Coast to Coast, Brighton

Coast to Coast is an American themed restaurant with a small bar that I considered as separate from the dining area. Within this bar area are 3 high tables that separate the bar from three round booth tables. I was not prompted to order food and I was made to feel very welcome by the friendly bar keep. Blue Moon, Samuel Smith’s Boston Lager, Blue Point’s Toasted Lager, Goose Island IPA, Budweiser, Stella Vier, San Miguel and Angry Orchard Cider were the offerings from the keg range. It was unsurprising to see a lack of real ale. My visit was on a quiet Wednesday evening so I found it fairly relaxing. Muted baseball was airing on a couple of small televisions and there was some nondescript background music that added little to the mix. Out the front is plenty of non-smoking seating with views over the marina. I enjoyed my visit, but I wonder whether my experience would have been different at a peak dining time.

I guess it just about qualifies to call itself a bar. There's a few high tables around the tiny bar and I didn't get hassled about not eating. Draft beers include Blue Moon and Sam Adams. Picking up WiFi from Pizza Express next door.
