JB's - NEW STREET

Once known as The Horn of Plenty
"JB's Bar" - in 1960s was the Ocean Club, later Caroline's (still a club), run by John Bachtiger & Jock McGuckin, who ran various other venues in the area (Carioca, Tiroler Bar, Royal Stewart at various times, also Bali Hai in Bognor). In mid-1980s was acquired (leased, I guess) by Brian Downs, late of the Central Hotel, who remodelled it & opened it as the Horn of Plenty pub. Sadly, Brian died shortly after that, heavily in debt on the venture In due course, John Bachtiger took it over & it became JB's (obviously) Bar.
