The Drift In Cafe - Hastings

Lovely tiny cafe with live music. Not big enough for large groups as it only has a few tables, but nonetheless well worth a visit. Ordered an Halloumi sandwich and it was delicious. Very friendly place and the owners are lovely and helpful. Overall it's a lively place, great for socialising and making new friends and enjoying tasty homemade food.

I recently attended a private event at this charming restaurant and was impressed by the amazing variety of drinks they offer. The food served was a delicious selection, with gluten-free options available that were excellent. The gluten-free cupcake I had was heavenly. The restaurant also serves food during the day, which I believe would be worth trying based on the evening spread. The atmosphere was lovely and the staff were incredibly friendly. I highly recommend giving it a try, especially for the impressive range of gins offered on the menu. There were also many great drink specials available.

We had a fantastic party at this restaurant last weekend to celebrate my boyfriend's 40th birthday. Elaine was extremely helpful and organized a delicious homemade buffet and chili for us at a great value. We had plenty of leftovers which they kindly allowed us to take home. The bar staff were very friendly and accommodating, allowing us to pack up at the end without feeling rushed. There was a great selection of drinks, including a variety of gins. Despite the small space, it didn't feel cramped with nearly 30 people. They even let the birthday boy DJ for a while. I have also attended one of their DJ nights and found the people to be very friendly. I would highly recommend this place.

I was introduced to the Drift In by a fellow musician and friend of mine, and as well as enjoying playing here on their Open Mic nights, I pop in for a cuppa or a spot of lunch whenever I'm in the area not to mention going along for some of the other great music sessions that form a regular feature of the bar's evening programme. Well stocked, very well run, and friendly in an up and coming part oh Hastings not far from the town centre.

Located just a short distance from the center of Hastings, Drift In is a must-visit spot. The staff is welcoming and friendly, and the food and drinks are fantastic (they offer over 20 varieties of gin!). We have returned multiple times to enjoy their live music nights.
