Great location, overlooking the sea. One of my favourite bars, with a good atmosphere. Plenty of seating inside and out. The best dirty fries! The food and drink are not the cheapest, but the views make up for it. Great place for watching the sunset.

Excellent pit-stop in a great location. Visited end of April 2025: not empty, but more than pleasant both at the Blue Bar and on the beach. (There's still ample public parking nearby.)

Fantastic place to sit down and eat. Stopped by and had a couple of meals here and was blown away by the food. The welcome was warm and friendly and the food was incredible. Had two evenings outside a d a breakfast in. All three were quickly delivered and tasty. A must to stop at.

Came for brunch, absolute gem of a restaurant, we ordered two breakfast items, sausage and egg muffin and huervos rancheros. Perfect sea view beach bar, great food, warm hospitality and great prices. We intend on returning again!

Amazing setting if its a lovely sunny day, not so sure on a cold wintery day. Me and my wife had an amazing chicken ciabatta bread with chips, and she still talks about it to this day how nice it was. Great view if you can get on the outside seating with the sun going down. Would highly recommend

Very relaxed and casual venue with amazing sea views dog friendly and a very popular place in the summer! Great food at reasonable prices considering it's location. Always enjoy going here.

This is the place to go if you’re after stunning views, electric atmosphere and great food. From the fresh nachos to the creative trash browns. The blue bar has everything. You can tell how much the locals love it, and rightfully so! Thanks, Claude
