As of 03.02.2012, this is The Albion Ale Bar. They do not serve nasty, fizzy keg beers, but do have…read moresome superb local real ale; at time of writing, a choice of four plus a real draught stout. There are three areas a lounge, the bar area and a smoke room, in which, of course, no smoking is allowed. The lounge and the smoke room both have wonderful open fires essential as I am writing this. The welcome from the knowledgeable staff is also warm and the locals are very friendly to we incomers. There are no TV's, no juke-box and no food (other than bags of Tyrrell's crisps) so that conversation dominates. Upper Gate Street is also the road which leads directly to the Youth Hostel, making this the first pub hostellers encounter heading into town a definite plus for us!

Once upon a time the Albion was the favoured haunt of some of Conwy's most hardened drinkers,…read morealbeit one of some architectural merit (it is in fact a Grade II listed building). In recent years it hit hard times and was eventually closed down. However there has been a recent development that will be of interest to proper beer drinkers. The pub has been purchased by a mysterious London based banker with roots in North Wales. He's re-opened it partnership with four local breweries The Conwy Brewery, the Great Orme Brewery, Bragdy Nant Brewery as well as the Purple Moose Brewery from Porthmadog. The pub is now a dedicated real-ale boozer with a particular emphasis on locally produced ales. There won't be any food (apart from crisps) as the premises doesn't have a kitchen so it will still be a drinker's pub but hopefully one with a more discerning clientele than of days gone by.

I've recently visited the Castle View for the first time since it changed from being Maggie…read moreMurphy's (many years ago). Before going I checked out the menu on their website and was a bit surprised by the prices, which are quite expensive for what at the end of the day is a pub in North Wales. I'd more or less decided in advance to go for the Welsh steak & ale pie which at £12.95 was just about a fiver more expensive than the steak & ale pie on offer at my more familiar haunt, the Afon Conwy which is just a few miles away. I was hoping for a very special pie! First things first the pub has a large car park so parking was no problem. The interior is very nicely done albeit in a fairly predictable gastropub decor. The dining area lives up to the venue's name with several tables along the side of the building offering views of Conwy Castle just over the water. The staff were friendly and efficient although there weren't many other customers to keep them occupied so they weren't anywhere close to being kept busy. Foodwise I went with the steak and ale pie which was fortunately very good and very well presented. My wife had a Caesar salad which was also excellent. The kids opted for chicken goujons and fish and chips from the kids menu, which at £7.25 each were two of the priciest kids meals we've encountered in this part of the world. Again though they were excellent, the goujon meal came with the two biggest goujons I've ever seen and the fish was a generous portion. The best compliment I give though is that both plates were cleared, something that doesn't always happen with my kids. As always there had to be someone who ordered something I ended up wishing I'd ordered and in this case it was father-in-law whose beer battered cod turned out to be a huge piece of fish which looked to be have been perfectly cooked. As this is one of the cheapest meals on the main menu I think if I ever go back that might be the one to try. All in all the food, and accompanying drinks, were all excellent and every plate was cleared. It's just a shame it's so expensive in comparison to other places in the area. It was noticeable that the place was very quiet when we visited, in fact it was almost deserted apart from the staff. It's a real shame given the quality on offer and I was left wondering if maybe they'd get more business if they knocked a quid or two off the prices? Certainly I'd more inclined to revisit if this were the case.

This is not a place I would recommend. While in Conwy, we decided to get a bite to eat. We chose…read moreGeorge & Dragon because we wanted something a step up from Fish & Chips but not too overly priced. The prices are this place are great but the food and service are lacking. This may be a great place for beers (did not check out the bar) but the restaurant was not very hospitable. the table cloths had food spots and so did much of the silverware. The waitress also appeared completely uninterested in helping the customers. She pushed off most customers to the bar rather than serving them in the restaurant. The food was just awful. There were 4 of us in the party and none of our food was what we expected, from the scampi to the corned beef hash. I would look elsewhere from grub in this town. There seem to be many other options.

The Location is perfect, just a few hundred yards from the Quay and Conwy Castle. The creation of a Beer Garden at the rear makes it ideal for Families, Al Fresco Dining or just lazy Summer Nights. They also have a small B&B and a Function Room for private parties or Weddings. The Pub serves Traditional Homecooked Pub Grub & a selection of Daily Specials. It has a well stocked Bar and a good range of Real Ales. The Food is nothing to shout home about (although better than it once was) ... but good value and they do use some local produce like the famous Edwards of Conwy Sausages. Day to Day it is popular with locals and older clientele but in the Summer its packed with Tourists.

Located in the village of…read moreCapelulo at the base of some pretty spectacular topography with a sweet little babbling brook nearby (and stunning ocean views), the Fairy Glen is a proper pub with good ales on tap (I liked the Crag Rat) and decent (extremely filling) food. On my visit, the folks behind the bar were friendly and the locals didn't seem to mind me rambling in with a backpack and SLR. It would be an ideal pub of an evening with friends by the fire and then a wobbly walk home to a nearby cottage. As I only popped in for lunch and a pint, I can't comment on the accommodations. But I will say that, given the awesome location, I wouldn't be against staying here for a night or two.
