was sat in the beer garden of the spinning wheel on wednesday. You just missed the carnival mate as we just got out before the road was closed.
The bar was opposite the fair on the seafront, next to the pub with the floating sphere/orb things.
Looked like it could be a good night spot, with 4 bars and entertainment...bar staff wern't bad either
