TUAFC would like to thank sponsors Sharpy’s Sports & Music Bar for their continued support.
Sharpy’s Sports & Music Bar is located in the heart of Newton Abbot. The bar shows live sports on large screens throughout the premises, whilst also serving a variety of hot and cold beverages and great food – there’s something for all the family!
Open seven days a week, the Bar also hosts live music every Saturday and has a darts board. A family-friendly bar, Sharpy’s aims to show all sports where possible, with their main events being football, rugby union and boxing. The Newton Abbot based business also has a number of well-known brands on tap including Atlantic Pale Ale, Cold River Cider, Carling Lager and Madri Premium Lager.
Having recently undergone extensive refurbishment, the family run establishment now boasts a stage area for when they have bands and DJs performing. The Bar also proudly displays a variety of sports memorabilia on the walls, including football shirts of local teams and players.
After meeting United players Tom Lapslie and Dean Moxey and posing for some photos, Sharpy and Andy told us a bit about their business and how Sharpy’s came to be.
“We had this brainwave about eighteen months ago – Sharpy’s run bars and pubs most of his life really, and this venue became available so I approached Sharpy to see if he wanted to name it ‘Sharpy’s’ and come in and run it together, and that’s how we started it really,” began Andy.
Sharpy then went on to explain how the business has already expanded, despite the idea of opening Sharpy’s only being eighteen months ago.
“We initially opened it as a sports and music bar doing food, but now we’ve expanded it a bit further, we do deliveries – I think we’re the only bar in the UK that do kebabs, pizzas and chicken rotisserie, so we’ve expanded doing takeaways and things like that, but we still do sport and music – live music every Saturday!” Explained Sharpy.
The pair also explained about how they became a sponsor of Torquay United, with Sharpy’s Sports & Music Bar being part of our Business Members Club.
“Sharon asked us if we were willing to sponsor and we haven’t got a problem with that because it’s more or less our local team to us, so that’s why we went and did it,” explained Sharpy.
“It helps Torquay United out and it’ll help us out, hopefully supporters will start using us, drinking here, and having food, so it works both ways,” added Andy.
