The Underground Bar is a small basement bar on Ann Street in central Worthing which opened in April 2026. It was set up with live music, comedy and open mic nights as a core part of its programme, with a stated focus on giving local talent a proper stage. The room is intimate rather than a large gig space, and its midweek open mic is one of its regular fixtures.
