The Spyglass Inn sits at the western end of Ventnor Esplanade in a most enviable position, overlooking the English Channel. The Inn itself is steeped in history, being probably the oldest building on the Esplanade, dating from around 1830.

As you approach the building with its superb terrace and dining area, you can't help but be impressed by the wonderful location, for centuries the haunt of smugglers with their contraband from the French coast, only a few hours sail away.

When you enter the Spyglass, you will be intrigued by the enormous collection of seafaring memorabilia accumulated by the owners, Neil, Stephanie & Rosie Gibbs and you will find it hard to drag yourself away from the fascinating items on display to inspect the equally fascinating menu!

The Spyglass is well known among the Islanders as well as visitors from all over the world for excellent seafood, including Ventnor Bay lobsters and crabs, as well as many other mouth-watering delights on offer throughout the year.

The bar boasts a vast range of ales, wines and spirits from around the world.

In the evening there is a wealth of entertainment on offer, ranging from country to folk, jazz and more to suit all tastes!
