The Main Bar and Restaurant
A Hive of Activity
At the hub of our establishment is the Thirsty Whale’s Main Bar and Restaurant. This area is mainly a restaurant during the day and early evening. Later on it turns into one of the hottest night spots in town. It is also an excellent place to meet friends, family or work colleagues for a catch up and a drink any time of day.
The bar is large with a high ceiling. The shape lends itself to being portioned off into separate dining or socialising groups away from other customers. We also have one of the biggest screens in town along with five other plasma screens for your viewing pleasure.
If your group is holding a function at the Thirsty Whale, you can meet in the main bar and enjoy a drink while you wait for your group to arrive. We also have a superb view over the harbour from the front deck.
