I've always got on with the staff here (except Paddy obviously) and am surprised at a couple of bad reviews. Great food, top music and general good atmosphere.
Fantastic food in a cool laid back venue... superb value lunchtime menu.... everyone was happy...even the kids....
My go to bar in Hastings -
Dragon Bar is a rustic bar, situated in the old town of Hastings, offering a great selection of drinks and a variety of food options on the menus from small plates and large plates.
Dragon Bar hip, and edgy restaurant bar, with fresh and vibrant food options. With a tiny kitchen pumping out great options on the menu it is one of the better places to have a eat out in Hastings. Or a place to relax for drinks.
It is on the rather more expensive a sides for a Resturant / bar in Hastings, however we’ll worth the price point. The bar is very scenic and has a good atmosphere.
It is on the more causal side , being dog friendly, and more chill service to bare that in mind if you are expected top quality service. It has friendly staff but it is a more of a sit back and relax DIY order at bar kinda vibe.
Nice bar with cool decor and chilled vibes. Good smells from the kitchen and nice offerings of tapas on the regular changing menu!
Chirpy, knowledgeable team. Impressively great cooking coming from such a small kitchen. Excellent location, good crowd.
Great little bar at the end of George St before you head into Old Town. The service was prompt and welcoming. The atmosphere is inviting and chilled and the beer is great!!! Best place to get a chieftain and in a tankard still!!!
After visiting lots of restaurants and bars around South West in week prior to my visit to the dragon bar, decided to go there for some lunch before returning to work the next day. The menu was just how I like it, not too big but a good range of different things that aren't on menus around the area. I had king prawn tempura as a starter and was perfect, 8 huge, meaty, and juicy well cooked prawns. My main was delicious, steamed halibut, mussels in masala sauce with soft boiled potatoes, cauliflower puree. Was a 10 out of 10 meal, and staff were pleasant and helpful. Given the size of the place it was full of customers . Great for and great value. Photos are from Sunday lunch which was gorgeous, desert was out of this world and so simple.
Enjoyed having food here & the banana cake after was to die for … highly recommend you pop in..
Outstanding hearty food. Expertly prepared and plated/served casually. Very busy typically and may need a reservation to get a table. Small bar works too, but first come first serve.
I had the pork roast special and saw many incredible dishes pass my table: fresh l halibut, duck breast; mushroom ragu. Highly recommended!
(Update: I just read a couple of one star reviews on Dragon Bar. Pitiful...please ignore them!)
Had a lovely lunch here: good beer, good service and an excellent meal of pan-fried hake. Very good chef. It's sort of shabby inside (deliberately shabby-chic I think) and casual so my expectations were modest; but they were well exceeded. Music was good too.
We're a couple from Brighton, unexpectedly found this lovely place while looking for somewhere to eat on a Tuesday evening.
Beautifully lit, nice atmosphere, lovely staff. Food was excellent; especially the prawn bisque, fig salad and posh chocolate donuts. Would recommend to anyone locally or passing through Hastings for a quality but unpretentious experience.
Lovely food- small plates we had included local cured mackerel with celeriac, fish gougons in perfect batter heritage tomato salad with whipped feta classic patatas bravas- way above average. I recommend it.
