Quinno _ left this review about Royal Sportsman Hotel
Go left young man - whilst the right side off the porch has a small unstaffed bar the left gets you to the main event. Fairly new refurb with zingy coloured furniture and marble tables, overall fairly nice and inoffensive (these days I’ll embrace any refurb that isn’t grey or snot green). One pump with Cwrw Llyn and three of theirs on bottle. My cask was flabby (NBSS 2) and the staff friendly but clueless. Worth a nose but stick to the bottles for now; with a professional bar manager they could make themselves a contender. 5.5

Hotel with a bar and restaurant in the centre of Porthmadog. The receptionist doubled as the barmaid, but with only 2 other customers present, it didn't seem too hard a job. The bar is off to the left as you enter, with a dining room beyond that to the rear of the premises.
Seinethyn was the solitary real ale. I didn't try it, as I'd already had it earlier in the day elsewhere.
This place seems like quite a nicely appointed hotel, but as a bar, it's purely a hotel bar with little character.

The Gelert's bar here is open to non-residents and is a long narrow room on the left side of the hotel with the bar running down the right side of it. There is a garden somewhere further back that is advertised as available to non-residents. Some hotel bars can be a bit snooty but this one seemed OK with a few locals in on my afternoon visit.
On the bar there were Purple Moose Snowdonia and Glaslyn. The Glaslyn (£3.10) was in very good nick although a bit on the expensive side.
It's well worth using this place to break the walk between the town's two railway stations.
