The Empress Bar in Arun

Friendly staff. Nicely decorated and we caught 2 for 1 on all drinks (we were there Friday at 7.20pm)

Great vibes from all the staff. Great night out even though full of students on the weekend

I was probably the oldest person there by some distance, which served to remind me just how old I am. But the offers were good, and even the toilet hand tissue tax thing wasn't a massive burden, but always unappealing.

Always been a cosy corner to end your night in harmony with the city's vibe. Popular in recovering your nights if you didn't get much fun, top charts pop music playing to keep you in the mood.

Nice pints, friendly atmosphere and staff especially the manager who made me feel very welcome as a lone traveller #AndreaRocks

Hostess was brilliant. The girls on the bar were very friendly. The outside seating area is a lovely place to have a drink.

The doorman was really friendly and chatty when we 1st arrived, unfortunately this was the best thing about this bar, avoid the cocktails at all costs extremely over priced and tasted vile. A half pint of Lemonade was £4.50 this wasn't actually a full half but think I was so shocked I couldn't challenge the staff. The music was good and the atmosphere ok, just a shame about the bars need to try and recoup losses suffered through the Covid closures, fleecing the customer isn't the way to do it though.

Went to have a drink in the outside area. Told to leave as I was wearing joggers, place full of people wearing shorts and casual dress. This was early afternoon, bunch of cun##. Proper attitude don't go there, spend your money elsewhere. Seems like they don't need custom.

We have been a few times and we have always had problems with the bouncers. Always being rude, argumentative and not allowing entry because of supposedly being to drunk when blatantly sober. Definitely will not be returning. Shame to see such a nice place have such poor staff.

Was honesty so let down, the bar staff were absolutely wonderful; bailey was such a nice fella, really made us feel at home same with Peter, lovely attitude. But the greeter is on such a power trip, to the point he swore under his breath at us, he was so rude and I was so disappointed. Won't come back.
