Located on the lively North Quay in Douglas, overlooking the marina, The Barbary Coast Grill & Bar offers a modern dining experience with a relaxed atmosphere and a strong focus on flavour-packed grilled dishes. As the original venue in what is now a growing group of restaurants across the Isle of Man, this Douglas favourite has become known for its consistent food, vibrant setting, and welcoming feel.
The star of the menu is the signature Peri Peri Chicken — marinated for 24 hours in a house-made sauce developed by the head chef, and then grilled over an open flame to deliver maximum flavour in every bite. All chicken and meats are sourced from A&J Butchers, ensuring top quality and full traceability with every dish. From generous chicken platters to burgers and grilled skewers, the menu has something for every appetite.
Alongside the signature Peri Peri dishes, you’ll find a variety of grill classics, loaded fries, wraps, salads, and tasty sides, all served in a lively and casual setting. The drinks list includes everything from soft drinks and beers to hand-spun milkshakes, made using fresh Manx semi-skimmed milk and served in traditional glass milk bottles for that extra nostalgic touch.
There’s a dedicated children’s menu, and the addition of a whippy ice cream machine makes this a hit with families looking for a fun and easy place to eat. Whether you're catching up with friends, dining out with the kids, or just treating yourself to a casual evening meal, The Barbary Coast ticks all the boxes.
The venue offers both indoor seating and an outdoor terrace, ideal for making the most of those sunny afternoons and evenings by the water. The marina views and vibrant location make it a popular spot year-round, so pre-booking is recommended, especially during peak hours and weekends.
The kitchen also caters to a range of dietary preferences, including vegetarian options and dishes that can be adapted to suit different tastes. The staff are known for being attentive and friendly, adding to the relaxed charm that keeps customers coming back.
With its casual vibe, reliably good food, and great service, The Barbary Coast Grill & Bar in Douglas has become a go-to favourite on the Isle of Man — great for groups, families, or anyone after a relaxed bite with plenty of flavour. It’s also a favourite for post-work dinners, celebrations, and laid-back evenings that call for comfort food and good company.
