Cribbar - Lushingtons - a nice summer beer.

The Cribbar is a large modern pub near Towan Beach in Newquay, Cornwall. The atmosphere is actually…read moresomewhere between a pub and a cocktail bar, and the range of real ales is very limited. I settled for a pint of Skinner's Lushingtons Sunshine Pale Ale, which was fresh and crisp. The Cribbar offers the full gammut of alcoholic and soft drinks, as well as typical British pub grub. The location is not quite so great (not close enough to the beach, and with no great view), in fact it seems a bit "lost". Sports TV is available, and of course, the football World Championships were on. (Fairly unattractive) outside seating is also available. By far the most original aspect of The Cribbar is the toilet - differently colored urinals and fairly elaborate installations - including a sofa???! Someone's imagination got away from him there. Very clean, too. Really, no place to linger for me, but fine for what it is - Newqay is not known as the real ale capital ... of anything.

I haven't seen a Wetherspoons looking quite like this before. I'm not sure if I like it or not. It…read moreis certainly an interesting departure from the norm. I have definitely never been in a brighter one. The toilets are particularly colourful! I enjoyed a curry (I've always rather enjoyed the Wetherspoons curries) and a nice pint of Chough gold. I don't generally make a point of taking my camera out in the gents, but (See photo below)

The Towan Blystra (christened after the ancient Cornish name for Newquay, "Tewynplustri",…read moreanglicised to Towan Blystra) is the beach town's popular, pre-eminent JD Wetherspoon pub, with all the trimmings: cleaner than average toilets, (far!) cheaper than average booze, cheaper than average (but generally decent) food, a pleasant outside seating area, but - alas, also: a generous helping of lowlifes and riff-raff, especially towards the time the sun is setting on Newquay. Located not far from the Great Western Hotel, it's very well connected by bus (and that's important for people who drink like the British drink on late evenings). Atmosphere is generally relaxed, but can get a little more rambunctious as the evenings progress - due to the local boozers for whom this is one of the more popular waterholes. Tourists should generally be careful! But the prices for booze and food are the most competitive in all of Newquay (It's a Spoon after all!) - and Newquay is not a cheap place to spend your holidays. Rotating guest ales guarantee that the friendly patron (along with the less friendly) will find fresh and well-kept beers available at all times, but during peak hours ordering food and drinks can be a test for your patience, as Spoons are notoriously understaffed. The menu is streamlined, you'll basically get the same stuff at all the Spoons. Only prices vary a bit. Watch out for the Mo-Fr & Sunday daily "Clubs", which offer meal deals for a specific selection of dishes. General advice for tourists on weekend nights: Don't go there, seek out a less busy place. Otherwise, not a bad option in Newquay.

Came here three times while staying in Newquay and the beer was on the money each time; Interesting…read moreoptions in good condition. Ate here too and the food was pretty good. The layout is ok, the terrace out just above the road level probably being the stand out feature. Pubs name is the old Cornish name for Newquay.
