Drinking & Nightlife
Torquay has one of the busiest nightlife scenes in Devon - the area around the harbour
gets particularly hectic, especially at weekends.
Hole in the Wall
(6 Park Lane)
Dating from around 1540, this heavily beamed, Tardis-like boozer claims to be
the oldest pub in Torquay - the part-cobbled floor is actually listed. At the front there's a
tiny alley-cum-terrace on which to enjoy an al fresco pint.
PUB
Hennessy
(

; 41 Torwood St; 6pm-midnight Tue-Sun)
Gilt chairs, leather banquettes
and mock flock wallpaper set the scene at this busy cocktail bar.
COCKTAIL BAR
CLUB
Bohemia
(

;

pect R&B, hip-hop, chart, indie and dance anthems.
