Police are seeking witnesses to the incident, which saw two 51-year-old men from Peacehaven and Coldean and a 22-year-old man from Coldean get involved in a fight at The Branch Tavern in London Road at about 10pm.
The Peacehaven man sustained a broken cheek bone and a broken nose and other facial injuries. The 22-year-old man sustained a cut above his eye and the 51-year old man from Coldean has a broken nose, swelling and bruising to his face and eyes.
A police spokesman said while the circumstances surrounding the brawl are still unclear, there is no suggestion the men were fighting amongst themselves.
