Buskers Bar is a well-known Eastbourne live music venue spread across two separate bars, just back from the seafront on Seaside. There's something on most weekends, with music to suit every taste across Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, plus cover bands and a Sunday acoustic session and open mic for budding musicians. Add karaoke, pool and darts and it's a proper down-to-earth local music spot that stays open late at the weekend.
