Went in with my partner on the Friday late afternoon for our first time to see the pub.
Looks shabby from the outside but was pleasantly surprised to see it was airy clean and
Ok overall. On the evening of the next day I decided to go in on my own (partner full of cold)
I found the music was brilliant and stayed for nearly 2 hours . Bought the barman a drink who I think was new to serving behind that bar.
This place has all the makings of a good gay bar.
BUT... Being a new coming to the place I found it VERY unwelcoming and no conversation to be had by staff. I give it 8 ratings ...for cleanliness etc but for friendliness zero!

Very friendly pub, unlike the other bar in town, HUSH, where they kick you out if you don`t dress like a D&G freak and you are over 25 years old!

well i dont know about the review below , i wasnt treated as a new friend , i was treated as a outsider when i last visited last week , me and the wife and me best mate were in southend and thought we would pop in to his old local , me and him were playing pool and sharing a cigarette in between shots , and there were two "men" i use the term men in its loosest sense , and all they did were bitch about us and my other half , how is this making outsiders feel like new friends or is that only for "gay" people ?
on the upside , the beer is cheap , but not very well kept , perhaps i had the first pint out of that tap but it was bloody awful and had it changed which the barman wasnt happy about , i dont know whats happened to this pub , this time last year this pub was the dogs danglies , perhaps i just caught em on a off day but who knows , i wont be going back to find out again

Hello there! My name is Ben Jacks, and I am (one half of) the manager of The Cliff.

A short message, just to let you all know that we are the only gay pub/bar in Southend, and that we treat every customer as a new friend at our venue.

The Cliff is going to have a *massive* refurbishment, very soon, and will become, without doubt, the most prestigious gay venue in Essex bar none.

Until then, we still provide an amazing venue, with DJ's every weekend, Karaoke one Thursdays, and a Quiz night on Wednesdays.

The Cliff really is an amazing place, with great patrons, and a pleasure to run.

All the best, Benjamin.
