The Dolphin Inn is one of the better traditional pub along the Hastings promenade, located on the other side of the street in the harbour area (or what's left of it) and its famous Fishermen's Net Huts. The "large selection of real ales", as it says on the marquee outside, amounted to four cask ales on tap during my visit. The pub is very cozy and "colorful", with plenty of memorabilia and traditional tools connected to local fishing spread throughout. There's also a small outside seating area where you can relax if the wind is not too strong on the day. Friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere, plenty of local punters about. Good for a pub lunch after a visit to the harbour area or Hastings Contemporary or the Fishermen's Museum, all of which are very close by. Civil prices, too. read more
