Ritual is an independent neighbourhood bar in St Leonards-on-Sea with inspired cocktails, beers on tap, weekend DJs and a sea view. It's a genuinely small room — about 40 seated plus another 10 standing — which makes it ideal for acoustic gigs, singer-songwriters, spoken word and comedy rather than full bands. There's a full in-house PA plus a digital DJ deck setup. Live music is a regular fixture: the weekly 'Sung By The Sea' showcase runs Thursdays from 7pm spotlighting Hastings and St Leonards' newest talent, alongside open-mic nights. The bar actively courts promoters and will host events outside normal opening hours — email ritualstleonards@gmail.com.
