Blu Cargo, Torquay

Not open on late Wednesday afternoon, which seemed somewhat odd.

The Blu Cargo Canteen Bar is housed in a building that was originally built as a chapel in 1839. There are no pews in here now though as the interior is contemporary and there is a neon hue from the blue lighting throughout. There are plenty of plasma screens and Sky Sports is shown here. There was a rugby match on during my recent midweek evening visit and only a handful of other customers. I imagine that there is music when sport isn’t being shown and I wouldn’t be surprised if this place has a late license. San Miguel was available alongside a standard draught selection, cocktails and milkshakes. There are better places for a drink in the immediate area so I’ll not be returning.
