Dragon Bar — Restaurant in Hastings

While on a trip to Hastings, we were hungry so we went looking for a place where we could eat well and where dogs were welcome. Walking through the old town along George Street, we visited many bars and restaurants until we finally reached the inconspicuous Dragon Bar. Maybe at first impression it is not very exposed, but we boldly entered inside. And we already knew it was a good choice! Although there is no sign that dogs are welcome, we found a place right next to the entrance with a view of the entire bar from where we could observe the guests. After a while, I was already at the bar, the polite bartender offered drinks, I must say that everyone will find something for themselves, from a soft drink, Guinness beer, Staropramen, wines and cocktails prepared on site. The menu is not very rich, but as it turned out later, the secret of Dragon Bar is not the number of dishes. We ordered grilled bass, mushrooms on the toast, smoked salmon fishcakes and tomato and thyme soup. We waited quite a long time, but considering that we weren't the only ones waiting, we hoped it would be worth it. And it was worth it! The dishes presented in a beautiful form (it would be a pity to destroy this work) tasted amazing, truly heaven in your mouth! Mushrooms on toast were full of mushroom flavor, thyme emphasized the taste, garlic toast complemented the taste and the whole thing was delicious, a poetry of taste. Grilled bass fish served with rice and bit of trace created a tasty composition, fresh fish and ingredients ensured the unique taste of the dish. grilled salmon fishcake is real poetry not only in appearance but also in taste. I have never eaten fishcake served this way. And the tomato soup mentioned was delicious, slightly spicy and tasty, and the grilled bread with topping took the taste sensations to a different level. Finally, we had two desserts served, cinnamon apple tarte with soft cream and the second dessert was rhubarb mousse with apple, crushed meringue and biscuit. everything tasted out of this world. It was worth waiting longer than usual for such a tasty treat. There was a nice, relaxed atmosphere in the bar, the staff were friendly and served the dishes with a smile. If you are a fan of good food and a friendly, unobtrusive atmosphere, you must visit Dragon Bar! Thank you very much for your visual and taste experiences. We highly recommend Dragon Bar! Oh and one more thing, it costs much less than it looks! Truly...

I came here for a place to sit, a coffee, and to read and relax after a stressful week. A black americano was £4, which I know is expensive, but I was happy to pay it as the other places I wanted to go were closed, and I thought that the atmosphere would be as nice as it was last time I went. Furthermore, the cafe is a local independent business, and I don't often buy coffee so I can spare the expense. Unfortunately, the atmosphere was ruined by the fact that the bar staff started talking about me and how much I'd paid for a coffee immediately after I sat down, asking how I could pay so much and discussing how overpriced it was at unusual length. I was sat down right next to the bar, so I have no idea how they thought I wouldn't hear them. I couldn't relax or enjoy my time there at all as I felt judged and ripped off, and couldn't shake off my frustration that what I paid for to be a relaxing treat ended up simply in me being talked about behind my back, quite literally, the bar staff essentially mocking me. I will not go again, which is very sad, as last time I was convinced that this would become my go-to place to relax. I would not advise coming here alone, or as someone anxious, as the staff (a man and woman) seem to by wholly inconsiderate of other people and...

I had the pleasure of dining at Dragons Bar in Hastings this weekend, and it was an absolute delight from start to finish. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, with a relaxed vibe that made it easy to settle in and enjoy the evening.

What truly stood out was the exceptional hospitality. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive — not just in the usual sense, but genuinely engaging. One of them even came over to check in personally, making sure everything was to our liking. That kind of thoughtful touch goes a long way and made us feel truly welcomed.

From the moment we walked in, it was clear that customer care is a priority here. The team’s warm approach and attention to detail created a memorable experience that I’ll definitely be recommending to friends. If you're ever in Hastings and looking for a place with great energy and heartfelt service, Dragons is...
