Serious when it comes to fun in Southend, Caddies is a cocktail bar on London Road with a difference. With crazy golf as their unique selling point, head on down to a wonderland of courses and cocktails, as you get competitive, crack on with excellent drinks and familiarise yourself with a food menu of stone-baked pizzas and sweet treats in the shape of cookie cups and doughnuts.
Keeping things affordable is Southend bar Alex. A light and breezy situation known as a favourite amongst students and sports lovers alike (with both BT and Sky Sports on the television), grab a pint and take in the game, or head on down for happy hour where drinks reach more than great prices.
Southend bars and clubs are topped off by Slug and Lettuce, which boasts late opening hours on Friday and Saturday for your night out fix. But that's not all, as there are 2 for 1 cocktails, bottomless brunches and even more affordable food.
With its extensive drink menu and wallet-friendly prices, Revolution Bar is a top choice for affordable night out enthusiasts. Sip on refreshing concoctions expertly mixed by skilled bartenders while enjoying the vibrant atmosphere and lively music. With a bright and breezy garden for when the sunshine hits.
