Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Marine

Narrow-fronted pub, with an elongated bar squeezed in between a few side tables supplementing those in the slightly wider area at the front and conservatory restaurant at the back. Plenty of decor, but no obvious nautical theme. Rear patio beer garden. Reasonable bar food menu. Friendly atmosphere. Pride, Abbot and some very respectable Harveys available from three of four handpumps in operation.

Really good pub just of the seafront with a good mix of locals and tourist's, gaffer very
friendly. A good choice of drinks, how'ever this is not the cheapest pub in Eastbourne but very
friendly and relaxing, it was also ideal for me as I was staying only a few doors away.

I'll give it a 3 because the seating was comfortable!Dreadfully overpriced drinks. Didn't eat but menu looked expensive. The ale was not well kept and coupled with less than friendly service make this a place not to linger in.

I popped in here a couple of times over the Christmas period and I have to mention the decorations. The whole of the interior disappeared and was replaced with fairy lights, baubles and tinsel. The kids loved it, but after a few pints of Abbot I became quite disorientated! Apparently they have been doing it for a number of years and it has become a tradition that the local press have now picked up on. It's just a shame that the pub was only open from 12 until 2 on Christmas Day and not at all on Boxing Day.

The front of the pub feels like a hotel lounge and the conservatory at the rear is more of a dining area which leads to a small paved beer garden at the rear. The bar area in the centre is pleasant enough, but it can be difficult to find a seat as this is one of the more popular pubs in the area.

I will return here time and time again as it is the father-in-laws local.

I agree with most of the comments on here that this is a very good pub with a friendly landlord and even friendlier barman. It's a big pub with a hotel feel at the front, pub feel in the smaller centre and a conservatory used as a dining area at the back. The front of the pub is on the main road (Seaside) and the rear paved seating area leads to a backstreet full of B&Bs.

3 real ales were available and some bog standard lagers, but there was an extensive selection of spirits and cocktails. I felt that the food was more about quantity than quality, but this is a pub not a restaurant.

Next time I'm in Eastbourne I'll definitely revisit here although I should mention that the pub is closed from 14.30 until 18:00 everyday except Sunday.

Impressive bar presentation leads to conservatory-like area, then paved beer garden. Harveys was fine, lots of specials on individual blackboard plaques which sounded good but not cheap (eg half shoulder of lamb £13.95).
Imagine it has a good mix of locals & visitors.
