I have been going for over 20 years and have never seen the lager louts/ASBO types/a fight etc etc that have been mentioned here. The staff are great and you get all sorts of customers from kids to grannies. Yes, the toilets are a disgrace, though, and have been the same since I first went. They don't put me of... more

If you like lager louts and screaming girls who are sick on the streets after the inevitable fight between the ASBO customers then this is the place for you.

Toms Tours spent a long weekend in Torre and happened to stumble across the Open Arms. What a great bar.... Paul the gaffer is a top host with his cockney swagger. The Karaoke song list is endless though don't expect Paul him to get your name right when he calls you up (how on earth Gary can become Chilli ........ more
