No cask. Keg offering of Guinness and the AF version, Carling, Stella, Aspall, Pravha, Madri and the Carling black fruits cider.
Sports bar, bare boarded with the bar counter opposite the entrance, up a couple of steps with the entrance area seemingly having a DJ pit and a drinking ledge with tall stools. After traversing the half dozen steps, booth tables down the left-hand side and some tall stools not seemingly serving any tables or ledges down the right-hand side. Pool table between the entrance and a large projector screen above the entrance with a few other TVs tuned into recorded cricket action with no sound that provided by a rip-roaring crowd pleaser pop soundtrack at a volume that totally filled the venue. Off to the right-hand side, is a larger carpeted room with another couple of pool tables, all in competitive use, and a lot of silverware dotted around the room. Atmospheric sports bar with a lot of sporting and pop memorabilia on the walls but too much distraction from the pool tables to settle down to watch the sporting action for me.

Jester’s Bar primarily advertises itself as a party venue that is available for hire. I’ve never really considered Eastbourne to be a party destination and stag/hen parties are seldom seen in the town centre. However, to my surprise when I visited on Saturday evening there was in fact a stag party in here along with three or four locals. The five members of the steaming drunk stag party hardly packed this place out, but at least there is a market. To be honest I’ve never noticed this place to be open so I was very surprised when I walked past.
At the front of this ‘party venue’ is a street level room with a table and a couple of chairs in it. To be honest I find this almost redundant area to be very uninviting. Up some steps is a split bar that houses three pool tables and five dartboards. Flat screen televisions are found throughout and Sky/BT Sports is shown. Standard keg is available from the bar and drink deals such as five Jägermeister for £10 are available.
This place is ideal for those that want to play pool/darts whilst watching football, but for those that like a bit of character in their drinking venue this is probably not going to be high up the list.
