Prince Albert

You'll find yourself in one of those rare pubs that actually feels like a pub—no Instagrammable cocktails or craft beer nonsense, just honest drinking and eating. The Prince Albert sits on Cornwallis Street in the heart of town, close enough to the seafront action but removed enough that it attracts regulars who know what they want. The crowd's a mix of locals propping up the bar and visitors who've stumbled onto something genuine, which is increasingly rare in Hastings these days.
