Jam Jar Wine & Pinball Lounge
Pinball machines meet proper wine selection on Victoria Road—a proper alternative to the usual seafront haunts.

You'll find yourself on Victoria Road heading towards the town centre, and suddenly there's Jam Jar: a spot that doesn't try too hard but gets the formula exactly right. It's the kind of place where you can rock up for a glass of something decent without the fuss, pull back on a pinball machine, and realise you've lost two hours to competitive scores and decent chat. The vibe sits somewhere between student union nostalgia and actual grown-up comfort—mismatched furniture, soft lighting, and enough personality to feel lived-in rather than designed-by-committee. Whether you're here for the wine list or the machines (or let's be honest, both), it's refreshingly unpretentious.
