Vaughans Bar

You'll find Vaughans tucked away on Vaughan Parade, the kind of place where the bar staff know what they're doing and the crowd isn't performing for Instagram. It's got that lived-in feel—wood, warm lighting, the sort of spot that rewards regulars but welcomes newcomers without making them feel like they're intruding. The cocktails are thoughtfully made rather than showy, and they're not trying to be something they're not. Whether you're after a proper drink before dinner or settling in for the evening, this is where Torquay's actual drinkers tend to gather.
