The High Street and the area immediately surrounding it are where you'll find the highest concentration of pubs, bars, and clubs. This central area caters to a diverse crowd, with establishments offering various music genres and drink selections. It's particularly active on weekends.

Leigh-on-Sea, a nearby town often considered part of the greater Southend area, provides a more relaxed evening experience. Broadway offers a selection of wine bars, gastropubs, and restaurants that stay open later, providing a more mature setting than the High Street's main club strip. You'll find places with outdoor seating here, which are popular during warmer months.

The seafront area, especially near the Pier, has several pubs and arcades that often have extended hours during peak season.
