The Sail Loft
​Bar | Kitchen | Lounge

The Sail Loft Dartmouth is the dream project of Rupert & Sarah Smither. They fell in love with this beautiful building at the end of Foss Street in Dartmouth, and were determined to restore it to its former glory, and from it, run a successful hospitality business.

The buildings' origins date back to the early Pilgrims who set sail to the Americas in the mid 1600's, and in the years since it has had many guises including a Customs House, a garage for the GPO, and most recently a Sail Makers and Rigging Business. It is with that tradition and history in mind that they set about the refurbishment of this historically important Dartmouth Building.

With Rupert's vision and determination, and Sarah's interior design flair and attention to detail, they have created a unique bar, restaurant and events venue in one of Dartmouth's' most iconic buildings. They have combined the historic and traditional structure with industrial maritime chic to create a welcoming atmosphere with a modern vibe.

​They look forward to welcoming you to this family & dog friendly bar, with a beautiful sunny courtyard. It is an evolving and ever-changing business, now offering an exciting mix of private functions, guest chefs, workshops and events.

Beer, Lager & Cider on Tap!

SEIZE THE BEER....
Venture off around the world with our excellent selection of beers & ciders.
And, of course, we’ve got bottled beers too!

​STAROPRAMEN

Staropramen, a traditional Czech Pilsner is brewed using the finest ingredients including premium Czech hops. It has a fine hoppy, slightly fruity aroma and a refreshing balanced taste.

ASPALL

Aspall Draught Suffolk Cyder is a crisp, off dry cyder. It has a mid straw colour with a floral/appley aroma and a delicate flavour of fresh pressed apples.

DOOM BAR

Doom Bar is a perfectly balanced beer combining subtle yet complex flavours. This creates an amber ale which is both satisfying and deliciously moreish. 

ATLANTIC PALE ALE

Atlantic showcases the citrus aromas and flavours of American hops without the intense bitterness sometimes associated with New World pale ales.

MADRI

Madrí Excepcional is a unique collaboration between the brewers of La Sagra & Molson Coors, with all the taste characteristics of a Mediterranean style lager, full of flavour & aroma.
