The Eagle, Eastbourne

Steve of N21 left this review about The Eagle

Situated on the edge of the Little Chelsea area of Eastbourne we found this to be a very pleasant pub for an evening drink. As mentioned below it has a good ale house style internal decor and the larger room section to the left of the L shaped bar as you enter has a mix of seating styles from high tables and chairs by the windows to comfy settees by the back wall. This area has several screens which were showing a rerun of that day’s cricket World cup one day match fortunately with the sound muted as the number of screens is slightly overbearing and it is very difficult to find a place to sit in this section where you are not in the eye line of one of them.
Then the thinner far end has a pool table, the toilets and beyond here is a door marked Garden which actually leads out to a set of external stairs up to a rooftop patio area with five large garden bench seats which I would imagine is a nice spot on a fine weather day.
Still the six hand pumps with four ales and two ciders and alongside the ubiquitous Harveys Best in this part of the world were the more interesting Otter Funk ‘N Soul Otterfest, Fallen Acorn Brewing Hole Hearted and Hypnosis Pale from the Brighton based Loud Shirt brewing company. Between us we went through all three of these which were well kept and along with the cheerful friendly service levels from the young girls working behind the jump made this a good pub visit.
