This pub has a fascinating history. The building known as the Jolly Fisherman dates back to 1769. It was first licensed in 1834 and served fishermen and locals until it closed its doors in 1959; reopening 57 years later as Hastings first micro pub. It has an attractively decorated frontage and once stood right on the quayside. Historic black and white photographs show the pub's long-standing links to the fishing community. A quirky mix of furniture helps create a friendly environment with a woodburning stove taking centre stage in the winter. Seven craft keg and two cask ales are regularly available as well as seven ciders. The pub participates in Hastings Tap Takeover and the Old Town Cider Festival.
