Barnaby's Lounge in Hastings

Super friendly staff, great place and excellent live music most nights. 10/10 definitely the spot to go to in Hastings

Lovely place. We visited to watch live music with friends. Super cosy, friendly and welcoming staff.

Fantastic ambience, very friendly staff, delicious food and wonderful live Jazz.

Kalina is the hostess, and Barnaby is a top bloke!!

Great place really nice chill place great bands service is very good & staff work flat out make you feel welcomed

We just went for drinks and had live music playing, lovely place to chill and drinks aren't overpriced !lovely friendly staff too !Will visit again soon

Great place to eat and drink. We love it there.

👍👍👍👍👍 Great place to listen to jazz and do karaoke

Popped in for a drink on the way back to the station, a great place with a lively atmosphere. There was a live band playing, which was a bonus. Definitely recommend stopping by.

Went for a few drinks really nice feel to the place drinks price very reasonable

Great live.music venue, chilled comfy and welcoming

Pleasant lounge could do with some new chairs they are a bit rickatory , love the chandeliers very pretty . Drinks are a little pricey but I guess this is what a small business needs to charge as overheads are high in the area .

Amazing atmosphere, lovely, friendly staff, will be back.

Great jazz evening at Barnaby’s

Came in twice during our weekend, due to the solid cocktails, pleasant staff and civilized atmosphere.

Didn't have any food, drinks etc, grate drag show, should have more venues for up and coming artists

Another fantastic evening at Barnaby’s Lounge. Great atmosphere, fantastic music and a lovely space to unwind and drink cocktails with friends.

Visited for a pint,friendly staff.

Stayed in Hastings overnight and decided to try and find a bar with live music for the evening. Made the excellent choice of visiting Barnaby’s Lounge which turned out to be the highlight of our weekend! Cocktails were amazing and the band was exceptional and it was a wonderful atmosphere. We will definitely visit again!

We (3) had roast dinner today at Barnabys and it was outstanding. The food was delicious from start to finish. Followed by the fab 16 piece big band show too. Love the decor inside. Great atomphere and brilliant staff. Bonus points they are dog friendly and access is easy, even with a pushchair. Definitely recommend checking it out.

Just returned from a fabulous few hours in Robertson street with the big band, the street ca me alive what a wonderful atmosphere, menu looks great we'll definitely return very soon

Why wouldn't you love this place? You can drop in any time, and they are always pleased to see you. All sorts of interesting events, particularly jazz, but also art exhibitions and folk duos. Good wine, good coffee. Friendly talented local family-run, and round the corner. Defines to me why Hastings is a great place to live.

Delicious vegan roast from the new chef at Barnaby’s Lounge.. Beware of Steve the Seagull if you sit in the sun 👀

Whilst walking about found this place it was a nice place to go. Plenty going on there with lots of live music will visit again

Great atmosphere. Lovely music. Happy service.

Great staff. Friendly atmosphere

This really is such a special venue. I have become a very happy regular here, bringing friends of all backgrounds and ages, as well as being perfectly comfortable to be there alone. From the lovely, relaxed atmosphere, to the wonderfully friendly and efficient staff; from the exceptional food and drinks, to the outstanding music and art, this really is a magical place to treat oneself - my daughter even had her 18th birthday cocktail lunch there, and Kalina made the occasion so special with additional, and totally unexpected, extra touches to surprise her! These guys genuinely pride themselves on giving the best service and experience possible, as the warm hosts that they all are. Enjoy!

A wonderful asset for the area and an absolute treat for Music enthusiasts with a frankly stunning rotation of quality diverse solo and ensemble performers. It’s also a rare treat in that a venue that can be frequented during the day for solo excursions and meet ups. Absolutely worth a visit and highly recommended.

Saw the seagull outside advertising thought il come it and try some of the food.

Amazing staff nice warm place to have tea while work on flim set in Hastings defo come back again when not working to experience more of there bar

Fabulous service from Barnaby and the team ! Great, chilled and jazzy atmosphere with stylish cocktails. Thanks again for hosting

Had probably the best cocktails in a long time that this place The bar man was amazing (cem) Best cocktail I'm hastings bar far and I was aloud to play to the piano Highly recommend this place

Great atmosphere, friendly service and frequent live music. A gem in the heart of town.

What a gorgeous place. When we went it was live jazz night. We all had a great time drinking wine and listening the the music which was not so loud that we couldn't have a conversation. The Lady manager was very hospitable. Highly recommended this jewelry Hastings.

Delightful bar with a great atmosphere. Extensive delicious cocktail menu. Live jazz when we popped in. Friendly staff.

The food was good. The drinks bumped it up

I didn't eat there yet, but it is a really great place, oozing with atmosphere and fantastic music - spent a perfect evening there and we're looking forward to returning soon!

Nice cosy lounge. Some Jazz. Some Coffee. Both exceptional.

Morning coffee with a friend here. Good service, good coffee and good atmosphere. Not noisy, unlike many other venues: it's nice to have a conversation without having to shout.

A real vibe. Live band and great cocktails

We had a brilliant night here! World class jazz with Liam Noble on piano and Geoff Simkins on Alto Sax playing songs from their album ‘Lucky Teeth’. We didn’t eat so no rating for food. Hastings continues to amaze with the variety and quality of live music available!

Lovely staff, brilliant atmosphere, great beer from Brewing Bros (and wine and cocktails) and fabulous live music. What more do you want from a groovy bistro!

Didn't eat but staff and owner were very helpful and knowledgeable.

Visiting friends in Hastings on Friday night, greeted with kindness, great atmosphere. Enjoyed the live music (especially the sax!), and cocktails were great. Both staff members working gave really good service and would recommend to a friend

Amazing vibe and awesome staff!!!

Finally a place in Hastings that does happy hour for cocktails! They were amazing and I can’t wait to come back :)

Our Fav Place In Hastings! With The Warmest Welcome, Everyone Is Genuinely Lovely, Attentive And Happy To Be There. Fantastic Atmosphere. We Came In For A Coffee... Then Just Kept Coming back! The Coffee Is Exceptional, As Are The Wide Range Of Alcoholic Beverages And Cocktails. Service Was Second To None And always With A smile. Made Our Short Stay In Hastings Even more Enjoyable. Thank You #BarnabysLounge We'll Be Returning In The Near Future. #GoodVibes

Just walked past this gem 🥰 Heard live jazz on a Sunday afternoon…just like a movie scene 👌 Top notch

Lovely atmosphere and unreal cocktails! We will definitely be returning for another rainbow dinner!

Had a great meal on holiday with the family. Lovely service, great food, drink and music, bringing the family together. Will definitely come again and highly recommend. Thank you!

We had only just arrived in Hastings for the bank holiday weekend and we were ended up in this place by chance. Cosy and stylish decor and the staff could not have been more friendly and accommodating. The cocktails were delicious as was the live music. It happened to be a 7 course rainbow inspired menu (£40pp) that evening to celebrate pride. The food was great and we thoroughly enjoyed trying new things although for my partner the portions could have been slightly bigger. Overall we had a fantastic night (three bottles of wine) and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Hastings.

I loved the crepes and ciabattas

So friendly atmosphere, lovely smiling and professional stuff... amd of amazing 🍸 drinks

Awesome place for a drink and to listen to some jazz. It's like a little Ronnie Scott's by the sea!

Jus had a couple of lattes here. The best coffee I have tasted in a while.

We visited as we were passing. We had crepes and coffee for lunch. Very good food and service

Friendly service. Stylish and nice atmosphere. Cocktails were great.

Jazz Fridays with excellent wine selection and delicious nibbles, what more could you want? The red pepper hummus and the Spanish rose are a must.

Great place, beautiful venue, wish it every success!

What an amazing place. The best hummus I've ever had. Dog friendly and people friendly

New owners and opening night was great. No complaints just a great time. Nice ambiance with live music, seaside dining, delicious boards and cocktails. A great place for a stop in Hastings.

Bit disorganised, cocktail and music great but took an age to get

Delicious brunch with fabulous service. Can’t wait to return for an evening meal and cocktails 🍹

Beautiful little restaurant, lovely staff and stunning food ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Hastings has so many gems and this is definitely one of them! We enjoyed every minute here - the staff were lovely, the cocktails were fab, and the atmosphere couldn't have been better. The whole venue has been so well designed and we will be back many times in the future!!

Super place with great ambience !

Amazing staff, Jazz and musical music last night was fantastic. Cocktails were delicious and magical bubble cocktails

Lovely jazz bar. Owner and staff super friendly and professional. We visited during an afternoon for a coffee but would love to come back for one of their Jazz evenings. I hear their Sunday roast is great too, although not sampled it. The bar is beautifully decorated with great attention to detail and perfectly set out. You can enjoy the music downstairs or more quietly from the upstairs opening seating area. Upstairs seems perfect for a romantic meal together. Looking forward to returning for cocktails and a meal here.

Delicious food great service and real proper live jazz! I visited on a Friday evening having been a few times for lunch and I really enjoyed every visit. The menu is quality with a good choice of options including some vegetarian options every time I have visited. The cocktail list is superb and I have enjoyed many drinks including the Jack frost and orange and pomegranate margaritas. The food is cooked perfectly with service to match. Live jazz on a Friday night which I think was a special for valentines but is Jazz on Sunday's and some other nights. Reservations required to guarantee a table. And I could not fault the staff or service.

A lovely meal, friendly staff. Pleasant relaxed pace and a great price. Thank you.

So much promise, but needs a little refinement. A busy Friday night, but the operation struggles when busy so a bit of muddling through. But that's the business and you can't muddle through every week, so some bumps need to be ironed out otherwise customers will walk. Cocktails are expensive, but every one has a bit of flourish, with dry ice, smoke, or other unexpected touches. Get a cocktail and bring your camera. You'll love it, and won't regret the price. This is who they are, and this is what they excell at. But, they are also a restaurant, and serving food seems to be an afterthought. The menu is good - lots of locally sourced ingredients, and certainly better than traditional Hastings fare. There's cod, pork belly, mussels. A good mix. The cod and pork were good, but both slightly over done and under seasoned. But just on the edge of forgivably so. But service and food prep are sloooooooow. There is no reason a 2 course dinner should take 4 hours. None. Whatsoever. Under any circumstances. And it's not because we were having fun and lingering. It's because it took forever to have the order taken. Forever to receive the mains, forever to receive the desserts (35 minutes from ordering dessert to receiving it). And while the kitchen was busy, it's an open kitchen and we could see the crew were not rushing. Rather, there was a somewhat inordinate degree of standing about, leaving food on the pass under heat lamps, and an overall lack of urgency (watched a burger stand on the pass for 15 minutes waiting for its fries, then onion rings, and then another 10 minutes before its accompanying plates were put up and the food taken to the table.25 minutes to fill one order?? No wonder the kitchen was backed up!) A restaurant shouldn't be taken by surprise on a Friday night. That's when you make your money. But if you don't iron out those bugs sharpish, then pretty soon your Friday nights won't be so busy. And that's in nobody's interests. Will I give it another go? Definitely! It stands a chance of being a real gem in Hastings. If everything was just that bit smoother, then it's potentially the best restaurant in town. The decor is fab. The servers are friendly although somewhat inexperienced. The concept is great, and the food prices are very reasonable. It should be excellent, and I hope it will be very soon. But it's just not quite there yet. Promises much, just doesn't quite deliver, and at £40 per head needs to be a little bit more refined.

What a place ! Nice cocktails 🍸 👌 i will recommended 👌

Very enjoyable evening. ... but not quite 5 star yet.!

What a place! A gem! Beautiful place and the music l was taken back to the 1940. Cocktails ❤️This is secret to be shared
