Brentwood Bay Pub has ambiance to spare. Floor to ceiling windows flood the room with light. Whether you choose to sit indoors by the cozy fireplace or out on the heated patio (complete with outdoor fire pit!) you'll have a commanding view of the marina. This pub offers friendly service and one of the best ocean views on the island.
I must profess I haven't sampled much from Brentwood Bay Pub's menu but I simply had to give a shout out to their superb seafood chowder. Steve and I have sampled it on two occasions. At first we balked at the price ($13 for a bowl seemed eye wateringly expensive) but we had a craving so we gave in. We were glad we did. We were each served a veritable tureen of smoky creamy broth brimming with chunks of salmon, halibut, ling cod and clams and topped with a garlicky crouton. Steve orders chowder nearly everywhere he goes and he gave this a big thumbs up. It is the best we have tried. This chowder is sublimely smoky and sweet and the creamy rich broth sated our appetite for hours.
While the chowder may be on the pricey side, beer is very reasonable. A pint of craft beer is $4.50. A glass of wine is $4.00. Brentwood Bay pub also serves up gourmet woodfire baked pizzas, steaks, salads, and burgers. Given that restaurants face tremendous challenges to meet their costs and retain any profit I am not going to begrudge them here. The relaxed atmosphere and excellent service go a long way to placating any wallet angst.
I would suggest for a double bill you head to Oldfield Farm (see previous post) and cap off your afternoon with a cold beer at Brentwood Bay pub. I can't think of a more rewarding way to spend a lazy weekend afternoon!
