THE DRIFTWOOD BAR

The Driftwood Bar is at the heart of the club and as the sun sets, guests gather here for a sophisticated cocktail before dinner. The Driftwood Bar is also host to our much-loved evening entertainment which includes our Open-Mic Night, the Peli Pub Quiz and our renowned Party Nights.

Lunch service is particularly busy with up to 300 guests dining each day during peak season and we regularly host up to 130 guests for dinner. With something different happening every evening, there’s never a dull moment. The most popular evenings are our Party Nights where the bar is transformed into a dance floor – one of these always has a fancy dress theme and staff are encouraged to join in the fun.
