This seafront bar has traded under many names, the most popular and best remembered is that of the Royal Stewart, although it had previously been the Blue Orchid, Kazbah, Boots, Maggie's bar, before moving on to Checkers, Tangerine, The Escape Bar, and now, Pier View.

Opened on the 20th of July, Pier View is a spin-off of the Park View in Durrington. From what we can tell, they want to bring the same service and standard down to this seaside bar, and if successful, will have a thriving business.

The Pier View plans to be a cafe during the day and a pub and kitchen in the evenings.
