Coast Bar & Restaurant
Coast Bar and Restaurant is situated in the centre of Arbroath across from the Abbeygate Shopping Centre. It is a great place to stop after a busy day shopping or as a meeting point for friends and family.
Their menu and dishes have been inspired by the finest local ingredients and influenced by the locality near the sea.
These dishes have been lovingly compiled by the Head Chef whether being good old fashion classics or his own delicious creations.
The reviews of Coast Bar and Restaurant speak for themselves with plenty of raving comments about food quality and service. Their menu has plenty of options with a wide selection of main meals, burgers, wraps, nachos and even offer reduced portions for those with a smaller appetite.
Their beer garden is a great way to enjoy a beer or a cocktail in the sun not to mention their homemade milkshakes.
The drink selection is varied too with something to suit all tastes. Interestingly they are one of the only bars in Scotland that has a gun for pouring the spirits from. Really fascinating for any bar geeks.
Service is the forefront of any successful business and table service is offered throughout including the beer garden. The Front of House Team is always on hand to answer any queries. They pride themselves on being the best at what they do.
Sit back, relax and enjoy all Coast Bar and Restaurant has to offer.
Tutties Neuk Inn
Tutties Neuk Inn is one of the first restaurants and bars you will pass on Arbroath from the Dundee Road side and it should not be passed. If, when you go for food, you like to have a place that feels like eating at home then this is the place for you.
This cosy and warm inn is very inviting. You will be greeted with a warm and welcoming smile to one of Arbroath’s greatest gems.
Everything here is homemade right down to the chips, owner Carol insists on this, and the results speak for themselves. The menu has all your pub grub favorites including their famous fish and chips with homemade tartare sauce that can be served breaded or battered, the “Garfield approved” lasagna and their steak pie, which the menu claims to be “the best steak pie in toon.” It would take a brave person to refute this claim, especially when you read the reviews.
The bar at Tutties Neuk Inn is great to enjoy a drink in a bustling local inn. Its located right across the road from Arbroath’s football stadium, Gayfield. Visit here before or after to warm the bones because Gayfield is officially the closest ground to the sea, watch out for those North Sea waves.
This little inn has stood the test of time and what Carol and her team bring to the table along with some of the best food Arbroath has to offer, is a warm, personal service that will have you desperate to return.
Don’t forget, as well as dining out, there is so much else to do in Arbroath! Enjoy these family-friendly attractions or take a wander through the town’s West Port to discover some great independent local businesses.
