Drinks & Nightlife

This little brew pub is a must. The atmosphere is friendly and the beers are top rate. Quite a good destination for a walk. Check out The Yard of Ale on the way.

Shaun, the owner, has the best views of the beach all day long and the sunsets are amazing. He's fastidious about caring for his beers and you can taste it.

We love this place. Great music, friendly crowd and all for free (most nights). Open from 9pm to 2am. Good mix of people young and old. Music covers funk, soul, ska, reggae, northern soul, eighties, Motown, hip hop, new wave, disco, rare groove and so on. Sometime hosts live music and comedy.
