The Seaglass Inn

Nestled in the charming seaside town of Port Seton on Scotland’s scenic East Lothian coast, The Seaglass Inn is a lively and welcoming bar & kitchen that has become a favourite stop for locals and visitors alike. Located on Links Road, just a short stroll from the harbour and the windswept beaches of the Firth of Forth, this inn perfectly blends traditional pub hospitality with contemporary style and coastal charm.

The venue we see today is the result of a major transformation of the former Wemyss Hotel. In 2019, a significant refurbishment, led by a mother-and-daughter team, revitalised the space with fresh interiors, modern furnishings, and improved outdoor areas. The reopening brought a burst of life to this local hub, creating an inviting spot that caters to a wide range of guests, from families and friends to solo travellers and regulars (and four legged friends!).

Step inside, and you’ll find a bright, airy interior where rustic meets contemporary. Large windows allow natural light to filter through, reflecting the coastal setting beyond, while stylish décor gives the inn a relaxed yet sophisticated feel. The layout includes comfortable seating areas perfect for lunch, dinner, or a casual drink, ensuring that whether you’re dining or simply enjoying a pint, the atmosphere feels both warm and convivial.

At its heart, The Seaglass Inn is all about great food and drink. The menu draws inspiration from classic pub fare with a twist, featuring grilled dishes, fresh seafood, hearty mains and seasonal specials that reflect the bounty of the Scottish coast. Locals and visitors regularly praise the quality of the food, from traditional fish and chips and the Seaglass steak pie to inventive offerings that cater to various tastes and diets, including vegetarian and gluten-free options.

The bar is well stocked with an array of drinks, from local ales and craft beers to fine wines and spirits. Whether you’re settling in for a cosy evening with a dram or raising a glass to a meal with friends, the selection compliments the food and enhances the social vibe that makes this place feel like a home away from home.

One of the joys of The Seaglass Inn is its versatility. It’s equally suited for a relaxed lunch after a morning beach walk or for an evening gathering with music, hearty food, and lively conversation. Patrons often comment on the friendly and attentive service, staff go out of their way to make guests feel welcome and comfortable, contributing to repeat visits and positive word-of-mouth recommendations.

Outside, on sunnier days, the outdoor seating area invites you to soak up the fresh sea air while enjoying your meal or drink, a perfect compliment to the inn’s relaxed, coastal vibe.

In short, The Seaglass Inn is more than just a bar & kitchen, it’s a community fixture in Port Seton, where the warmth of Scottish hospitality meets delicious food, great drinks, and a setting that reminds you why seaside towns hold such enduring appeal.
