Lewes Arms, Lewes

but then again,
when the old crows weren't about, we gave it another chance and actually had a really nice time.
there was life around the 3 rooms, the fire was roaring and there was a really upbeat atmosphere.
okay, two pints for �6.60 isn't exactly the cheapest around the town, but going back on my last review, give this pub a chance, let it escape the bad name its been given.
a mile better than the commercialized elephant & castle down the road, but hey, theyre for completely different occassions i suppose.

Having been there on a weekend myself fairly recently, i now expect nothing other than rude and intimidating chavs to be 'serving' behind the bar, although a swift turn around is needed desperately.
No rush though, I wont be returning, I went for a pint and left offended, skint and embarrassed. nothing beats a first great impression eh? I'll be sticking to the Lansdown & the Ele

Lewes Arms, Lewes

Popped in the Lewes Arms and it seems even polite conversation is strictly frowned upon which being honest, I think that contradicts the whole purpose of a pub. I cant fault the landlord's manners and personality and hold the pubs aging locals responsible for Lewes Arms' downfall as they clearly oppose any movement into the 21st Century.
