Highlights

Pubs and Bars in Babbacombe

From relaxing walks with a view along the Babbacombe Downs to family fun at Babbacombe Model Village, you’ll find plenty to keep you busy when you come to Babbacombe. And when you’re ready for a well-earned rest, you’ll discover a wide choice of bars and pubs that offer a warm welcome and a cool drink so you can put your feet up.

Pubs and bars in Babbacombe with a sea view

If you like to enjoy your pint of beer or glass of pinot grigio with a view, you’ll find some of the most spectacular that Torbay has to offer in Babbacombe. From the Babbacombe Downs you can see as far as Portland Bill in Dorset on a fine day, with stunning sea views stretching across Lyme Bay. There are several pubs perched right on the Downs, where you can enjoy these views with a drink in your hand. Try the Buccaneer Inn or The Babbacombe Inn, which both make the most of the views with indoor and outdoor seating areas.

Located right on the water’s edge at Oddicombe Beach you’ll find Three Degrees West. This smart Bar-Bistro has a chilled out Balearic vibe. Sit out on the terrace to catch the suns rays or stay cosy inside behind the floor to ceiling glass doors and watch the waves crashing.

Sample the best local ales

The English Riviera has a strong reputation for delicious local produce and that includes our ale! Just along the road in Paignton, you’ll find Bays Brewery or head inland along the winding country lanes for Hunter’s Brewery at Ipplepen. These local brews and more of the Westcountry’s finest can also be found in our pubs and bars. The Buccaneer Inn on Babbacombe Downs is well known for serving award-winning ales and you’ll find a host of award winning local brews behind the bar at The Cary Arms.

Gastro-pub dining at its best in Babbacombe

You may pop in for a quiet drink after a day’s sailing, but take one look at the fabulous menu offered at The Cary Arms and you’ll probably decide to stay for dinner too. Located right on the water’s edge at Babbacombe Beach, the restaurant at this award winning hotel and spa creates dishes using the finest local ingredients, which can all be washed down by their extensive selection of drinks. Situated right beside the coast path, you can work up a hearty appetite before you take a rest on the terrace or in the bar. And as dogs are welcome, you can bring your pet pooch along to enjoy it too.

Independent Babbacombe pubs and bars with added entertainment

Walk down the high street in Babbacombe and you’ll find lots of quirky independent shops and boutiques. And it’s the same with our pubs and bars – you’ll find plenty of independent, family run businesses all offering something a little different to the big name chains. The Dolphin at neighbouring St Marychurch is an independent pub serving food and offering regular entertainment, like live music and games nights. Or get up on stage and take the mike yourself at karaoke night at The Artful Dodger, also in St Marychurch.

From sampling local ale to enjoying beer on the beachfront, search Babbacombe pubs and bars.
