About The George Payne - Upper bar area
50 Standing / Reception
33 Seated
The George Payne's Upper Bar Area sits tucked away above the main pub, where vintage armchairs mix with wooden bar stools to create the perfect party backdrop. We've watched countless celebrations unfold in this space, from surprise 30th birthdays to golden wedding anniversaries, each one bringing its own energy to our eclectic mix of artwork and quirky wall decorations. Natural light pours through the large windows during afternoon gatherings, catching the colourful pieces that line our walls. As evening approaches, the warm lighting transforms the space into something more intimate, with our patterned rugs and wooden floors adding that proper pub character. We can accommodate up to 50 guests for drinks and mingling, or arrange seating for 33 if you're planning a sit-down celebration. Our bar takes centre stage here, stocked with those ever-changing ales and craft beers we're known for, plus all the spirits and mixers your party might need. The chalkboard menus showcase our seasonal offerings, though for larger gatherings we often arrange bespoke buffet spreads that keep everyone well-fed without interrupting the flow of conversation. The beauty of this upper area lies in its flexibility. We've hosted everything from casual birthday drinks where guests drift between the bar and seating areas, to more structured anniversary dinners with speeches and toasts. The mix of plush upholstered chairs and bar stools means everyone finds their preferred spot, whether they're catching up with old friends or making new ones. Getting here couldn't be easier, with Aldrington Station just moments away and Portland Road within walking distance. Your guests can pop up from the main pub or use our dedicated access, making arrivals and departures smooth throughout your event. It's this combination of character, convenience and proper pub atmosphere that makes our Upper Bar Area such a brilliant choice for celebrations in Hove.
