The Brewers Arms, Lewes

I love this pub, but I don't love the management on power trips! They are too quick to ban innocent people from their premises, while the guilty parties carry on drinking in their regardless. Kevin was one of the greatest Landlords in Lewes history, but I'm afraid that that title doesn't carry down to the women of the family. Very nice ladies, don't get me wrong, but they do have an issue with banning people! Fab drinks, fab atmosphere, fab people. Just bring back Kevin!

The Tally Ho, Lewes

Everything you would want from a local; sport, cheap food, reasonably priced beer, friendly staff, lovely patio area, good juke box, live entertainment. Brilliant

The Pelham Arms, Lewes

I was a fan of the Pelham for years. It was 'THE' place to go in Lewes. Live bands at weekends and the most fantastic juke box for during the week. There was a French chef in the kitchen who used to turn out endless fantasic meals every day. The staff always looked as though they were having the time of their lives behind the bar, all the while providing a service that was top notch. 2007 then came. The ownership changed and where they tried their hardest, if it wasn't for the girl behind the bar taking charge, the place would have been run into the ground. 2008 came by and more new people took over. They are still there now and just awful. They drove out that girl behind the bar and turned the fun, warm pub into a free-range restaurant. The live bands were stopped, the juke box was taken away and the only thing the customers were given in return was a gastro pub menu and some ridiculous 'world music' on a week night. Someone commented on the toilets before, I would like to add that the sign they talk of has been up since summer 2008! Are they really trying? They have driven away all the regulars and sent everyone down to the Brewers, which has now taken the title of 'THE' place to go! Congratulations on ruining a perfectly lovely, traditional public house.
