Lord Nelson Public House

You'll find the Lord Nelson tucked away on East Bourne Street, a stone's throw from the seafront chaos but worlds away from it. This is the kind of pub where regulars have their spots and the bartender knows what you're drinking before you order. The vibe is unpretentious—sticky carpets, honest pints, and conversation that doesn't require performing for anyone. It's got that old Hastings character that feels increasingly rare, the sort of place that's been pulling pints for decades without needing an Instagram moment to justify its existence.
