Good to Know

The Lounge Bar is a small, intimate cocktail and wine bar on Bridge Street in Amble, a few minutes' walk from the harbour. Billy McCulloch and Jamie Balfour took it over in July 2023 and run it as a small, personal operation.

Friday is open mic and buskers night, which brings out plenty of local talent, and there's live music on Sundays. The drinks list covers cocktails, a good choice of wine and beers on draught, and they host the occasional wine-tasting evening.

Why it's on our list: it's rated around 4.9 out of 5 on Tripadvisor, and reviewers keep describing it as a cosy hidden gem with two genuinely friendly hosts, the kind of place that will happily make you a cocktail that isn't on the menu.

Worth knowing: it's an evening place, closed early in the week, and opening times shift with the seasons, so check before heading over.

A Little Note From Heather & Sand

We haven't quite made it here ourselves yet, but it's on our list!

We're working our way around Northumberland, personally visiting and reviewing as many of the places featured in our Listed section as we can. It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it.

In the meantime, we do our homework. Before adding somewhere to Heather & Sand, we research it, look at what other visitors have to say and check that it has a good reputation. If the feedback isn't encouraging, it generally doesn't make our list.

Of course, a little online research is no substitute for muddy boots, a decent coffee and seeing somewhere for ourselves. So until we've visited, we'll leave the personal review to one side.

A little about us...

Heather & Sand is our little corner of Northumberland — a collection of places, stories, walks and discoveries from a county we love.

Through our Journal, Guide and Listed pages, we hope to help you discover somewhere new, revisit an old favourite or simply enjoy a little Northumberland from wherever you happen to be.
