community. 3 ales and a cider on draught and they seem to know how to look after them. Good place to stop off on a crawl.

This is primarily a sports pub as there are a couple of plasma screens in the bar area and another in the back room which also has a projector screen, table football, pool table, toad-in-the-hole and a dartboard. There is also a jukebox with a vast array of songs available which are quite loud, but a little quieter in the front bar. The barman was very friendly and Harveys Best and Landlord were available along with a guest ale, Old Rosie, Guinness, which as good, and an array of lagers. The locals seemed friendly enough and I would make a point of revisiting if in the area again.
