Scarborough Beach Bar Reviews
When in Scarborough, you must visit this little joint. What a special find!
The view is amazing, spectacular view. The food is also amazing, little tasty tapas to share, and quite a selection too.
The service is great, staff friendly and helpful.
A very vibrant place to relax, enjoy the sea view and just chill.

We did the Sunday Brunch. You have a choice of one pretty standard dish and all you can drink wine, beer, or one choice of a Spritz. There is only one white, rose, sparkling, or shiraz. Food choices and drink choices are definitely limited. Only 2 people working so a bit of a serve yourself atmosphere. We had fun though with the nice view.

We came here on a quiet weekday and got a great seat out on the balcony. Drinks were cold, food was good (new menu) and the staff were attentive.
It gets very busy on the weekend and anytime the sun is out so be prepared. But overall a nice clean place for lunch.

This place is LOUD, so as a restaurant, it’s almost impossible to have a reasonable meal. The food is reasonably priced and ok, but honestly this is a bar for the younger set, and people looking for a nice meal would be better served looking elsewhere. Seemed to be a very lively bar though!

The food is beyond incredible; each dish is a culinary masterpiece. The customer service is simply amazing, with a staff that goes above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience. What truly sets this place apart is the live music, which transforms the environment into something truly special. I can't express enough how much I love it, and I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking an exceptional dining experience.

Staff were friendly and polite. Indoor seating and outdoor seating on balcony overlooking a panoramic beach front view.
Food was delicious and cooked perfectly. Very fresh produce too. Compliments to your chef.
Looking forward to visiting again

Pros: The food were great without too much seasoning, especially with the great ocean view front of you. The bar waiter was friendly to introduce their slushy drink. 👍
Cons: nothing else can be picked

Ok...... let's get the elephant in the room out of the way....... This seems to be a place that always responds to customer feedback, but can be a love it, or loath it experience, so maybe a staff training around the 'Culture' and what is expected of everybody who works here, should get everybody on the same page around the Customer experience.
Now..... having said that. We visited for the first time tonight and loved the quirky and fun entrance to the bar.
Staff were friendly whilst doing the neccessary covid checks.
We were 15 mins too early for happy hour, but that was ok, because we had not known about happy hour from 5pm to 6pm anyway.
Good drink selection, although once again, as in the trendier pubs...... no dark ales or stout.
The food menu looked pretty decent, but was too early for us to have dinner, so we opted for a bowl full of hot chips and a side of aoili.
Nice, hot, crispy chips and lots of them for just $5 bucks.
Hoping to have nice view from the balcony was what drew us to here and that was wonderful over the vibrant Scarborough foreshore and beach.
Bumping into some friends topped off the visit beautifully and I can honestly say, our customer experience here tonight was 5 star.
Thank you to the owners, managers and staff...... oh and to the DJ for some lit mixing.

I've been to Brazilian night there and that was wonderful. I had a meat platter and yuca fries, both were delicious!
The live music was contagious, so exciting. Please keep these specials!
Great atmosphere, friendly staff and an amazing ocean view, I definitely recommend

Great place, great view to the stunning Indian Ocean. Also, Mari, the Argentinian manager is one more star for the bar, lovely person, you should go for some drinks and at least one of their snacks or meals. Definitely a place to go in Scarborough.

Great atmosphere, best spot for sitting and people watching and enjoying the sunset along the Scarborough strip. Not so loud that you can't have a conversation, but still lively. Great vibes, classy crowd. Shout out to Isaac for top-notch friendly service!

Fast service , staff were friendly, views were incredible, food and cocktails let them down. Decided to go elsewhere for desert.
The cocktails werent great - too much alcohol thay its overpowering and unpleasant to drink, like the ratio was not quite right.
Ordered muscles which were incredibly small - some shells were empty , some not even opened, sauce tasted like tinned tomatoes.
Ordered the split pea dip - spiced chickpea and pita , pita so dry its chewy hard to bite, and dip very crumbly and dry could use oil of some sort.
Chips were good and crispy, the American burger was average.
Incredible views, however food & cocktails did not match the spectacular views of the restaurant. They visually look great, but quality is lacking. Quite disappointed to be honest.

Best place in Scarborough for a catch up with friends or gathering events… everything you need: drinks, great sunset view, food and vibes!!! 3rd time this month after the first time I was there on a Brazilian night. They had traditional music and food, the view was incredible and I like that is not packed and not too loud as you can actually chat to people.
Then we had friends over from NZ and took them there for sunset drinks, everyone loved it.
And last night we got our team together there, once again, not disappointed!
Service is great, Dani and Mari thank you for having us!!! I’ll be back soon

Atmosphere and view was absolutely stunning! Cool sea breeze fabulous for summer time. But food quality was so so.... The steak was bit dry, sandwich bread looks like brioche but it just burger bun.

Ashleigh was amazing 10/10 service. So friendly and made our bottomless high tea so much fun. Would go back again and again just for Ashleigh’s service.

A lovely meal of lobster linguine and choc brownie dessert. My eyes were definitely too big for my stomach, but I didn't regret it at all. With 2x SSB house wines. Order at bar but great service and friendly staff. A rainy day and a little chill next to windows but still lovely.

A huge thank you for making our visit such a fantastic experience! I'm from the UK and Ashleigh (who I believe was the manager in duty) insisted we take one of the balcony tables to experience the beautiful panoramic sunset views.
There was so much food to choose from and I was allowed to make some tweaks to suit my dietary requirements. Our server also had a great knowledge of wines and made some suitable recommendations.
Service was attentive, friendly and professional. Food was delicious.
A huge thank you to Ashleigh and all her team for making our visit so memorable. Will definitely be back!

Absolutely perfect place for a casual dinner with friends. Music playing, great atmosphere and lovely views. Food and pizza superb. Our favourite was the Croquetta, you must try them!
All wait staff were friendly and very helpful.
