Home to live music on the Isle of Wight
Located on the beautiful Isle of Wight
The world-famous, award-winning Spyglass Inn sits at the western end of Ventnor Esplanade on the Isle of Wight, in a most enviable position overlooking the English Channel. The inn is steeped in history, being perhaps the oldest building on the Esplanade, dating back to around 1830.
The pub is one of the iconic buildings of Ventnor and has a reputation that is founded on good grub, great beer and a fantastic atmosphere, muddy boots and dogs are more than welcome. This is enhanced by the live music which is presented free of charge most evenings as well as lunchtime on Sundays and features many of the Isle of Wight’s top local musicians.
Newport was once a busy trading port with numerous warehouses, loading cranes, ships and barges. One of the last remaining warehouses has been extensively renovated and sits alongside the Bargeman’s Rest and is home to the Quay Arts Centre.
Newport is the Isle of Wight’s county town and is truly at the heart of the Island. The Bargeman’s Rest is just a short walk down Quay Street or Holyrood Street from Newport High Street, so is perfectly placed for a hearty meal or a drink on the water’s edge.
The terrace at The Steamer Inn affords panoramic views across Sandown Bay to the English Channel. Situated right on Shanklin Esplanade, it’s a lovely spot to enjoy some of the Isle of Wight’s best fresh seafood from our specials board or perhaps while away a relaxing afternoon. Enjoy an extensive wine list and fine selection of real ales and beers.
Families will feel especially welcome as the patio and veranda look out on miles of sandy beaches. The bar is open all day every day. Muddy boots and well behaved dogs are welcome.
The Dairyman’s Daughter sits at the heart of Arreton Barns. Offering great local live music, fabulous real ales and a delicious menu of traditional home cooked food, it’s the perfect pit stop after shopping.
Beautifully decorated in original memorabilia, the Dairyman’s Daughter is a ‘proper’ traditional pub with a lovely outdoor courtyard and sheltered seating area, ideal for the summer months. The extensive menu of home cooked dishes showcases the local produce from the Arreton Valley and surrounding areas.
“We have live music from Island bands and artists most nights of the week as well as weekly quizzes, folk and jazz evening. Bring along an instrument and join in!”
Muddy boots and well behaved dogs are welcome!

Ventnor is one of England’s most famous seaside resorts, known for its unique microclimate. Set on the south side of the Isle of Wight, Ventnor has a decidedly Mediterranean feel with its cafes and restaurants spilling out onto the pavements of the Esplanade. The town of Ventnor lies beneath the Island’s highest point on St Boniface Down, and is mainly built onto the side of a steep hill that leads down to the seafront and beach.
