St. Helier spots
In the heart of it all
Who says you need to leave town to find a great beer garden? St. Helier punches well above its weight when it comes to outdoor drinking spots – from the buzzing Royal Square terraces to secret gardens hiding in plain sight. These are the places to head when you want cold drinks, good vibes and the best of town life happening around you.
1. Cock & Bottle
Right in the heart of The Royal Square, the Cock & Bottle is one of St. Helier’s best-loved spots for alfresco drinks. Grab a Liberation Ale, settle into the sunshine and watch town life unfold around you. When the evening cools down, outdoor heaters keep things cosy long after sunset.
2. The Peirson
Overlooking The Royal Square, this historic pub is named after Major Francis Peirson, hero of the 1781 Battle of Jersey. In summer, tables spill out into the square, making it an ideal spot for a relaxed lunch, an afternoon pint or a leisurely evening drink.
