About Loading Bar

Madeira Drive, on the lower esplanade. Loading Bar is a gaming bar with board games and retro consoles alongside a cocktail menu, in a seafront location most gaming bars would envy. Independent. Wheelchair accessible. Dog-friendly. Open daily. The drinks list is solid and the games library runs deep enough that you'll lose track of time. Friday and Saturday nights get busy. If you want to play Mario Kart with a pint in hand while the sea is ten metres away, this is the only option.
