Been drinking here for approx 40 years so I must like the place, nice outside area when sun is shining, and big screen for watching sport, does get very busy at times.

My go-to place for a beer. Always a friendly crowd of locals and tourists. Great views of the front what ever the weather. Excellent place to watch a winter storm at high tide!! Or relax in the beer garden on a nice sunny day

Not bad beer. No food served so we went to the chippy up the road and carried on drinking. £40 for 2 rounds of drinks only to be told that we can't eat food from elsewhere, despite the fact they don't serve food.

First time here. Back on The Guinness after sometime. And what a pint. No rush from the barman to pour it (rightly), 3/4s, leave to settle, then finish. Great pint, and the weather still good enough to sit outside to sink it. My mate had a pint of Worthy, which was excellent too. We'll be back 👍🤓

It has a long frontage facing the sea and gets its fair share of the sun as such it makes it a popular venue, inside I feel lacks any atmosphere. Two TV's showing cricket/horse racing. One ale Sharp's Doombar. Staff friendly enough.

The marine bar is a great place to go for a quiet drink or a night out even! It's exceptionally clean and modern inside with pool tables and even a machine that can charge your phone or Vape pen for half an hour for £1! The bar is also dog friendly:) The staff are friendly and welcoming which makes your visit even better. Outside they have benches which is a sun trap when it's lovely weather with a sea front view which is right opposite the bar! At night starting from 9:00 pm they have a live band which is great entertainment for a night out so I would recommend anyone and everyone to go to the marine bar because its a great place just to even pop in for one drink even, it's even better when the sun is blasting and your sitting outside with your cold drink watching the cars and people with dogs walking past with your sunglasses on, flood to the marine bar in the sunshine or even when it's a rainy day its lovely inside!

Great place as I've been coming here a long time, especially more so in the summer sitting outside with a nice cold pint of cider overlooking the sea it's fab. If you like entertainment they have live music or if your into sport you can watch all the best games. They also own the pub next door if you fancy a bite too eat or also they do functions. They also have rooms to rent out. Great location, great vibe.

Prebooked a table for food and drinks and ended up seated on the high tables with stools. Asked if we could have a booth (there were 2 booths free the whole time we were there) and was told point blank no. Food was lovely (I chose rissoto) and was asked what type of potato I wanted, i.e., chips or jacket potato. I thought that was a strange think to ask. Won't rush back as the service wasn't the best.
