Marine Bar in East Riding of Yorkshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We visited this establishment for food & drinks last Friday. We ordered 2 sharer plates, one of which was the DIRTY FRIES, they were soo delicious!! They were absolutely covered in yummy bbq sauce, mustard & melted cheese with the odd bit of finely sliced chorizo here & there. So delicious in fact, that when we revisited last night we decided to order two sharer plates of THE DIRTY FRIES. Greedy I know. 😜 However unfortunately for us, it appears that the owner was cooking last nite, so you can imagine our disappointment when our plates arrived & our fries were anything other than DIRTY. ☹️ The waitress immediately told us that unfortunately the kitchen had run out of chorizo, so the cook had used bacon instead. Which we didn’t mind, but surely they should have told us that before presenting the plates of food in front of us? But the waitress was so lovely, we decided it wasn’t her fault, & the bacon would be fine. But after eating the top layer of about 4 chips, considerably less chips than the previous week I might add, we couldn’t believe that the rest of the chips on both plates, were totally dry, devoid of any topping, just big fat some of then slightly hard dry chips. 😩 We called the waitress over, & showed her the dry chips & asked her what had gone wrong, was it a different cook this week? She looked rather apologetic at our plates & told us as previously the owner was in the kitchen tonight & could she get us any sauce that might improve the situation. We agreed to her bringing us some bbq sauce which was hardly satisfactory under the circumstances, but the chips were cold, as well as hard & dry now. So in future IF & it’s a big IF, I decide to eat here again. I will certainly be checking who is cooking FIRST!! Such a shame…

Order got messed up, the chicken burger that arrived wasn’t chicken but a beef burger, didn’t make a fuss - no-one came to ask if everything was ok anyway! Started eating to find the burger raw, set it aside and pointed it out to staff when collecting the plates. They agreed it was raw, then did nothing! Followed it up as we left and luckily another member of staff confirmed that a refund was due. Refund received but very poor service!

Very lovely food, we all ate all the food and enjoyed it thoroughly. I had the text mex sharer and it was gorgeous! Full to the brim

I limped in here yesterday (10th August 2024) having had a bad fall on a grass slope after which it took me 40 mins to limp 0.5 mile to get to the bar. I was in terrible pain. I asked at the bar to see if they could supply some ice and without any fuss, a lovely man called Chris went off and returned with a tea towel full of ice and let me rest awhile. He offered to fetch my car for me and also gave me a refreshing orange juice. He and a colleague helped me to my car and he gave me ice for the return journey to York (my friend drove). Chris was so kind and supportive and went beyond what anyone might expect these days! I've called to thank him today after a trip to A&E but haven't managed to speak to him yet. I want to acknowledge his kindness and obvious professionalism as he knew exactly what to do to help me! Thank you Chris!

We only went to the Marine Bar for some food. It’s convenient for parking good views and seats outside if you want and service and staff were very good, pleasant and welcoming feel. Drinks not cheap but we’d accept that if we had a good meal. Food was very expensive for a bar. They had what they called a Senior Menu at £10.95 which was the cheapest meal. One of us had the Fish & Chips & Peas. 2 of us had the Pie & Chips & Peas. What a waste of money, these were the smallest portions imaginable. The Fish when arrived we thought was a battered sausage with just a very small portion of both chips & peas. Our portions of the Pie chips & peas was just the same, minute ! Yes we are pensioners and the meal was called Seniors but come on we have as healthy an appetite as anyone and expect a reasonable size portion and importantly we had paid what I consider to be a good price so not happy as felt we were taken for a ride. We go to the Premier Inn, Cookhouse along the Promenade every week it’s absolutely spot on and you can get 2 really GOOD meals for £10.95 in TOTAL but sadly forgot to book a table so it was a toss up between Witherspoon or Marine Bar ! We made a bad choice.

I have been here several times before and will always go back. It is a lovely place with very friendly staff and good food. I went with my sister and brother in law on a day trip and called into the marine bar. There was a senior citizens menu so they had the fish n chips and peas for about £19.99 for both of them. Mine were £14.99 but an excellent choice. Will always return here on my trips to Bridlington. Super thank you. Anne walker xx

Really lovely place to have a drink and or food.staff really friendly staff delicious food and great sea view very clean

Visited here with my family just after Christmas. We had lunch and found it to be just ok. Portions were on the small side and sadly some of it was rather on the luke warm side. Dessert selection was poor. Doubt we will be back, which is a shame as used to visit here quite frequently. Not sure what is going, is this under new management?

Lovely atmosphere, music was at a level that was pleasant, food was good, Comfortable seating will go again in the near future

The Barman has a real bad and clever attitude.He carried on talking and 4 mins later decided to serve us. He was very ignorant. When asked for a coffee and tea.He said its 3.pm mate kitchen shut no tea and coffee.We thought well thats a funny system. Food has got worse over a period of 4 weeks. Cold and portions were so small. Today was the final sraw with poor food, ignorant barman.We certainly wont be going again

Had a lovely breakfast here, service was good as was the food (although my husband found the sausages a bit poor quality) but it was all about the location with the fantastic roof terrace overlooking the sea.

Went for a couple of drinks Wednesday teatime so it wasn’t busy we wanted to sit upstairs on the new outside area so before we could explain a very rude lady said yes go upstairs and someone will come up!! We waited 20 mins and still no one came up so we got up and left- when we back downstairs to leave the rude lady was stood with another member of staff doing nothing!!! Clearly forgot about us!!! the view is beautiful but don’t have it open if you can’t staff it!!!

This place has a great vantage point - but they're not set up to deal with the tourist trade.The number of people we saw and leave because no one would serve them would really worry me if this was my bar.One lady made a very polite complaint that she'd been waiting 30 minutes and received a curt response from the member of staff.We got a single drink in, had to wait a while for it to be delivered, then decided to make our own exit after that!Will not be rushing back

Coffee on this breezy April day on the NEW balcony at the Marine Bar overlooking the whole of Bridlington Bay. We’re coming back for ‘brunch’ a.s.a.p.

Friendly bar restaurant near on the prom covid-19 rules in place and kept up to by everyone in there meal excel and caring staff recommended.

Visited at lunchtime & very impressed with the warm welcome. Good systems in place for distancing. We had tuna sandwiches which were very good. My husband was happy to chat to the Manager who was a fellow Derby County fan. The real ale was excellent too.

Tues Sept 8th we decided to have a roast lunch at The Marine bar, having been there many times over the years and been happy with the food. In fact it was one of our favourite places to eat and have a drink. However, we ordered Roast beef and when it came the food was barely warm and served on cold plates. Maybe they hadn't even warmed it up? Usually we are told not to touch the plates because they are so hot!There was no Yorkshire pudding and even the waitress commented that they should have told us they didn't have any, when we ordered it. The potatoes were a strange mix of little Toasties with bits of bacon and something else mixed in?? The beef was very fatty. Veg (cauliflower and broccoli) cooked well but cold. Only thing on the plate that was steaming was the carrots!Usually the roast dinner is on their menu with a seniors option at around £6 but they only have the £10 option now.I cannot tell you how disappointed we were, needless to say we will not be returning for a long while, if ever!They didn't even bother to ask us if everything was okay. I should have sent it back but I just won't return - so they have lost a few regular customers.

lovely bar, great choice of real ales, super staff who were very helpful, social distancing measures worked well

The food was basic but very good and the staff are friendly. However we felt disappointed as, having booked online, we thought we would be eating in the lovely art deco restaurant, not the bar which is a little worn and tired.

Walked by so many times over the years and decided to stop for a drink. One way in and out. Sanitizer, screens and floor markings. Had a lovely hour or so sat on the pavement in the sun. Not the best views of the road and traffic. But felt safe with the measures in place.

Good range of real ales and reasonably priced. Separate entrance and exit. Looks popular for food as a lot of tables were booked for a Sunday early evening.

We visited this bar the week previous and thought how nice the meals looked, this was on a Thursday, I say this as the government are currently subsiding eating out mon to Wednesday so we booked a table for the next Wednesday, well what a let down I think the kitchen staff felt that being as their food was half price they could present any old c—p and they did just that, my stake was under cooked and literally chucked on top of a few chips, my partners was just the same but with items missing . We scored the experience 4 out of 10, one final issue could the young lads ( boys) serving behind the bar just drop the well hard juvenile attitudes ! It’s embarrassing. You need Gordon Ramsey in there to kick you all up the backside

Went here for an evening meal. Not great food and when they replaced peas for beans (as they had run out of beans!) No apology. It is what it is basic

We came here for an evening meal and my partner ordered chicken in a basket. She raved about it so much Declan the chef came to see her. Next time we visited all four of us had the chicken it is the best tasting chicken ever and Declans secret recipe is just outstanding so make sure you ask if he's on duty before you order. Well done Declan

This is a lovely bar for a drink and great views over bay.Unfortunately our first time food experience was not good.Pie never arrived,plate of potato and vegetables that were warm from the microwave at best. First and last visit for food.

Been going to the Marine bar for many years. 12 months ago we started having Golden Years meals and very nice they were too. Recently changed to pint sized plates which do not fill us even as pensioners. Quality of meal has not changed but to put it onto such a small plate I feel stigmatizes the older generation. Felt embarrassed eating from such a small plate, even a child might feel short changed. Smaller portions yes but plates the size of saucers not acceptable. We will not be having meals there again unless there's a change.

I have to agree with the last review as we visited today and they served the food on side plates! Maybe it is instead of putting the price up, less food instead? We always make the Marine Bar our first choice for food when in Bridlington and normally they never disappoint. However, whilst I enjoyed what I ate, it was far too hot and burnt my mouth. The plate had obviously been warmed up in the microwave and should be served with a Government health warning. Such a shame about the tiny portion sizes and the overheating of the plates. Excellent, friendly service and very pleasant refurbished venue overlooking the sea.

Great bar, real ales, friendly clientele. Really good location and nice views too. Missing the trees and lights though. Good photographs by First Light Gallery though.

Went in here a couple of times during our stay in Bridlington, Monday and Wednesday. Didn't eat here just drank, we found it ok, it's a locals pub but there friendly enough after the initial stares you get. Bar staff are ok too, got served straight away, however I didn't see a price list (there probably is one somewhere) and last orders my drinks were suddenly over a pound more for same drinks I'd previously bought, I only got a pint of Foster's and a JD and coke, first round was 5.60, second he said 6.70 and when I pulled him he said 5.85, I'd like to think this was a genuine mistake but the till adds it up for you, so come on which price was right?

We called in at lunchtime on New Years Day. Shown to a very comfortable bench seat and enjoyed our Gammon & Eggs, and Fish & Chips, followed by Coffee. Very reasonably priced and exceptional pleasant Staff.

i couldn't get over the ramp to get in the front door. who ever built the ramp wasn't an expert and building ramps for electric wheelchairs.

Called in for lunch with family, food was good, spacious interior and excellent ales, just let down by an older lady behind the bar who finally served us after finishing her conversation, she was sadly unenthusiastic in her approach and service.

we called into the bar earlier in the day and was impressed by the decor and friendly staff. so went early evening for dinner.my partner ordered scampi and I ordered quiche. both served with chips.I was really impressed how quick it was served.when it arrived my quiche looked just about uncooked. very pale and insipid to look at. I immediately touched it and realised it was very cold so just out of the fridge and put on my plate with the bit of salad and chips.I complained and asked it be taken back and warmed up hoping it would improve the taste and appearance of the quiche.when brought back it was hot but had just been microwaved and then looked just as unappetizing and now was limp and soggy.I left all the base pastry and just scooped a little of the top off to try eating it. it was tasteless. awful.never had such a awful meal.my partner said scampi over cooked too.wont be returning for meal in the near future.

If you like your real ale with a view then this is a great little bar. It's conveniently situated so that you can take a nice stroll out, have a pint and then stroll back into Bridlington. Really enjoyed my pint and would definitely visit again. The bar is best described as 'somewhat traditional' and it has the potential to be even better. I'd definitely put it on my list of pubs to visit in Bridlington.

Great for a pint or 6, food is cold and not cooked, they stop serving at 8.00pm bad time to order the guy operating the microwave has had enough by then. sent food back 3 times, my partner had finished before I begun,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Visited here today all 3 of us really enjoyed our meals. Very generous portion of salmon with the salmon salad and likewise with the prawn jacket potato. This bar offers excellent value for money. Staff very friendly

Chanced upon this bar on the sea front, linked to a hotel. they sell a good range of hand-pulled real ales which are kept very well and were just the ticket. I saw it has won CAMRA awards and I think desevedly so, based on the beer we had. We decided to have a meal, which was freshly cooked and lovely, with good sized portions and friendly service.

We only had one night in Bridlington and I wanted a relaxed pub with good beer. The beers were excellent, the staff friendly and helpful and the customers all seemed happy with their food and drink. Ticked all the boxes. Well done!

If you are looking for a place to have a good meal and a pint of beer and not spend a lot of money, this is the place. This place is visited by locals and the atmosphere is relaxed. Recommended!

A good mix of locals and holidaymakers and an excellent range of real ales makes this a must for anyone who likes a good drink in a good environment. There's seating outside too (not just for smokers).

Next door to to the Expanse hotel. Entertainment on certain nights during the week. Good selection of beers and wines. Also, good bar menu selection. Can sit outside when the weather permits

Stopped here for lunch as our original destination had decided not to serve food that day. We found it much improved from our last visit about 3 years ago. Service was good as was the food, a chicken and bacon salad and a tuna baguette. Price was fine.

On a trip back to Bridlington to see my family we decided to visit the Marine Bar one evening. I must recommend this place to anyone in the area or passing by, the Marine Bar has a great selection of beers and has won awards for the quality of the beer they serve and they also offer a great menu, with the food being cooked next door in the Expanse Hotel. From the outside this looks like an ordinary little bar but they maintain a very high standard of both food and drink, don't miss it!

We were staying nearby and with reputation for real ale (in Good Beer Guide) we visited a few times. Excellent Theakston's Best was probably my beer of the week but had a few good beers in other places too. Food and service was reasonable and good value. Not fine dining but adequate overall. Our large group had some good meals and others were not as happy. Great beer at less then £3 per pint is wonderful. Beach and prom are across the road so good views from the bar windows.

Met our friends for a few drinks two couples, we only had two drinks, what has happened, cold uninviting , why blinds at the windows when it’s next to the sea, the table layouts are terrible , not sure who has helped them design the room but appalling no atmosphere, everyone staring at each other needs younger management to come in and give them a few ideas, they are relying on there old clientele on a Saturday night .

The Marine Bar is a family friendly real ale and cider pub. Food is served throughout the day 12-2pm and 5-8 pm. On a Thursday Burger Thursday £9.95 burger and a drink.

Stayed in the hotel and was told the uefa cup final would be on in the marine bar.

After having walked along Bridlington's fabulous promenade we came across the modest but busy & atmospheric Marine Bar. It occupies an excellent position on the promenade/seafront and features a spacious & sheltered outside sitting area - ideal for topping up the tan and/or grockle-watching. An unusual, single room lounge/bar with modern well spaced seating and tasteful bright decoration. A scrupulously clean bar with an interesting selection of drinks (including a rhubarb cider!). Well worth spending a little time deciding which drinks to go for. Tables were swiftly cleared & cleaned by chilled and friendly staff. This bar provides an ideal environment & ambience in which to enjoy superbly kept beers etc. Locals were great to chat with too. Certainly worthy of the many accolades & recommendations it receives.

I've been using this place for many years on visits to the town, and have always received a warm welcome. The staff are polite and friendly, the wide range of drinks are priced well and I would recommend this bar to any visitor.

Good pub fare with views to the nearby sea and sands. Lovely , clean, well kept, yes a bit tired but it makes up for that in charm. Good stop for lunch or dinner, burgers an plenty more.

Do not let looks deceive this one room bar attached to the Expense Hotel is a beer drinkers delight having a good turn over of real ales both local and from afar. Good outside drinking area to the front overlooking the sea. Inside have a good food menu for those seeking more than a pint!

Very disappointed, made a special visit today and had friends join us all the way from Cleethorpes, we had drinks and went to order food an hour after our arrival to be told kitchen closed for 45 mins as they were short staffed. Waited 10 minutes to be served our drinks on arrival but at no point was we told that we wouldn’t be able to order food. We don’t have the time to wait in case the kitchen opens again. It is a Saturday one of the busiest days of the week and not enough staff, very disappointed.

A great place to take in the delights of Bridlington away from the 'commercial hub-hub' of the town. A superb place to sample the real ales of Yorkshire. A must ro visit for all real ale lovers.

On the front the Bar is quite large with plenty of indoor tables plus a few outside. A reasonable menu but most people seemed to be choosing fish or scampi. Food came pretty quickly and the fish was good. A good Choice.

Came for long weekend. Great selection of beer. Bar staff were great. Special mention to the young barman Chris, he really made us feel welcome and made the effort to get to no us. And make our experience in the marine bar special. Great barman, credit to the place. Will definitely be back.

Staying at the expanse it was lovely to go into the bar and have a drink and listen to theguitarist.the bar was busy with a nice atmosphere we loved the lighting.

We always patronise this excellent Fish and Chip Shop after a walk on the Beach on Boxing Day.Usually at least 6 of us,it never disappoints

We called here for lunch with friends. We all ordered different food choices and we were all pleased with our food. The service at the bar and ordering the food was a little slow.

Both my wife & I visited on Sunday 25/11/18 for Sunday lunch and the food & service was exceptional. We both had fish & chips beside the seaside, made do without THE LAMB. Thank You Julie & we were very pleased with all aspects of our visit.

We were stopping only a few hundred yards from the marine bar so popped in twice during our stay only had a couple of drinks each night but the staff seemed friendly & it was a nice warm pub plus you have sea views too we watched the fireworks going off as it was bonfire night our first visit the food looked good but can't comment on that as we didnt eat if we stop near by again will definitely call in again

If you want an excellent choice of cask ales then look no further when in Bridlington. Five on offer with two from local breweries. Lovely views over the bay.

Having wandered around Briudlington, my partner (who is blind) and I decided to come in here for lunch. As the toilets were near the entrance, my partner decided to go in there while I waited with her guide dog. We then went and sat down and after we had decided what we wanted to order, I went back to the bar. I was surprised to be then told that dogs were not allowed in the bar. I pointed out that it was a guide dog and the member of staff had to go away and check whether the dog was allowed in. Luckily we were allowed to stay and we enjoyed the meal that we had. Despite the initial problem with the dog I would still go back if I was in the area again because the food was very good.

We nearly always visit here when in Bridlington. Again it was superb and good value for money. Well done.

Visited here on 2 nights as we were staying in the expance hotel which is attatched to the marine bar, the food is excellent and great value plenty of it.

third visit to Marine Bar, always in the week and out of season.pleasant welcome, good choice of real ales, excellent menu choice with reduced portions if required for older generation. good plateful of roast beef with a wealth of veg, fish and chips fresh and crispy all served with a smile.we love the decor,might not be to every ones taste, but £20 for all that and beer, what is there not to like.

We had seen a photo of fish and chips when we booked a room at the Expanse hotel and we were determined to try it. It certainly did not let us down. It was absolutely gorgeous. They do a half fish. Well we thought who would want a half fish? I think we should have as we really struggled but it was beautiful.

Visited here for our Sunday lunch, it’s exactly what you’d expect for a Sunday lunch. 3 meat options, sandwiches, jacket potatoes and a pie.

Bar underneath the Expanse hotel. 5 taps of craft beer with no real surprises. Free WiFi. Lovely outdoor seating area overlooking the sea and the cliffs. Free WiFi.

Had lunch sitting in the sunshine in the outside area overlooking Bridlington bay. We ordered the sharing platter which had lots of delicious nibbles more than enough for two. Washed down with a good beer and a straight cider. What a way to enjoy lunch

We have used this bar for a drink at the end of a walk along North beach, pleasant friendly staff.

What a great spot. I have passed the Marine bar plenty of times in the past but only yesterday decided to call for a meal, what a nice surprise, food and drink was reasonably priced, plenty of seating outside on a lovely summer afternoon, food when arrived was fresh and hot and generous portions.

We went into marine bar and had a meal, it was ok but when we ordered a Sunday roast we were told that they had run out of Yorkshire puddings. How can a restaraunt run out of Yorkshire puddings, when they are supposed to be home made. Anybody can make a Yorkshire pudding, there was no mention of reducing the price because of this. Can I also mention that the staff are not very friendly.

This is a well located bar on sea front. If you park after 6pm it’s free parking just over the road. All on one level with easy access through double doors for wheelchair.

Called for lunch - only wanted a light lunch. Good choice of sandwiches and beers. Had the prawn sandwiches and my wife the salmon served with small salad. Very generous fillings on both.Very clean and spacious with a good view of the promenade / sea.Would have been pleasant to have sat outside but the breeze was on the cool side.

Bar attached to the Expanse Hotel where we stayed, so very handy.

Parked straight outside No queues Quick food Nice atmosphere Great service Brilliant customer service and friendly

Little or nothing on the menu for vegans which is a shame. Went to the ship inn and they had multiple vegan options on the board.

Given the initial attraction was real-ales and convenient situation on the front, the Marine Bar did not let us down on those. The pie'n'chips/fish'n'chips ordered by two of our party were considered to be good value for money and quite edible. Unfortunately (as if often the case in places like this) the limited food on offer for vegetarians was poor, to put it mildly. Frozen convenience food like 'chicken' Kiev and veggie-burgers are not lip-smacking offerings at any time, but when the 'chef' had finished with the cremation of the burger my heart sank (whilst my stomach was heading in the opposite direction). How it ever came out of the kitchen on a plate, rather than in a bin, was beyond me. I explained this to the manager and agreed to a refund, after the offer of a baked potato with cheese in was declined. Looking around in the restaurant it would appear to be popular for customers happy with the cheap'n'cheerful approach to eating out but a bit of a 'throw-back' in so many ways.

A bar with a sea view. Nice food. Friendly staff. They have music on a Saturday night and is well attended Mix of ages use the place

Brilliant place for a meal and a drink before or after taking in the bracing sea air and fantastic sea views

I was allowed to use this bar when staying in the adjoining hotel. The hotel bars only had 'chemical' beer and lager. There is access to The Marine Bar without leaving the warmth of the hotel. The staff were very accommodating and allow a taster before buying. The atmosphere in the bar was warm and welcoming. The prices are slightly lower than I expected as well.

We stayed at the Hotel next door and used the Marine bar a few times. Good service at the bar and although not an extensive menu,plenty of choice and freshly made especially the Burgers!!

Great bar excellent selection of beers and wines fantastic food superb base for golfers within easy driving of plenty of top courses well recommended

These were the best fish & chips that we've had for a long time in a bar. The batter was lovely & crisp & the fish was lovely. Forget 149 this is the best & there's no problem parking outside.

Read the comments from the previous reviewer and can only say that some people take a lot of pleasing, my wife and I have eaten every Friday for the past 3 weeks where I have had fish and chips with mushy peas 1st week, chicken curry 2nd week and turkey and sausage pie last Friday and must say they were all pretty good although I will say the curry could have been a little more spicy but otherwise good.

When it comes to location, the Expanse Hotel is in a prime-seafront position, with a wonderful view across Bridlington Bay to Flamborough Head and a little gem if you like the romantic style of the 1920s/30s Art Deco period. We've never stayed there because we have family in the town, but we've attended functions and never been disappointed by the food or the staff.

We often sit and have a drink in the outside area if warm but only option if it is wet is to sit in the smoking area if you have a dog-not ideal for me. This meant we only had the one, before moving on but it is still a nice place to sit on sunny days-sea view over the parked cars

Always reliable. Great beer (although more summer ales would be nice!) We didn't eat here this time, but food is always good

We've visited several times and the pub serves a good selection of food and well kept hand pulled beers with frequent guest beers.It has been quiet and relaxing with an outdoor seating area overlooking Bridlington North Beach.Popular with older customers.WARNING. Don't expect quiet conversation on a Saturday night. We called after a long cycle ride, ready for a relax and refreshing drink. There was a "turn" on. The music was so loud we couldn't hear each other talking. We sat in the porch where it was a little quieter but not ideal as we were in the thoroughfare of the excited, beer filled clientele leaving and wobbling their way out.Might just be me that I"m the wrong age group for revelling, "more mature" disco's.Will definitely visit again but not on Saturday night.

3 of us ordered 3 different main meals.All 3 were served warm - definitely not hot.The burger bun was half black, tasted burnt so spoiled the burger, salad was iceberg lettuce with a few slices of tomato & cucumber.The medium rare steak was overcooked.We were inundated with flies whilst eating.Lovely place, friendly staff, we live in Bridlington and had been told to expect to pay £2 - £3 a meal more than usual - there are much better places to eat with exceptional food.

Decent selection of well kept real ales. Pub obviously takes pride on its offering and has received awards (Camra et al). Didn't eat on this occasion but it seemed a popular place to do so. Not exactly cosy mind and the beer garden (despite its sea views) is just a patch on concrete. Would visit again though.

We stayed at the expanse hotel last week and we had our evening meal in the marine bar 6 nights . The staff are friendly. The food is excellent, always hot and a good choice. A large selection of real ale. Really impressed.

Firstly very courteous and welcoming staff. Good selection of drinks including my favourite beer - Timothy Taylor's. Really impressed by the food we ordered, in some ways the usual seaside menu but prepared with great care and very tasty. Would definitely return.

We found the Marine Bar had a good selection of well-kept real ale and a varied menu. The service was excellent and the food was freshly cooked and very tasty. Fully recommended.

We were staying in the apartments in the Expanse Hotel and as it was so close we decided to try it for convenience. it doesn't look so attractive on the outside but great home cooking at a reasonable price. The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful and the food very tasty.

Called here for the first time on a weekend visit to Bridlington. The bar was pretty busy and so was obviously a popular place. It had a nice atmosphere to it and a nice décor. The four of us had different dishes and we were all happy with our choices. Reasonably priced and we would be happy to visit again. Pretty extensive menu choices too

Called in last week with my dog... I did the decent thing and asked if they were dog friendly... the response a polite no... this was a real shame as the ale (we sat outside) was lovely and well kept. The bar staff were a little "off" or maybe they were having a bad day (but they still pulled a lovely pint).... overall the Marine Bar is a lovely place but would be so much better if they allowed dogs in... maybe after the food serving has ended...oh and the landlady was fine, I think it helps when you are polite...
