The Moon by Sea

You'll find yourself on Goring Road, that stretch between the seafront and the town centre where things get properly interesting. The Moon by Sea is the kind of place that doesn't shout about itself—no neon signs, no Instagram bait—just a proper bar that takes its work seriously. Step inside and you're in a space that feels like someone's finally got the balance right: intimate enough for a proper conversation, but with enough energy that you're never sitting in silence. The ratings speak for themselves (4.6 stars from people who clearly know what they're after), and locals keep coming back because the bartenders actually know their craft.
