Cross Keys Inn, Dolgellau

This is what appears to be a tiny old stone built pub down a narrow side street in the centre of Dolgellau. It only seems to have one door and window. On entering it is a small room with a bar in the middle and a fireplace to the right. The floor is tiled and there were a few tables and chairs and side benches. There were also a couple of dart boards. On either side of the bar were doors, the left one leading through to the back bar and a small paved garden and the right one leading through to just the back bar. This bar is a large square room dominated by a pool table so I returned to the cosy front bar. This had two hand pumps that the friendly landlady explained always had a Purple Moose beer and the other a rotating guest. On my visit they had Purple Moose Glaslyn and Robinson's Voodoo Dawn. I went for the Glaslyn (£3.00) which was in good nick. I later discovered a jukebox in here and found on it a compilation CD by Jethro Tull. To my delight track 1 was Aqualung, the pub gets brownie points for that but no rating points! I rather liked this place and returned after visiting the other Dolgellau pubs (they are all very close!).
