Last APG visit: 19/05/2012
Very swish and very modern (opened 2007) hotel and gastropub situated in the old Harbourmaster's house on the quayside. The interior bar is very nouveau-posh - slate, aluminium, glass, local art and cushions, along with huge copper lights above bar and a stuffed albatross in a case. Used to have a couple of ales on sale from Welsh micro brewers but they now seemed to have settled on the Purple Moose people and they're served in top condition - Good Beer Guide quality.
Signs are bilingual - nice touch. The massive glass frontage of the entrance to the bar makes for lovely views in the summer and a 'thank god I'm in here and not out there' feel in the winter when it's pissing down and a howling gale is coming in from the Irish Sea. If you can blag a seat outside, it's also a wonderful venue to catch the setting sun on a summer's evening.
The food menu looks nice (if expensive) though some value can be found in the pizza range. We at APG are also very fond of their cushions:
There's a lot to like here (the glowing write-ups from several national broadsheet 'style' supplements are hung on the corridors):
I'd highly recommend getting the bus down here from Aber to sample it (a lovely scenic journey on a nice day), as it's fast becoming the one of best pubs in the APG area. Expect it to be very busy at peak times.
