Best pubs and bars in Kingswear
There are a couple of great pubs in Kingswear serving excellent ales and good pub food. Dartmouth, just across the river, has a wider selection of pubs and bars to choose from, so you certainly won’t be short of watering holes to visit during your luxury cottage stay in Kingswear!
The Ship Inn, Kingswear
With its roots back in the 15th century, this historical pub could certainly tell some tales. Sitting adjacent to the village church, it’s a great spot for a pint at any time of year. Cosy up in front of the open fires during the cooler months and soak up the sun from the raised terrace in the spring and summer. The views across the river to Dartmouth and the Britannia Royal Naval College are fabulous.
The Steam Packet Inn, Kingswear
With its picturesque terrace space overlooking the Dart Estuary, this quaint family-run business serves delicious locally-sourced food.
With a regular schedule of live music and quizzes, this lively pub has an incredible atmosphere in any season. They even cater to private events, but book well in advance!
Dolium Wine Bar and Tapas, Kingswear
If you fancy sipping an Aperol Spritz overlooking glistening water and the glorious South Hams countryside, then Dolium is a must-visit.
This lively Italian establishment is dubbed Little Italy in South Devon. Browse the varied cocktail menu over antipasti and while away the hours watching the sun set over neighbouring Dartmouth.
The Dartmouth Arms, Dartmouth
The Dartmouth Arms is a cosy pub located directly across the water from Kingswear on the historic Bayards Cove in Dartmouth. Serving well-kept, local beers and homemade food, this establishment is a firm favourite for those after a more traditional pub in an attractive setting. Draught beers include Exmoor Ales Wicked Wolf, Otter Ale and Sharp’s Atlantic IPA. They also regularly switch up guest ales throughout the year.
