Heartbreaker — Restaurant in Worthing

We had never been to Heartbreaker before, so thought we’d give it a try for some pre-birthday drinks. There were five of us, so we booked in advance. When we arrived, the security guy on the door was really friendly and made us laugh, which was a great start to the night. Once inside, we were shown to our table by a lovely female staff member who took our order.

I wanted something different, so I went for a cocktail I hadn’t tried before, as it sounded nice on the menu. When the drinks arrived, everyone else’s were a decent size apart from mine. Honestly, mine was so bitter and unbelievably small — it was barely a mouthful. To put it into perspective, I poured the free water they gave us into the same cup afterwards and the glass couldn’t even hold it. For the prices they charge, the amount you get is disappointing, to say the least. Even the shots we ordered were tiny — not even close to a full shot.

Service was very slow too, and there was no atmosphere at all, which was a shame. I had gone in wanting to really rate this place and had planned to stay until closing, but after just one drink and a shot, we decided to leave.

Heartbreaker definitely has potential — the venue could be an amazing place to remember if these issues were improved. Unfortunately, on this occasion, it didn’t live up to the hype. Maybe one day we’ll give it another chance, but for now, it wasn’t the experience I...

We walked past this place about six months ago and it was a ghost town. When we strolled past on this occasion we could see it was really lively, with a few people waiting to get in and a couple of door staff chatting to them. We were pleasantly surprised when we got to the door that both door staff were very polite, asked many in our party (4), then radioed through to staff inside to find us a table for 4. We were then greeted by a really friendly barman that offered us a table at the front where it was a little busier, but we opted for a table at the back upstairs which was still lively but easier to talk. We basically worked our way through the cocktails and chasers on the menu! There are pages and pages of classic cocktails (Mojito, Cosmopolitan, Pina Colada etc.) as well as the bar's own specials, each named after a song or phrase (Bohemian Raspberry [pictured] with an amazing Freddie Mercury chocolate topping!), but one of the highlights for all of us was the butterscotch chasers that went down perfectly (no burning or shuddering at the end with this one!). To top it all off all of the staff were really friendly and welcoming, and the music was great too. We'll definitely...

My new favourite bar in Worthing!

I discovered this beauty of a bar on my recent visit to Worthing. I was a bit dubious to start with as I was unsure what I would find inside the big heavy doors and curtain draped windows but boy was I not disappointed!!

I visited on a quiet Monday evening and I was the only one in the bar for most of my visit but that didn't bother me as I had some of the best cocktails I have ever tried served by the amazing Scott whose customer service and cocktail knowledge were second to none.

Scott took great care of me making me all the best drinks on the menu with plenty of suggestions and riffs on the classics. As cocktails are a big passion of mine we spent lots of time chatting about different drinks and our experience in the hospitality sector which made my visit all the more enjoyable and memorable. Thank you very much Scott! I look forward to my next visit.

I highly recommend this bar to any one who likes good quality drinks served by professional and friendly people in a beautifully designed and atmospheric bar. Anyone visiting Worthing or any locals who haven't yet tried out should definitely call in and...
