Can see the potential.Nice decor, la4he selection of spirits. Unfortunately it felt like we were an inconvenience to them because we came in a group and ordered as one. From that moment felt uncomfortable. Will try again in future minus the group. Also felt very cliquey However DJ Fergus was playing and he's always welcome sight. Great tune selector

Great little bar, got a bit too busy for us later on, but the people in there were having a great time. Range of ages from early 20's to mid 50's. Staff were great, very smiley and friendly. Mens loo was rank, could do with a check every hour.

Unfortunately, this is Camra's other new listing in the 2025 good beer guide. I have no idea why it's in: doesn't serve real ale (supercold keg beer only), music (if that's what you can call it) was way TOO LOUD. Unfriendly staff, and generally highly avoidable.

I would love to be able to write a review... I tried to visit this bar last night but couldn't get into the building! I could see people in there and tried ringing the bell on the keypad which then told me access was granted, but the door didn't open. Please explain how I get in so that I can write a review and hopefully give you 5 stars instead of 1. Thank you.

Easily the best bar in Eastbourne no kids of chavs like all the other places, amazing selection of local and rare beers and beautiful wines and spirits.. This place is classy and attracts a lovely and older crowd. Top dj on a Saturday and live music. The staff are all amazing couldn't fault it at all it's now my new regular. Best thing in Eastbourne for years.

A great find for beer and alcohol lovers. A cosy and really well thought out bar. This place is quite empty when I came but very busy on the weekends with a DJ. I ordered a selection of the beers and it was great to have a selection better than the regular pubs. There is lots of seating and a really comprehensive drinks menu as well as cigars. All in all a trendy cool place for a drink and disabled friendly too. Will definitely be back.

Don't understand the one stars but I suppose if you're incapable of knowing how to order and appropriate behaviour at a pub/bar then it shouldn't be surprising... Anyway if you, like most adults do know how it's a wonderful little place. It has a great selection of beers which they kindly let you try a little before you buy. Large selection of some very good whiskies. I found the staff to be pleasant and are happy to help you pick out something you'd like. It has benefitted from the move from midway along the back of the enterprise to the corner. It's much easier to find, has improved facilities as well as space for live music. It's really the only place like it in Eastbourne and comparable to some of the good ones up in London. A hidden gem which is becoming a bit of a destination in Eastbourne now.

Had a date night here because it was recommended and we thought the photos looked nice so we were excited to give it a try. Location was a bit tricky to find since maps led us behind the bar instead. Can’t say much about parking because we live close enough to walk here. After a bit of searching, we found the entrance and thought the interior was lovely. Nobody acknowledged us at the door for a bit and we weren’t led to a table. The staff told us to pick a table. “You can do here or in the back”. So we led ourselves to the back and waited for someone to service us. No one brought us a menu for ages and we had to ask for one. It took us awhile to get the attention of the staff to take our order and it had us thinking that this was self-service / counter service at this point. I kid you not, they were just laughing and chatting away to each other with no care in the world. Mind you, the restaurant was extremely slow at the time we came in so there was no excuse for the inattentive service. The wine was decent I guess but the small plates were nothing special. We would’ve ordered another glass each but sadly not a single staff member checked in on us at our table so we decided to just leave. Yet again, we had to get up to get the attention of a worker and ask for our bill. This place potential but staff are too lazy and inattentive. It’s a shame that they lost potential regulars. Will not be returning.

I visited Ninkaci on a Friday night and there were only 3 other tables occupied so it was not a busy night. The staff did not give us a menu when we sat down, or even look at us for 10 minutes. I had to go up and get a menu myself when I realised they weren't coming. Two members of staff were leaning against the bar smoking e-cigarettes and chatting to each other for the whole night. I had to go up again, and tell them I was ready to order. The wine was nice, but not worth the wait and bad service. I won't be returning, and that's a shame as the decor and place is nice, it's the terrible service that lets Ninkaci down.

Ninkaci is a fine small and cosy bar with a very good range of craft beer both on draught and in cans, some of which are from Sussex breweries. CAMRA members like myself will be pleased to know that they can score a couple of draught beers as they are Key Keg. Also available is a good selection of wines and spirits, lovers of Single Malt Whisky will not be disappointed too. Very friendly and attentive service by the proprietors and the team make Ninkaci well worth a visit. An absolute gem of a bar !!

Very expensive, but good beer. We went with a small baby and we were made to feel very very unwelcome when we left. There were only two other customers in the whole place, but for some reason the management were unhappy that we had allowed our baby to crawl around a bit. We visited this place once before when it had first opened and the gentleman who served us was very friendly, but we found the ladies on this occasion to be quite rude, even before they realised that we had a baby joining us later on. I love craft beer but will never go back and will stick with the bottle grove which is far more down to earth. I wish this establishment good luck in the future.

I had often walked by the cafe and said we must book up to go there. Anyway, my wife booked me to go as a birthday treat. I was excited to go and see all the cats. On arrival for our booked slot we entered the front door and was held there by a second door where the attendant talked through a grill in the window to verify our booking. She seemed a little rattled and officious. We proceeded to be let through and directed to our table. After sitting down she was quick to present the rules and do’s and dont’s about interacting with the cats and again she came across as officious and not welcoming and friendly. By this time I was already feeling uneasy and. Anyway we proceeded to order a drink and some food. This arrived swiftly and was off a good standard. I had ordered a banana milkshake which was delicious. Having finished it a cat jumped on the table and proceeded to lick the residue of cream before I had time to move the glass the attendant angrily raised her voice in a condescending way, said “could you keep the cat away from that as all cats are lactose intolerant” and huffed thereafter! We left soon after somewhat disappointed about our experience- and did it feel we were not treated as valued customers and because of the lack Of friendly service it felt a strained atmosphere and overall uninviting - we won’t return!
