Atmosphere and Decor

Pros:

  • "Close quarters seating arrangement was a positive as we met some lovely people."
  • "The atmosphere as well as the service was brilliant and a choice of some lovely bar snacks."
  • "Friendly little pub with an excellent array of beers from both it's own brewery and a selection of others."
  • "What a fantastic place. Quirky, super friendly and top quality ales."
  • "Had a lovely time at the Waterworks, there is a great atmosphere, gorgeous dog, friendly bar staff and fantastic beer."
  • "Fantastic pub with great selection of local ales, ciders, gins etc. Absolutely lovely staff!"
  • "Great atmosphere. Only went in very briefly (15 mins or so) for a cider and already struck up a conversation."
  • "Great place, local real ales, great atmosphere, very cheap too, anything you see is generally for sale, quirky and friendly staff."

Cons:

  • "Seating a real squeeze, but that customers are assured is all part of the fun."
  • "Quirky but interesting pub specializing in local craft ales and ciders. Pity about the tacky streetfront signage masking the historic building."
  • "What to say. Fantastic Beer and Cider in an old water pumping station. The pub sells everything inside. Old antiques to the chairs you sit on. A real gem of a place."
  • "Very friendly, small, cask ales. Beer was very nice, staff encourage people to make the most of the small space by asking people to be welcoming and share tables."
  • "A tiny pub with a lot of character. Some great local brews at reasonable prices and local pork pies and scotch eggs for bar snacks."
  • "Only had drinks and watched England win the rugby. Will definitely recommend to friends and visit this pub again soon."
  • "Nice atmosphere but I asked for a 0% larger shandy. I was given a pale ale with a lemonade ‘top’."
  • "Management shuffles everyone around so you're squashed in a space so he can get more people in, pure greed."

Drink Selection

Pros:

  • "Drinks prices are lowest I've seen in maybe 10 years and the selection is top notch."
  • "The beer and cider lists are varied and interesting, with the Waterworks beers being top quality."
  • "Never disappoints - highly recommended - quirk at its best. Selection of ales, ciders, gins hit the spot."
  • "Importantly it had an excellent choice of beer straight from the barrel, cider etc."
  • "The Waterworks is a micropub in Rye, East Sussex. It is a small, cozy pub with a friendly atmosphere."
  • "I tried one of the home brewed ales and was over the moon."
  • "Everyone's encouraged to socialise the ales included 2 from their own Waterworks brewery."
  • "The whole vibe of this place is 'This is a locals pub that makes everyone who visits feel like a local.'"

Cons:

  • "It doesn't serve food really but the pickled eggs, and homemade scotch eggs and pork pies kept us standing despite the delicious 8% cider."
  • "Although there was a slight hint of sarcasm from the barmaid when I didn't know what the difference between ales vs lager..."
  • "Great atmosphere, can't give the food 5 *'s as only had crisps but as good a micropub as you will find!"
  • "My beer looked like a sample of bog water but tasted absolutely delicious."
  • "The food was also delicious, and I enjoyed the cheese and pickle sandwich."
  • "Fantastic place to sit and take in the fantastic atmosphere of this amazing venue. £4 a pint what's not to like."
  • "Real gem of a craft pub with great staff and owner with a fine selection of craft beers, ales, ciders, spirits, and wine."
  • "Very characterful small pub that has a great section of locally brewed beers and ciders."
