Cross Keys, Llandudno

A proper village local, the bar on the left immediately on entering and another two rooms with a view across to the bay. The licensee and the locals were friendly and very keen to talk to a passing stranger. Four hand pumps with three beers on (see photo). I had a dilemma, as I always go for beers from Leatherbritches but I also like to drink local, so I went for the Facets Flintshire Bitter 3.7% (very good, £4.60/pint). This is a tremendous locals pub, and if you're not local you soon will be.

Village pub with 3 small rooms. There is a front bar area where locals and their dogs were crowded into on our late Saturday afternoon visit, another room at the rear and a third room off to the right-hand side where windows overlook a valley with plenty of caravans. The regular beer is Facer's Flintshire Bitter. 2 guests were Courage Directors & Salcombe Shingle Bay. The real cider fetched from the cellar was Gwynt y Ddraig Happy Daze. Parking in this village can be a bit of a nightmare. The locals were complaining about it too.
