Pubs in Worthing, West Sussex*

The place to go for a lazy afternoon, pub quiz or last call

You can tell us more about Worthing.

• rose and crown is a very traditional pub, the warwick, wheatsheaf, grand vic, lots around, some may let in under 18s but i wont say much about that...
• I can't remember the name, but one place I did like was rather nasty.
• Eden - opposite town hall open till 2 at the weekended, crowded, brash and for some reason really popular. Qu Passa (formerly the Toad) Same as Eden but seems to have a fair few less fights.Open till 12 thurs fri and Sat. Yates and Wetherspoons - cheap beer.... The Tangerine - Uber popular bar in the summer as its opposite the Pier - quiet during the winter. Barney's under rated bar - good ibe slightly older crowd 20 - 35 plays funky house on a saturday. Probably to sophisticated for Worthing. Vinters Parrott - open mike nights, live football good boozer. The Assembly - posers and chavs only, one to avoid - go to Qu Passa or Eden instead.
• Jb's crowd used to be to be so fresh fraced that they were still suckling off breasts when they came inside. But then, EVERY BAR IN WORTHING IS LIKE THIS! The only haven is spacebar. Thats if you like having unconsenting relations with a 25 stone 52 year women intent on taking you genitals off with her as a prize.
• The Vine in Tarring is a cracking pub with proper beer and excellent homecooked food. Lovely walled garden for the summer and they've added one of those big heated jumbrella things in the courtyard so you can go alfresco any time. The recent refurbishment has kept the character and atmosphere of the old pub but given it a bit of extra style - more women seeming to frequent now and some faces under fifty! I just like the crack in there, and there's never any hassle either - not suprising given the size of the landlord!
• The Grand Victorian is located opposite Worthing Station and only a five minute walk into the centre of town. The Hotel has 19 spacious bedrooms, all en-suite. Reception area. The Traditional Period Bar serves a range of real ales and light snacks and the Conservatory restaurant serves a range of traditional favourites all cooked to order. There is outdoor seating with a glorious array of flowers and shrubs to compliment the seating areas
• the new look warwick pub on warwick street is a storm of good looks.''NICE''
• All townies goto the Assembley on a sunday to play pool and talk about how fat their girlfriends are. Weatherspoons, where "job seekers" go to spend their dole money coz its cheap. Go to the toad and check out the doormans sideburns it looks like he borrowed them from Elvis, also check out the young barmaids recommended by What Barmaid
• Most of the towns pubs are the awful chains which are full of lads who appear to be looking for any excuse to fight and young looking ladies looking to cadge a free drink that are nothing special. Wheatsheaf is favoured by many 30 somethings. JB's is full of alternative types as well as the odd character or two.
• The Globe//Broadwater
• come to the Southdown - stella krony guinness smiths carling strongbow fosters blackthorn, happy hours weekdays 12 - 1 and 4.30 - 6.00. pool tables only 50p. Quality staff that you can have a laugh with. funny website check www.friendsreuntied.co.uk (no it isnt a mispelling) for recent info
• Worthing...pubs, LOADS! The main road leading to the gut of worthing is lined with pubs, perfect for a lunch time pub crawl to last you until 3am in rubberheads (see clubs). Though, watch out there's a lot of angry young men looking for fights :(
• The3 Jack Horner on a Thurdsay night has to be the best place to go in Worthing for good karaoke. The place is packed with a fresh faced friendly crowd. Highly Recommended. It boasts the best karaoke on the south coast. Oh yeah, nearly forgot it is a gay pub but a lot of str8's drink there as well.
• Litten Tree is now closed - dammit! I quite like the Wheatsheaf next to the library, quite funky without being up its own arse and a nice beer garden.
• the downlands - AMAZING atmosphere!!!
• Jbs - Every Thursday night is best. Townspride - good if your looking to get your head kicked in. Waterfront - Can pour your own drink there if you sit outside(just a suggestion, no one would ever do that though). Vinters - Crap service have to wait ages. Weatherspoons, Toad, Assembly, etc - Towny hangouts.
• Dont go to the Southdown! Trust me!
• The George & Dragon (Tarring) remains your best bet for a good pint, although you may have to run the gamut of the colourful (read: 'paralytic') clientele. Steer clear of the Vine if you value your palate! Shoddily kept beer; so many changes of tenancy, it'd make yer head spin. Horrendous redecoration has completely destroyed its atmosphere, too.
• the litten tree is a great place to go if you like growling, wasp-chewing staff, dangerously aggressive doormen and a crowd consisting of one old man drinking medicine and claiming he used run this town.
• George and Dragon....Tarring Village............a gem amongst pubs
• THere is a drop dead GORGEOUS bouncer in Worthing along the 'strip' - hands off girlies HE's ALL MINE!!!
• Oh for the days when you could find a 'pub' in Worthing. Now they're all just 'trendy' (Worthing wouldn't know the meaning of it) bars full of young people who forget that there is a world outside the town.
• yatesys - purely to oggle at the bouncers
• avoid all those annoying NEWLY REFURBISHED pubs they r annoying and old dank places r soo much better
• so mmany pubs..so little time.... i wish i could sit and drink all day... i do like the toad and cafe central the most though... (sarah Bailey)
• INFO ON WORTHING PUBS IS LAUGHINGLY OUT OF DATE! FATHOM & FIRKIN IS NOW THE ASSEMBLY. (STYLE OVER SUBSTANCE, MISERABLE STAFF) THE VITNERS PARROT HAS BEEN DONE UP(DOWN?) AGAIN. THE VINES NOT DONE A DECENT BEER FESTIVAL SINCE IT WAS BOUGHT BY A BREWERY FOUR YEARS AGO! GEORGE AND DRAGON STILL GOOD THOUGH. THE WARWICK IS NOW A 'TRENDY' WINE BAR (NOT AT ALL BAD AND CHEAP FOOD). YATES'S (A.K.A FIGHT CLUB) IS BEST AVOIDED IN THE EVENINGS AS ITS FULL OF *%£%!. CAFE CENTRAL IS PRETTY GOOD, PARTICULARY IN THE DAYTIMES. V. CHILLED.BEST TOWN PUB AT THE MO' IS THE TOAD. GETS VERY BUSY MOST NIGHTS, GOOD DJS AND THE STAFF ARE A GOOD LAUGH, BIT PRICEY THOUGH. (I'M NEVER SATISFIED!)
• The green mango just below the q club if you want cheap drinks, the toad or cafe central if you want some classyness. the assembly is too loud & plays rubbish music. The vintners parrot - used to be nice - just had a modernisation not bad now but it was a nice old pub yet trendy, bouncers are assholes though. feel free to email me: praiseme@lordjesus.co.uk & i could tell you any more info
• Also the vinters parrot is currently undergoing a refit to change the appearence to match there customers. just for the guys who don't know what goes on inside, a well time beergo with a guy I know called eddie (BINGO FOR BEER!) Also a games night, where if your good at mariokart or other games you could win a free pint! I cant wait for the new look!
• The Selden Arms.
• Cafe central turns Bar Central at night and is where you could start a night out. Kazbah and Paiges Bar are both right on the seafront and really cool in the summer.
• GOT to pay a visit to the Half brick pub, corner of Ham road and Brighton road, so its' right on the Seafront. James anj June run it, along with a pets corner of 3 goats, many birds, a chinchilla and at last count, 7 rabbits with many babies! Great for kids, got a nice beer garden too!
• Mango, Vinters, WindMill,
• No comment on Worthings grubs.. oh sorry Pubs!!
• Paiges, on the Seafront. Tiny place but has a brilliant DJ on Friday night, better music in there then any of the clubs.
• Again slightly biased but its gotta be Kazbah. Hare and Hounds in Portland Road is also well worth a visit.
• broadwater!!!! the best pub around not to mention my local
• Thieves is now Vintners Parrot, the Warwick is the Warwick again after being the Hogshead. My personal favourite is the much improved 'Downview' - its reputation is much worse than reality. The Vine changed hands about a year ago and has steadily gone downhill since. The Broadwater is a laugh if you remove your brain on entry.
• JBs on the seafront, always a laugh on a thursday night.
• Try Ye Olde House at Home - an authentic village pub in the village of Broadwater - immediately to the north of Worthing
• Jonesy's is now the Tzar Bar and Chapman's opposite the station is been rufurbished. So has Illusions, the night club, that is part of the same pub and is now called Illusions II. The Thieves Kitchen is noe the Vintnors Parrot.
• JB's is the best pub in the world ever...... I've never been anywhere else in the country where you can go out on a Thursday at 7.30 and be paralytic by 10pm on £5.
• The Vine in Tarring High Street is the best pub in Worthing. The Hogs Head in Warwick Street aint bad and the Fathom and Firkin is quite good too. Most of Worthing's pubs and clubs are owned by the mayor's brother-in-law - wonder how he got the planning permission!!!
• Inn on the Prom
• Maggies bar
• Jonesy's
• There is always happy hour at J.B.'s on a Thursday from 7 'till 8 (buy one, get one free) which is popular with those of the Worthing residents who don't use a zimmer-frame and complain about their hernea operations.
• Chapman's is a pub near the train station that I've spent many an evening in - happy hour from 5-7pm is worth a mention. It's recently been done out but has got steadily rougher over the last few years.
• There's a Beer Festival at The Vine pub in Tarring which is on late summer/autumn. But many of the other pubs are crap.
• Half the information you are showing is completely out of date about Worthing. Maggies is now called the Kazbah and is about eight times as big, the Wine Lodge is called the Litten Tree, and the Thieves Kitchen is also called something else, though I can't remeber what!
• The George and Dragon in Tarring Village is THE pub for people who like to drink without having to listen to tone deaf morons attemting to belt out their favourite songs at a karaoke evening. The food actually resembles food (which is not bad going for this town) and the bar staff are the sexiest in Sussex.
• JB's is the most wonderful pub in the whole world. It is dinky and fag-stained and really cheap and you can have drunken intelligent or meaningless gossipy conversations in there with people who are part of the furniture. I have live in Brighton, London, Amsterdam, Mexico and California and never have I found a place that is so welcoming, affordable and a bloody good laugh!
