Embargo opened in April 2019, taking over a small spot on Marine Road Central with views across the bay. It settled into the seafront at a time when Morecambe was quietly finding its feet again. It has recently been taken over the by team behind The Dispensary in Heysham and I wish them all the luck with their new venture. Like much of the town, it’s about keeping going and adapting as needed. Today, Embargo sits comfortably as part of the modern seaside mix, reflecting how Morecambe has changed without losing its relaxed, everyday feel.

Inside it feels small, relaxed, and easy to settle into. There’s an open layout with the bar front and centre, and seating dotted around so people can sit, stand, or drift about without it feeling awkward. The lighting is warm and soft, giving it a cosy, laid-back vibe. Décor is modern but simple, nothing flashy, with muted colours and a clean look. Big front windows bring in daylight and keep things feeling open. Overall, it’s the kind of place that feels comfortable straight away, more about hanging out than making an impression.

On the bar a selection of 3 cask ales along with a variety of keg craft options to choose from, with changes to the craft selection incoming with the new owners.
