An article highlighting the eleven best cocktail bars in the UK, published by The Independent on Friday, included The Beach at Bude, coming in at number three on the list after The American Bar at the Savoy Hotel in London (number two), and Albert’s Schloss in Manchester (number one).

The Bude-based bar is situated at Summerleaze, and was described as having a ‘contemporary, unpretentious and Instagram-worthy vibe’, catering ‘to both the young surfer and the more hip parents’.
