Last APG visit: 19/11/2011
Background: A comfy, stuffy hotel bar that appears to be slowly allowing more non-residents in, thanks to a decent ale range.
Student factor: Some occasional overseas students, though mainly aged residents and well-to-do locals.
Atmosphere: Quiet but relaxing. Lovely views of the seafront if you grab a window seat. Heated like an old folks home, so great during the winter months.
Drinks range: Not so bad, actually. A decent ale range (Welsh micros) over two pumps get it into the GBG but quality isn't in the same league as the Ship and Castle. Otherwise, a small range of keg and a few spirits (with an interesting whisky selection).
TV/Music: Some loungey muzak, but mainly it's the gentle crashing of the surf outside.
Other stuff: There's posh nosh available. Check out the crazy opposing mirrors that create a weird labyrinthine-feel when you look into them. Trippy.
Quinno’s verdict: If you fancy a relaxing pint in the peace and quiet with a lovely sea view, this could be up your street.

Disagree with you about the Evan Evans - the Cwrw is a damn good pint, well-kept at the BV. Seasonal May Fly and Full Tilt also worth trying.
John B,
I can only report what I found - neither of them were, in my opinion, nothing to write home about on that particular day - an off day maybe? I should be back in there over the summer so I will update the entry to reflect that (as I do with the others on the site)
Either way, Cwrw is a good pint when well-kept, I can't disagree with you about that!
