Longbeach Bar in Isle of Wight

Amazing views. Straightforward no frills menu serving good honest pub food. We had scampi, kids sausage & chips, southern fried chicken burger, fudge cake, sticky toffee pudding and chocolate sundae. Polite and helpful staff. Food appeared quickly.

Great views very friendly staff good drinks pricing and great food what more could you want don’t have anything to complain about

Good quality food, excellent choice of menu, friendly staff so nice we returned from a previous stay and weren’t disappointed , fab views over colwell bay

Longbeach has different opening hours that Tripadvisor reports. It is open Sat and Sun 12:00 to 10:30 and weekdays 16:00 to 22:30. Large selection of drinks at reasonable prices. A good pub style menu too. The best bit is the views with an outstanding sunset. Pleasant walks along from Colwell to Totland on a wide walkway. A slight deviation over the land slip. Well worth a visit.

We've been visiting Longbeach for 40 yrs! Great food/value, really friendly people & stunning views. Enough said!

We had drinks here as the sun went down over Colwell bay, the view was stunning. We really were lucky with the weather on our visit and I hope that we get this lucky again next time we come.

Lovely food, simple English bar type food but super value and very tasty. Great prices and a fantastic view! Well worth a stop. Great friendly service too!

Well I am going back to the glorious summer of 1976, We stayed in Longbeach Apartments in Colwell bay, The Longbeach bar did snacks and drinks and the owners daughter (who used to wait on in the bar) was called Annie. We had a lovely holiday in the apartments and Annie was always very chatty.

Enjoy the Views, Drink and Food. Enjoy the £6 a round whilst the Wanabees and ‘A’ listers are paying £6 a pint at The Hut. No frills but we love it.

Great value, sea view and friendly service. We were a group of 6 and enjoyed a leisurely lunch looking out towards Hurst Castle. Thank you 😊

We have just had a lovely meal at Longbeach bar, the food wsa excellent, the staff very friendly. Good value for money with a good menu

A great bar with magnificent views across the Solent with plenty of outdoor seating. They have a broad menu that caters for all tastes.

We had 2 lovely meals here. Reasonable prices. Good menu. Very friendly place. We’ll be back in September!!

A hidden gem! Gary is a cracking host and made me feel extremely welcomed! If you’re looking for somewhere to watch an incredible sunset look no further! The interior of the pub is dated however this isn’t an issue at all! A proper traditional seaside bar!

We had a great meal looking at the amazing views over the Solent. We were outside. Looking at the negative reviews, can only say that we didn't see any bother, and the owner seemed friendly and dealing with everyone well. The young girls waiting on tables were friendly with us, and you can't tell if someone is smiling when they have to wear a face mask! We enjoyed our meal and would happily go again.

I had gone down longbeach for a drink with my wife after a long day at work to see the owner push and punch a young man, there was also a lot of children drinking and not once did anyone ask them for ID, would not recommend

I visited this place and come across one nasty old lady who hit a young boy for no reason was so disappointed in what I see all the staff need to learn to smile and the food is so terrible it’s unreal........

The new menu is really good i highly recommend the posset and the chicken ceaser salad its a really nice update

Was enjoying our time inside then we were told to go somewhere else as we had pulled the curtain over to block the sun as was very hot , we said it’s quite hot in the window inside but very rudely told to just go somewhere else very disappointing as it’s the last day of trading for year so if you want at least a bit of feasible customer service don’t come here ruined our day and will not be coming back !!! RUDE!!!!!!

We stopped on our way back to get the Ferry to Mainland and came across this fantastic place. Grabbed a soft drink and some chips while watching the sea. Great spot!

Windy Day but made so welcome by Gary.Although very busy he would ‘pop out’ (with mask) to chat to friends, regulars, and visitors.As I said to you Gary - well done a Credit to your Parents and family and WELL DONE you!After all those years in The Gift Shop and now The Restaurant.Thank You.

this is a great place for a cheap but nice meal and the drinks are reasonably priced, lovely views across the water nice relaxed feel about the place, shame its not open more hours, most days it opens at 5pm to 10.30. shame as would be nice to have a drink during the day as well as in the evening.

Honestly this is a great little spot with a pub garden enjoying the most beautiful sunset views across the bay. it and its cliental are a bit “salt of the earth”/ old school butlins types, but is cheap and very cheerful. i thoroughly enjoyed my glass of prosecco (£4ish?) with complimentary/ ironic straw (lol) whilst gawking at the yaghts pulling up and people being boated to the famous & v posh “Hut” resto down the bay. The staff are really lovely. Went there twice with family (7 & 2 year old) around 5pm witching hour, when timing is everything and both times food served altogether within 10 mins of ordering (they get 5 stars for that alone). Ive had far worse experiences at many more high end places. Good selection of pub food and kiddy faves (cod gojons lovely, as was scampi). Adult portions a reasonable £9ish and kiddies £5ish. My kids loved the ice cream served in plastic charachter pots, v nostalgic for us too. I imagine it gets quite busy in the summer, so probs get there early if you want a table and quick kiddy feed. If you can over look overhearing the odd potty language from certain merry punters, you’ll have a lovely experience here.

I used to use the Longbeach back in the Seventy's when Space Invaders first came out.I went back yesterday and it was just the same as it was then, including a Space Invaders game still there.It has a better view than The Hut' that some people rave about.The food is basic and not too expencive so would recomend it for families on holiday with kids. It is like cafe food served in a pub, if that makes sence? The staff are friendly and helpful and it is children friendly as well. Not a lot of atmosphere, but outstanding views.Prices are very reasonable for the drinks compared to some ther places.Worth a visit if just for the view

So the decor is dated but that's OK. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. Very reasonable prices and the food is cooked well. Outstanding sea views and the most amazing sunsets.

A simple pub meal, had the scampi salad. Excellent value, nicely cooked and good friendly service. Was given extra salad in lieu of 2 items I asked to be left out. My wife had Cod Goujons and loved them. A welcoming pleasant bar with fantastic views of the bay

In a great location, but note limited opening hours. Only open during the season. Friendly staff and lovely to sit outside on a sunny day/evening. Rather dated, but don't be put off.

It is a very busy bar but despite this we always managed to sit outside enjoying the wonderful views over Colwell Bay. The staff are really friendly. Not too long to wait for the food to arrive. Good was good portion sizes and good prices - we returned here 3 times in the week we stayed. We would definately return here again in the future.

After waiting for 15 minutes in a que we got to the bar and ordered a couple of drinks and some food, gave our table number sat outside to watch the sunset, after finishing our first drink no food had come out I went back in and got another drink an mentioned that we were still waiting for the food(chips and baguette) and was told they were really busy. We watched the sunset while having our second drink and had now been their over an hour and still no food so went back in to ask for a refund. They really did not care and was not that busy. Lovely sunset best enjoyed with a bbq or picnic on the beach and save your money to eat some where else.

Love this bar, go there all the time when we visit the island. Yes it may be dated in appearance but I love that. Very friendly, nice food, and drinks are so cheap. Really is a nice place to go and relax and watch the amazing sunset. Who needs Cafe del Mar - Ibiza.

After a long and hot drive to the isle of white and a sweaty walk along the beach this bar was a very pleasant environment for a cooling, refreshing beer.

The longbeach bar gives great value for money. Food is excellent and well cooked. Friendly staff. Great views over Colwell Bay towards the mainland.

It's a bit dated inside but hey, has a nice friendly atmosphere, staff very nice, drinks a good price, fantastic view over the beach and sea.......visited twice just for a drink and enjoyed both times, deff worth a visit. Food looked very nice.

We ate in this pub a few times while down here on holiday,and although the menu is a bit short the food is not too bad at all just genuine pub grub friendly staff and a descent pint too you can sit outside as well with fantastic views overlooking the bay, nice on a summers evening watching the boats sailing by having a few beers.

Habíamos visitado la Longbeach En anteriores visitas a la bahía, pero sólo para las bebidas. Esta vez fuimos a cenar en una noche lluviosa de sábado.

Si alguna vez me encantó Crusos cuando fue allí y no tomada por chicos pijo, le gusta el bar Long Beach. Bueno sincero a personas que simplemente disfrutar cauteloso de la compañía de los demás. Buena cerveza y bien buena, un lugar a donde ir y no sentirse excluido.

Fuimos allí en 20 de junio 7. 45:00 con mi esposa. Cigalas Ensalada 9 libras ordenados y filete de pollo con ensalada de £6. A mitad de camino a través de comer me pilla algo arrastrándose en la ensalada. Al investigar más cerca era una cría. Cuando tomé este regreso al bar la directora fuimos ah! Un patrón regular exclamó sucedió antes y sucederá de nuevo, porque nunca se lavó la ensalada. No me ofrecieron y sustitución (no de uno de todos modos) de reembolso. No hace falta decir que "no es un lugar recomendado para comer".

Obtienes lo que pagas y que resultó a veces más.

Este está justo encima de la bahía con estupendas vistas al mar. Visitamos con mis nietos de 8 y 5. Simple comida de pub, el scampi que tenía era delicioso y los niños lo hamburguesas. Los platos estaban acabados y disfrutamos muchísimo. No puedo criticar el personal muy amable. Gran lugar para una cena temprano después de un día en la playa.

Very old fashioned retro 60's English seaside pub and I love it!!! Very friendly staff, family run and very well priced honest pub grub. Fantastic views over the bay, very child friendly and highly recommend

Awsome views, friendly staff, decent selection of pub style food and the best Scampi & Chips on the IOW washed down with a nice cool pint. #itsthesimplethings .. Keep up the good work.

Michael and I spent a week away at Longbeach, Colwell Bay on the Isle of Wight. What a fantastic place, wish we had stayed for a fortnight. Lovely people, fantastic weather, fell in love with it all. If you like keeping fit there are many walks and lots of cycling. Family run business and they were all wonderful, we will definitely be returning on our next holidaybreak. Just a beautiful destination.Barbara Childs

We used to holiday quite close to this bar/restaurant and used it every day .We recently returned to the island for a week with the grand children and decided to have our evening meal at the Longbeach bar .To my surprise i was glad to say that all was just as i'd remembered it .The food was just great and it was nice to see familiar faces and to be remembered by them.If your anywhere near this bar you must visit it ,it has the best sun set that I've ever seen and a great view across the Solent.A big thanks to Gary and his family for keeping (for me) all of my memories of 20 years ago still in tacked.

This was certainly a 'no frills' restaurant/bar but the food was plentiful and staff very accommodating. The restaurant was clean and very busy

As you come off the beach the smell of simple, yet tasty bar food hits you. A fantastic location allows you to watch over the bay, whether it be inside or outside with the many tables that it offers. Summer wouldn't be summer if you did visit Longbeach.

Popped into this bar for a quick dinner as it is close to where we are staying. Lovely view over the sea just as sun was setting. Menu not extensive but plenty to suit all tastes. Good kids menu and all very reasonably priced. Staff really friendly - nothing too much trouble. Lots of families there. Hope to go back before we leave.

Friendly and welcoming management make this an excellent spot to watch the sun set or boats in the bay. Had a couple of really fun evenings here meeting other visitors to the area.

We didn't eat here, but visited for a drink on a few occasions while staying nearby.The bar is quite old fashioned, but in a nice way. Spotlessly clean, staff very friendly and helpful and a really nice atmosphere.Drinks very good value and the views if you sit outside are stunning. Will definitely return next time we are in the area.

My fiance and I visited lonhbeach bar with our 16 month old daughter on our recent holiday to the isle of white from Scotland . Gary and his staff are very friendly and welcoming . The food was beautiful and the views especially the sunsets were outstanding . Very handy for us too as we were staying in the Colwell bay holiday cottages 2 minutes up the road . Will definitely be back to visit next year

This is a very nice bar for families. You have a nice overview of the bay, nice food and and a snooker table for kids and adults. The atmosphere is nice too.

Outstanding views, friendly people, good food. Only drawback is choice of beers for an ale lover such as I. Some craft bottles could remedy that.

Longbeach hasn't really changed over the years , the food is basic good quality food served quickly and with a smile . The views are fantastic and the beer good only downside is the prices have risen substantially in the last 2 years .

What a view from the beer garden sat in the sun with a cold beer can't beat it . The bar sells local real ale in bottles at a competitive price . We were made to feel very welcome and everyone was very chatty . Our dog was welcomed also he even found a playmate one of the times we visited. Would go back again .

lovely place to have your evening meal,good value for money.run by a lovely family,they made you feel very welcome.the whole place is very family friendly and dog friendly,well worth a visit .

The Longbeach Bar is fast becomming our "Local" for food and drink while we are on holiday. The staff are like old friends. The curry is my favourite, curry, rice, chips and salad. What's not to like? We always visit on our first and last night of our holidays, and often inbetween. Love it there. Best sunsets on the Isle of Wight.

Just had drinks in the evening food is cheap and cheerful wish we had stayed here a warm welcome and good customer service unlike the hut.

This is an excellent place to eat and one of my favourites. The food is cooked well and their is plenty of choice. Lots of room especially on a good day as you can fit outside and look out over Colwell Bay. My only criticism is that it should open all year round

The bar could do with updating as it seems stuck in the 70s, the food and beer are not too bad and very reasonably priced, £3.50 for a pint of fosters!

We loved it here!! Great value drinks,massive portions of food and lovely owners,along with the best view around and a prime position for watching the sunset.Just brilliant!

Great views out towards North Island! When the Sun is going down with a large Gin and Tonic in your hand and activity out on the water, nothing comes closer.

Family and dog-friendly. Staff are welcoming with simple food done well and served quickly. Gorgeous views across the bay - spectacular sunsets.

Okay place to sit outside for a beer in the summer. Owners like to argue regardless of customers being around. Didn't want to stay for food due to poor atmosphere.

Very friendly and very good prices for food and drink. They also have holiday flats there and the views across the bay are fab. The chips are smashing too !

Very good inexpensive hot food. Although it was busy about 6.30 pm we still managed to get an outside table to see the lovely views and didn't have to wait too long. Varied simple menu, just what we wanted.

Stumbled upon this place whilst out walking. Very friendly staff. Great value drinks. Food excellent. And big portions for the price. Really good service. Excellent views from the garden. A must try if your in the area. And very dog friendly!!!

Reasonably priced unpretentious bar food which is consistently good. Panoramic cliff top Solent views and reasonably priced drinks. We love it there.
