In terms of history the Cambrian Inn was one of many early 19th century inns and taverns that served the sailors, dockworkers and ship's masters who frequented the busy docklands area of Seaside in Llanelli. The original building would have been of traditional style with a thatched roof and small rooms.
In 1872 Marine Street could boast 12 licensed premises with the Cambrian Hotel, Pilot Arms, and Trafalgar Inn next door to each other. Other premises in Marine Street included the Sailors Arms, Friends Inn, Albion Hotel, Mariners Inn, Liverpool Arms, Glanmor Arms, Ship & Pilot Inn, Cardigan Arms, and the Royal Exchange.
By the 21st century the Cambrian was the only public house in Marine Street, once the main street of Seaside.
The past aside, you look at the pub at present and it resembles a typical back street pub on the surface which looks quite small in dimension from the outside.
All is not as it seems, as the inside is much bigger. It is decorated in traditional fashion and is very cosy. The lounge is very comfortable & clean whilst the bar room is quite spacious.
The lounge boasts a jukebox and football memrobilia on the wall as befits the Headquarters of Seaside AFC. The trophies are out on display in the bar area of the inn. The Cambrian has Sky TV Live Matches shown on a big screen TV too. There is also further entertaiment on offer with live music showcasing periodically.
There are also pool tables & darts to be had for further amusement. The pub serves Felinfoel Ales & brand beers. The service is both friendly & prompt whilst the cilentele are locals to the area by and large.
Well worth a visit. read more
