Bar 42 is an independent, locally loved bar in the heart of Haywards Heath, built around a simple obsession, exceptional craft beer and carefully chosen wines.
It’s a relaxed space to slow down, catch up, and drink well. From fresh, small batch beers on tap to quality wines worth lingering over, everything is chosen with care. No noise, no nonsense, just good drinks, good people, and a place that feels easy to stay a while.
Our taps lean local, pouring fresh, hop forward IPAs from Sussex brewers who know their craft. Alongside them you’ll find crisp German and Bavarian lagers and pilsners, clean, cold, and beautifully balanced, the kind you can happily drink all evening.
The wine list travels further. Carefully selected bottles from across Europe, each chosen for character, drinkability, and quality. Easy glasses, special bottles, and everything in between.
Thoughtful choices, proper pours, and drinks worth slowing down for.
Fresh local IPAs sit alongside crisp Bavarian lagers and pilsners on our kegs, all rotating regularly and poured at their best.
Our fridges are stocked with canned and bottled beers from across the UK, from crisp pilsners and refreshing radlers to bold IPAs, hazy pales, smooth lagers, and rich stouts. A broad mix, carefully chosen, ready whenever you are.
Our wine list travels far and wide. Reds with depth from Georgia, Argentina, and Portugal sit alongside local Ditchling sparkling wine. Fresh whites and easy rosés come in from France, Spain, and New Zealand, all chosen for balance, character, and effortless enjoyment.
Our cocktail list covers the classics you know and love, alongside house made mixes with a little extra character. Familiar favourites, fresh ingredients, and balanced flavours, shaken, stirred, and poured properly every time.
