Last APG visit: 03/03/2011
Background: Not to be confused with the Inn on the Pier complex, this is instead the bar of the Pier Hotel which in recent years has been extended from a small and permanently quiet drinking room into something more resembling a full-on pub, without actually quite being one. Has had a very recent scrub-up and IKEA-style pine overhaul inside, making it look more of a bar. Have to admit I preferred it the way it was - it certainly never used to need a bouncer outside on a Saturday night.
Student factor: A few, but more of a locals place overall. The occasional student crawl stops off here.
Atmosphere: Not bad, gets rowdy when the inevitable Saturday hen night crowd from Penrhyncoch arrive and the place turns into a grab-a-granny session. Otherwise quite quiet during the week, good for a few beers with your friends.

Drinks range: Pretty good considering its size -it manages to pack in two of the Banks’ ale range which often come out well. Does a nice line in jelly baby flavoured vodka and you can get a two-pint glass of lager.
TV/Music: An eclectic mix of 70’s and 80’s from the jukey.
Other stuff: Darts and pool. The nudie quiz machine looks to have disappeared.
Quinno’s verdict: A decent visit, put it on the crawl list for the jelly baby vodka and two-pint servings.

Hi Quinno, I have a question about the Pier Hotel. Should it still be listed as open, as it has an up to date website? Do you know if it has bar facilities? It dosen't mention it on the website. Like the website by the way.
