Fistral Blu Beach Venue is a bar situated right on Fistral Beach in Newquay. It is world famous because of its connections to surfing. It is a really unique location and probably the best spot if you want a drink on the beach without getting covered in sand. Usually full of surfers and tourists, the interior has lots of comfortable seating for the surf dudes to chill out on. For location this bar is hard to beat, great views out on to the bay, with surfers and watersports to watch for entertainment. As for the drinks they serve, well this is where the bar falls down. I had a bottle of St Austells Tribute which is recognised as a fine beer but in this bar it was kept in the fridge and served at a temperature close to freezing which completely ruined it. A friend of mine had a pint of Guiness which was only half finished because it had a bad after taste. There was not a great deal of the drinks you would expect from a bar like this and there was a large selection of cider which I found a little unusual.
You are not allowed to take drinksdown and wander on the beach and there was a security presence to enforce this which dampened the atmosphere a little. I wouldn't recemmend this bar for a casual drink but for an organised beach party or surf gathering it could be ok.
