RAISE YOUR GLASS TO THE BEST NEW VIEW IN TOWN

- CAITLAN CHARLES

PATRONS will have a whole new perspectiv­e from the Seaview Hotel with its new sports bar opening with stellar views of The Strand.

Work was completed recently, with the revitalise­d corner of the watering hole opening to the public in late

August. The new sports bar, which took over the space of the former game room, has opened up a key piece of real estate with the hotel now offering almost wall-to-wall views of the ocean.

Along with picturesqu­e views of The Strand, patrons will now be able to access a full TAB service, which the pub had never offered previously. Seaview Hotel general manager Jason Schell said the new sports bar opened last Thursday to a positive response.

“(It) had a really solid crowd on Saturday for our first major punt day,” Mr Schell said.

“It was always the aim to bring back the corner of the hotel as a bar to sit at and enjoy the views of the ocean and the busy Strand area.

“(It) gives the hotel a bar for 18 plus as well as an airconditi­oned bar for those hot summer days.”

He said that builders would start work on the Restaurant Bar this week, with the plan for it to be completed in mid-october.
