Booked for bottomless brunch.....great food (1kg of wings 😍) and value for money ...drinks constantly replaced. Shout out to our server Couch, barman Chris and James and Darryl in the kitchen.

We were visiting The Cliffs for the matinee show and chose this venue, having never visited before, for the Bottomless Brunch. Wow, we were not disappointed! We chose Nachos to share first (which wasn't included in the brunch price but very reasonable) and have had this as a sharing starter on numerous occasions at numerous establishments but this was the best we (my friend and I) have ever experienced! YUMMY! A shout out to James the Chef for his attention to detail as usually the cheese, guacomole, sour cream is all in the centre.....this dish had it located in different places....sufficient for both of us....and better! Our server, Callie, was friendly and couldn't do enough for us. We had various drinks and got more than our fair share....when she noted we were running low she was straight to our table to check if we wanted another. Great! Really good value for money. My friend and I (who aren't local to the premises) have already said we will be returning (by train to Southend Central station and less than 5mins walk from there) to enjoy this Bottomless Brunch again in a few months time. Thank you to the team for a lovely experience.

I went into the Alex with my mates, I had a pint then went back up to order another one. They ask me for my ID. I’m the oldest out of all my mates by a year(I’m 19) they tell me that I don’t look like my PASSPORT photo. I give them my card and bank statements with the same name but they refuse to look at it. I’m furious. I’ve been going to the Alex for 5 months and haven’t ever had any problems. They told me to leave as it was after 7. I was very polite and left after I ate my food. I provided proper legal identification and was denied this is awful service and the manager on shift needs to be fired.

Used to be one of my favourite in town, good alternative pub with relaxed feel. Unfortunately recently the prices have risen (£6.40 for a cruzacampo/moretti) and cheap Tuesdays have changed to be student only which I feel alienates most their clientele, I only say this as I worry it'll move alot of people from the venue to find somewhere more affordable for a evening and we'll lose a Southend staple

Recently came for lunch, had the vegan option. Was treated like an idiot even though the staff didn't get the concept of eating plant based and only being able to have vegan options. I was talked down to by the barman and who i assume is the mamager. And the cherry on top was that my burger came with the bun upside down. Poor show.

Gone from dog friendly to sometimes dog friendly, if the new manager decides. How are you supposed to plan an evening out when you don’t know if you’ll be allowed or not. Kinda shitty. Should have been an email announcement if changing policy

Unfortunately, Stonegate are on a mission to ruin what was the best pub in Southend. Event pricing on an already expensive pub during the weekend, punishing people who have no interest in sports, and taking away what was a staple of Southend for many years, the cheap night on a Tuesday, which just a few years prior was always a packed house, but constantly changing the deals and making silly decision after silly decision, causing a rapid decline in popularity followed by killing it off all together might just be the nail in the coffin the place deserves

Upper management should be ashamed. This is / was one of the best pubs in Southend. The staff are lovely and as a whole the vibe is good, but upper management seems intent on destroying this place. The cheap Tuesday’s are apparently going. They’ve been slowly killing Tuesday night at the Alex for a while with change in deals / closing at 11pm (it used to be 1am), and now the final middle finger to the locals who keep this place alive, deals will now only be available to students with a student card on Tuesdays. For shame Stonegate management… you’ve killed what was an awesome pub… for shame.

I don't know what Stonegate are thinking. I will happily praise the staff who work there and I've always had a great time. I've been a regular for over 10 years and Tuesday was my regular night due to the great deals they have on. Even though over the years those deals have changed and not for the better. I've come to find out though that the Tuesday cheap deals will now only be available on the student card. Good job stonegate, you've just lost regulars and a good chunk of money due to this decision. As I said the staff are great, the company The Alex are under are terrible and just want to ruin a great establishment.

We held our Christmas Party here from start to finish was a shambles. We have had several functions here before in the garden. Either Stone group has gone down hill or management for The Alex is not attentive to promoting a positive experience. Communication was slow via email and wasn't accommodating to help with the venue hire for the function room. Our group payed for the Christmas buffet and what a disappointment a total of £1350 for a poor amount of food. This was frustrating to hear everyone in our party complain about the taste and quality of food. There was not enough served and then food was left over because the quality was bad. Apologies to the kitchen team as I'm sure they worked hard to serve but obviously they are supplied with cheap crap. I will say two staff members were amazing the girl behind the bar struggling to serve our party of 70 was lovely and hardworking and the guy who helped set up our room. However the door staff seemed to racially profile our Filipino and Nigerian staff we witnessed the challenge 25 by door staff which we appreciate is needed but visibly saw two young Caucasian girls not get ID?? and the young female manager could improve her customer service extremely hostile and unaccommodating, I get that she may of been busy but we deal with vulnerable unwell people and would never speak rudely to them as she did to us. This ruined our experience forever and we will never put our money to The Alex again.

Came for a quick drink, first visit, located a short walk off the main street between the train station and the pier. Service was very friendly and helpful. Drinks were nice and reasonably priced. The venue itself is brilliant, great size, outside is large with covered seating and open seating as well. I can imagine it gets very busy in the evenings but we went just after opening time on a Tuesday so it was very quiet. Well worth a visit.

A shame to change my review but the bar really wasn't busy yet took a long time to get served and the staff were completely unaware of who was next. They seemed stressed and understaffed without someone available to change barrels. Not their fault at all, feels as though management has gone downhill a little.

All over this establishment, there are advertisements to download the app and receive a free rum drink. We had downloaded the app, spun the game, and won a drink which we showed to our server, and they refused to offer it, even after said server had apparently messaged the manager about honoring the deal. For our first time experience, you can imagine we were not impressed, and the cocktail and food we ordered was mediocre at best.

I have been going here for years and I enjoy it so much. However planned a night out to be turned away at the door by a young (female) with glasses security staff member who told me "I can't let you in because you drank in a car which is illegal". I was a passenger sipping some pre drinks before being dropped off for a planned fun night of karaoke at the Alex. I then saw her on her phone, then smoking a cigarette at the venue doors. I was in tears after this, I don't understand how security staff are authorised to look at me in a car as a passenger without any understanding of what I was drinking. She just assumed and there is no law stating a passenger cannot consume small amounts of alcohol as a passenger. I am so concerned at the lie about the law because if they are making them up, what else can they decide if they are altering the law?! I am really upset and cried so much because I was made to feel like a criminal for having two sips of drink (with a lot of mixer!!!) before a night out in a private vehicle. What about rented limousines where champagne is drank from the back seats?! I don't understand how laws can be made up and unfairly enforced. The security staff kept staring at me while I cried in the car and made me feel so intimidated; I am worried to go back. I have had people fall on me from being too drunk, spike drinks, smash glasses in front of me at the Alex and that seems to be allowed as they were not told to leave. But I was watched from a distance outside and targeted for something done in a parked car as a passenger. It is deeply concerning that people are targeted for made up laws by staff in a position of power here.

I’m disgusted with staff behaviour. Rude arrogant member trying to throw his weight around. Told me pub was closed despite people still drinking on another table. No fair warning of time to drink up. Served a drink at 10.45 pm at the bar. Shouting we are closed straight after But no bell for 20mins drinking up time. When questioned about my obligatory time to finish my recently purchased beverage I was told they are closed and a female member of staff snatched the drink out my hand! Won’t be coming back as I was told I am barred ! Little did the staff know I was engaging in a write up for the good pub guide 2024

2 diners , each ordered a chicken dish and I swear they split 1 breast between 2 dishes and made then both as tough as boots. Skin on fries were not, just frozen fries. Dressed salad was not dressed. Onion "rings" were just 1 onion ring. And the drinks bill was£10.05 for a pint and a small non alcoholic beer. Just really disappointed.

Let me be honest it's not what it once was. It used to be booming with a better menu and clientele. However that may just be me getting old. The menu still needs some work and it a bit on the pricey side for what it is with exception to the breakfast/brunch menu. Service is hit or miss but never rude. I can see they are trying to do new stuff such as comedy nights which are very good and the student Tuesdays are still a staple! Overall it's still a safe environment for anyone who wants a night out and the riff raff is avoided!

very unwelcoming and unpleasant blonde woman behind the bar. this used to be a very upbeat, friendly place, that me and my group of friends would regularly go to. however i will not be coming here again. EDIT: i actually did wind up coming here again. and i had a much better experience, surprisingly enough. in regard to the response (not sure whether it is still visible), but it seems like the original girl who served me was perhaps having a bad day, as i had no issues with my ID this time around. I was served by Ruby, primarily, on the upstairs bar and she was an absolutely phenomenal bartender the entire night. there are a lot of lovely staff here, so i have updated my prior rating from a 2/5 to a 4/5. would definitely have been 5*'s had i not have had the previous bad experience (:

I have noticed a lot of people sitting in there and eating food bought from outside of the coffee shop, for example I saw someone eating Gregg's products in there, and then another person eating a meal deal from somewhere else... Which is a bit wrong because Nero's sell food.

Had brunch. Lovely welcoming vibe. For various reasons, I was very stressed when I entered. Didn't take long to unwind and enjoy some lovely food. Will definitely visit again.
