• British • Southend-On-Sea
Situated near the seafront and high street, but far enough off the circuit to feel like a secret place. The Alex is one of the friendliest pubs in town and for many it feels like home. With a friendly vibe unrivalled in the area, it'd be rude not to pop in. Oh, and did we mention that we've got an Xbox with a stack of games and a SNES with Street Fighter 2, so you can challenge your mates for the next round!Head to our Facebook page to keep up to date with all of our events and offers.

This pub is a true gem - on a sunny day, enjoy the outside area near the sea; in winter, settle down by our real fireplace in the warm and cosy pub.
