Good Beer Guide

Bay Hotel, Port Erin

Improve This Listing

Bushy’s flagship pub is on one of the best beaches on the island. Beach concerts featuring local bands and a promenade patio help make The Bay a great venue where local bands play. A good range of Bushy's brews are usually available. The interior comprises of several traditional rooms - including public bar, quiet room, and dining room. There is much memorabilia on the walls, in particular motorbike memorabilia in the gents, with bespoke Bushy's tiling. There is a also a unique photo of John Lennon on the beach in Port Erin along with others who went on to be nationally famous in their own right. (See photos). Look out for the Tristan Da Cunha flag flying outside, in addition to one of the three famous Bushy's bottle cars that is frequently parked in the vicinity. The Tristan flag celebrates a unique collaboration some years ago between Bushy's and the remote island, in which Island Brew was made from rare berries brought specially from the volcanic slopes of Tristan in the remote south Atlantic. This pub has been both Isle of Man CAMRA Cider and Branch Pub of the Year. Food times may vary in winter months.

Asset of Community Value

Built 1890s as a hotel, but was closed for 12 years until acquired by Bushy's Brewery and reopened late 2001, after a major refurbishment, involving all woodwork being removed and destroyed being seriously infected with dry rot. Victorian tiled passage leads to bar on L/H (was two rooms) with part remaining Victorian bar back (including mirrors), but counter is later work. There is much use of reclaimed breweriana items. Two fireplaces (but not the surrounds) are original. R/H room (was two rooms) has modern and reclaimed fittings. Door and panels come from elsewhere and one has a reversed pane.
