The Eagle Eastbourne in Eastbourne

Great open mic night. Thanks for having us

A slice of Camden Town, in Eastbourne.

An excellent place to watch the football with Blue Moon, lovely staff, and lively, fun punters. Do it.

Nice pub, great background music, friendly staff and a nice pint of Guinness 👍

Used to be a great pub but seems to be lacking. They had no bitter on and the solely vegan menu wasn't great.

Didn't get food so can't rate that yet, just drinks, but staff friendly and nice place. Fun decorations. Someone really loves their pub it's lovely. Takes me back to the 90s with the baby dolls with tattoos everywhere. I can feel like an edgy goth again.

Good craic in bar, friendly staff and enjoyed a good night out

Took my dog and kids here for Sunday lunch - delicious plant-based food, kids entertained with board games available, and fab music playlist.

When in to watch the England opening game. Paid 4.80 for a lemonade. 😭 It was lame.

This is a superb pub. A gem. Really quirky decor, great, deep cut tunes, lovely staff. A lovely place to drink and chat. Love it.

Only stayed for drinks one evening after working in East Sussex. Good music and beer but the pool table, though free, was wonky donkey honky.

On a rainy tuesday we arrived in Eastbourne and were keen on a welcoming pub for a nice pint of beer. The eagle reached our sight and we stepped in. Here they serve different kinds of beer and play cool music in a welcoming and kind of spooky atmosphere. All the four different barkeepers we met were very friendly and up for a chat. In four days we visited four different times and enjoyed the good staropramen beer. Greetings from Germany Bavaria🍺

Nice pub, friendly staff, dog friendly. But a pint of Guinness £6.50, so so sooo expensive ! 😱 There was a pool table. You could feel the cigarette smoke coming from the garden when the door opens. I only stopped by with my dogs for a pint, however they have food, a vegan menu as well ! So nice 🙂 Pub music is rock vibes 👍

Traditional pub, good atmosphere and vibe. Irish barman was chatty and friendly and was quick to serve. Definitely will go again.

Great service and excellent entertainment.

Another great pub good selection of beers, roof terrace, great area for pubs

A very belated review, we had the pleasure to perform in the Eagle on a few occasions and each time bar staff were awesome, the bar actively promoting and supporting live music.

What a pub. The Eagle's live music nights are the best in Eastbourne, absolutely not to be missed. Management and staff are the most welcoming around, and will always go out of their way to make you feel at home

Once a good pub, now seems to be on a mission to play the worst music they can possibly find as loud as possible. Tacky decour, insipid atmosphere, the place feels as if it were designed by a 14 year old who just discovered alternative music. If you're looking for a bad time then this is the place to be.

No loo paper, had to ask for the Guinness to be topped up, it had dropped down to about £2.00 worth paying for air. One pint of that and one pint of lager £12.50. Music videos looked good but the soundtrack was not the same and was considerably more dirge like.

Terrible place, bloke behind bar (looked like a dirty troll skinhead) was so rude. Place very dirty & music way to loud, shame as it used to be much better.

Probably the worst place I’ve ever been to , hospitality is non existent, staff are rude bordering on vile. Used to be great , gone down hill

Great pub in Eastbourne lovely friendly staff...well worth a visit. Didn't est so couldn't remark on food❤️❤️❤️❤️

Only serves vegan food and might have some odd decorations around the place, but also keeps it unique, other than that great atmosphere and music

As others have mentioned, this bar is slowly moving away from sports and into music. It's not a big put-off with me as the music, staff and beer selection is pretty good but it's a shame that they opt for no sound from the TV during sports games. I can understand the music/bands after the game but I think if they want to keep the pub busy on match days, they should look to put the audio on the TV and just keep the music inbetween/after games.

What a lunch! My wife found out about The Eagle having a 100% vegan menu on the Eastbourne Vegan Facebook page, so we had to visit and I implore you to do the same. We had frickles, cheese fries, loaded nachos, the kebab and naked fries - basically we wanted to try it all and I'm so glad we did. The meal with a soft drink for all 3 of us it was £34.40. Very good value. The interior is filled with musical instruments and our 2 year-old loved all of the various artefacts. He even found a bubble machine! We now want to return to try the hot dog and Mac and cheese!

Great pub packed with atmospheric rock music and voodoo paraphernalia and music to match Good selection of spirits and other drinks.. friendly experienced staff albeit perhaps a tad expensive.

We were recommended this pub by the lady at our hotel and we are glad we listened! Lovely, chilled vibe, loads to look at, and the upstairs garden even in February was cool, no pun intended but I'm leaving it in!

When I first visited the place I thought the prices were too high, but the decor was good. I went back recently and found they had reduced the prices. The staff were friendly and I'll be going back.

Nice boozer, good for sport. Staff friendly. Pool table could do with an upgrade

Really great rock bar in Eastbourne. Decent music and the food is really good.

Nice roof garden friendly barmaid, cool place man!!!!!!😎😎

Great pub, really happy to see an alternative venue in Eastbourne! Lovely staff. Definitely be coming back for some live music. Everything else is fab. Edit to add how absolutely amazing the new plant based menu is, omg, burger with chips for a 10er very cheap compared to other places, massive portions too

Used to be a great sports pub and venue but has drastically shifted direction. Great fun for bands and the like but completely neglectful of sports. Awful piped in music loud over the top of every game they refuse to turn off. Tvs often show a music channel the music isn't from. Shame they can't cater to both sports and bands. Hugely expensive as pubs go (essentially central London prices) as well which was stomach-able for the sports fixtures but not with the new dynamic. I wish them every success with the music scene as it's one of very few that give space to bands. However it needs to either embrace or ditch the sports it's a half way house on it and it doesn't work. If you like live music go if you like sports avoid it.

Don't bother going if you're not a UK citizen, they refused to serve me after realising I didn't have UK ID (even though I already had two drinks previous to this and am well over the age limit??) This is pure racism, like what the actual..? otherwise this would've been my favourite place I've been to in the area, great rock/metal bar... completely ruined by their exclusive policy

Great bar staff very attentive with pool table and darts board 👍

Wow, always walked by this place, it used to be one of those pubs that really didn't want to go in, but it's been transformed into a superb place, excellent rock music, nice array of drinks, good atmosphere and a full vegan menu of fun dirty type food, the guy behind the bar was so friendly as well, felt really welcomed. Will be back for sure.

Great on a busy night, playing pool in a busy pub is as much fun as it's ever been, and this is one of very few venues committed to keeping that around

Went there to listen to knocksville live and the staff and atmosphere was brilliant

Wonderful vibe, friendly and relaxed with excellent beer!

Service was spot on.. staff were polite.. respectful.. and quick!! No standing around like a lemon for ages waiting. Only down side is the pool table.. its awful!! Desperately need a new table. Other than that place was spot on.

Excellent bar, very cool and great ambience.

Got a crazy idea for staff at this pub and that's to not short punters , never fill the beer up to top and look at you like a criminal if you want it topped up (ale is dishwater and no choice) and don't get me started on shorts, clearly not filling the measure up to top with wine yet still charge ridiculous amount. Loud youths swearing and screaming and staff don't care! Mistake to go here when dolphin just down the road!

Check out The Eagle for Eastbourne's up and coming music scene.

Excellent for sports events , plenty screens .

Used to love coming here.(30 years) Not any more, 1 real ale, used to be one of the best pubs for real ale. Music was awful and deafening, TVs on a music channel not the same as blarring music. Such a shame you have done this to one of the last proper pubs 1😪

Good pub, decent prices and friendly staff.

Wow, if you appreciate incredible food, super awesome staff and top notch drinks this is the place for you. Until you’ve tried the frickles (that’s fried pickles for the uninitiated) you simply haven’t lived. Almost forgot to mention, the music is unreal too. Makes me want to move to Eastbourne!

Poor menue. Before Covid I liked it very much! But now it's not worth going there. Wake up! Get forward to friendly and entertaining again.

Has Sky Sports but refused to put a game on because it was not Premier League. Instead chose to keep Kerrang on. Would not recommend for watching sports

First time in this pub,will definitely visit again. 👍

Lunchtime pints whilst watching football on the TV. Nice atmosphere, great staff.

Cannot comment on food.Dinks only

Great Eastbourne pub showing the football, decent bar grub too.

Great food, very dog friendly, nice vibe loved it in there

Just stayed for drinks . Great atmosphere if you're a sports fan

Great little pub. Good selection of beers. Pool table and roof terrace although the weather wasn't kind for us lol

Nice place, lovely roof top terrace

Great pub good choice of beers and friendly staff

This is a sports bar judging by the number of tvs I'd imagine it gets quite full on special occasions like England rugby

Cool pub to find after doing the 7 sisters walk! The pub is near the station and can show sports. Overall a good spot

It's probably a good pub for the younger generation. As a 60+ age, I'm not comfortable with screens, speakers and a pool table in close proximity. Nice staff. Interior looking a bit aged but. Usually a busy pub when passing at times.

Nice roof terrace, but the inside of the pub smelt a little 'funky'

Love this pub and everything about it x

Lovely town centre pub, with nice sun trap outside area.

Great selection of beers, nice roof top terrace

Good pub for a pint and a bite to eat

Great pub to watch sports. Good selection of ales and beers if a little expensive. Still a little on the expensive side. However, the wrap I had was lovely. I'll eat here again and probably still have a couple of pints.

The staff was very friendly and helpful

Nice local pub with friendly staff and good selection of ale m, gin, and food. Also remember that the Wi-Fi password is EagleGuest ✌🏽

Nice little pub with a good selection of beers, great atmosphere and friendly staff. Only downfall are the toilets which resemble a swamp of urine.

Nice pub with great beer and nice pump clip decorations.

Slightly over priced but a nice pub with sports

Always been A great pub with live bands and friendly staff.

Nice pub in proper English style

Went to this pub specifically to watch the 6 nations rugby. The pub is festooned with banners advertising the 6 nations games. My first question to the staff on entering the pub was 'Are you showing the rugby match today?', to which I received the reply 'Oh yes!' Excellent I thought (incorrectly). Kick off time came and went, still showing the crappy football....The three girls behind the bar had no clue how to switch the system to ITV in order to show the rugby! You thought they would have tried earlier in the day instead of waiting till kickoff time. Other customers were also waiting to see it. I left and went elsewhere (where the rugby was being shown, and the beer was a lot cheaper). Not recommended if you want to watch rubgy :(

Nice pub, plenty of local beer from East Sussex on tap. A bit pricey though!

Buzzing atmosphere. Friendly staff and customers. Visited New Years Eve when the live band were playing and stayed till time. The Eagle was the best pub we visited that evening.

Great Atmosphere and great selection of booze

Enjoyable pub friendly staff & nice pint

Lovely pub with a real fireplace

Went to see rooster trail great atmosphere.

Nice place good choice of beers and nice staff

Bar person was lovely and welcoming, roof garden was a lovely place to relax with friends and a drink. Definitely going back

Great food (vegan options) and a good pint

Vert nice pub, you can sit on the sun deck and have a beer. Dog friendly

Friendly pub, cheap pool table. Kid friendly.

Nice sun terrace on first floor.

Nice looking pub and good service but food was really poor.

Lovely place with friendly staff.

This is a fun pub. Good beer choice and a nice little terrace. It is a ore a drinking pub than foodie pub. But still a great choice in the town

Lovely pub.and has a sweet dog there

Lovely pub, decent selection of beers, nice roof terrace and there’s the odd dog wandering about too which is always a bonus.

Everything on sale here is overpriced, the food is substandard. The staff here do not accept valid identification if they feel like it, or if you present a foreign I.d.

Seems like a very nice pub. It's unfortunately very overpriced, food isn't great, and the staff were wrongly advised by management not to accept valid forms of identification with no explanation. Don't go there if you are young or foreign.

I love the atmosphere there, nice staff too. I go often for drinks, it's a bit expensive I think, 2 double gun tonic for £17. Never tried the food though

Nice ..but no wheelchair access considerably difficult bringing my 89 year old mum in

Went for an evening drink with the boyfriend, seems like a very nice place. we did love the terraced area above very good for people watching 😁

Perfect venue for watching sport, friendly staff and good selection of beers and gin

They manage to balance several needs in one pub....sports crowd, family food yet lively at night with decent bands and acts. Very young team but well run. Decent range of beers n beverages, One of the must visit places in Eastbourne.
