Park Place, Ruthin

Improved since my last visit, which was a few years ago. A multi-roomed pub with a pool table to the right of the front entrance. A cobblestone-like flooring greets you as you enter here. The front entrance is also where the 2 handpumps are found. Only 1 handpump was dispensing a real ale which was DHB by whoever.

When I first passed the "Park Place" I wasn't sure that it was a pub. With the sign board missing and no Inn or Hotel indication, I thought it might have been a Guest House or residential flats. I entered into a small lounge which with it's dark boarded floor was more like a public bar. At the other side of the bar was a much larger public bar, with a boarded floor at one end and attractive mosaic tiling on the rest of the room. This room had a large TV screen. Next to this room was a separate pool room. The bar has one handpump with Real Ale being a fairly recent addition. They are alternating through the 'Marstons Range' with Pedigree making it's first appearance. During my stay I was the only user of the handpump with most of the customers drinking lager or direct from WKD or Corona type bottles. In spite of this, the Pedigree was on good form.
