Steve C left this review about Seven Sisters

I wasn’t holding out much hope as I approached the Seven Sisters as it is located in a building that looks like it was purpose built for the estate and could easily be mistaken for a community centre. After walking around the building to find an open entrance I discovered that it is located on the edge of some shops that include a Tesco Direct and handily for late night feasts a Chinese, an Indian and a kebab shop. Inside the pub there is a pool table and bar billiards along with a dartboard with a plea chalked up next to it inviting dart players of all levels to show their interest in joining the pub team which plays on Monday nights. The bar stretches up to the rear of the pub and there is another dartboard located in the far right hand corner where there was also a disco set up. I spotted some advertisements for live music every Saturday night and there is karaoke on the last Friday of every month. There are a few screens dotted around the bar area and also a projector for showing Sky Sports. There was a match playing during my visit, but it was muted and some background music was playing from the jukebox.

One of the hand pumps on the bar was unused, but Batemans Rosey Nosey and Harveys Best were available from the other two and there is also a standard draught selection from which I had a perfectly acceptable pint of Guinness for £3.35 which is par for the area. I didn’t see any food advertised, but bar snacks in the form of sausage rolls, pasties and pies were available.

This is not somewhere for the traditionalists, but If this pub was a little nearer to where I was living or if maybe the public transport in Eastbourne didn’t grind to a halt at 19:00 I would probably make this pub my local as I’m a big fan.
