Still has AFAIK, so does the Stout House.
The Crown is worth a look from time to time, as is Piries and B52s.
Also the Queens Head has slightly improved in recent years.
Basically any town centre pub is OK these days.

So far I've been in Piries and The Anchor and they were really nice, thanks for the tips!!!! Might give the bear a go at some point. Went to the Sussex Barn a couple of weekends ago and didn't think much of it if I'm honest. I've also been in the Stout House a couple of times, as it's across the road from the bus stop back to Worthing, not hideous (and took £70 out of their fruity), but I can't say the beer was that great.

Another vote for a trip to the Bax Castle, lovely little place. You can't go too far wrong unless you end up in the Lynd Cross, to be fair. It used to be quite fun when you could watch the fights break out between the people spilling out from the Lynd and the people spilling out of the Green Dragon. Always good for a laugh.
Haven't had a decent session in ages in Horsham, but Mrs Grombleton hails from there and I spent a lot of time there with her. It's a nice part of the world, just the shopping side has gone to pot in recent years.

I dunno, it's not anywhere near as bad as Worthing, seems like very few empty shops, and Horshams council actually appears to have an interest in keeping its town looking as smart, yet pretty, as possible.

Oh, i agree - Worthing is pants for shopping...and for most things, really. Horsham over the years has been overrun by numerous restaurants/cafes/eateries and have lost some great shops over the years. Given the choice, i'd happily move up to Horsham (I did look up there, but Littlehampton was far more affordable) as I do love the town.
I was born in Horsham, but not so keen on it now, there's some great restaurants but the shopping and some of the pubs really let the place down, Swan Wal could be so much better
I think the shopping is far superior to many places (of similar size) plus a big John Lewis is going up on Bishopric. Compared to HH, BH, and East Grimstead it has loads more on offer

Another one to add is the Foresters Arms on St Leonards Road more of a country feel than town pub but it does have a reasonable garden for the summer evenings.
If we are stretching the boundaries of Horsham to include Warnham or Rusper then the Sussex Oak always has a decent selection of ale and the Royal Oak on Friday Street although avoid the Royal Oak if you are a lager drinker this is definately a real ale stronghold.
Kings arms is still open but not good.

Open yes, can't comment on the quality as I haven't been there in 15 years.

Some great pubs in this and the surrounding area.
