Looks very old fahioned traditional from the front, not overly welcome looking, modernised to a certain extent inside, nice, clean and friendly. 2 level terrace outside adds to the attraction, overlooking the sea. Good 3 real ales

First visit in 10 years on the mega crush of a day that was Easter Bank Holiday weekend. Popping inside and the bar was a bomb site, with hundreds empties and a dishwasher that sounded like it might not last the evening. Fortunately a couple of the ales were still on and I went for the Purple Moose and was rewarded with an outstanding pint (NBSS 5), supped in the lovely rear garden/beach area with an incredible sunset and about 100 other punters. On the right day this is one the finest beer gardens in Britain and the beer topped off a memorable visit.

July 2009
The Victoria is now re-furbed and re-opened. Popped in for a pint and noted that:

a) The inside looks like a sanitized Wetherspoons. An odd choice for Borth.
b) The interesting ale selection has been replaced by Rev'd James. Boring.
c) No obvious availability of ice creams, cockles or stuffed Gorillas.
d) And no multi-coloured fairy lights outside.

Can't imagine it'll be much fun on a wet November evening. We shall see. For now, it's abdicated its place as Borth's best pub. Rated 5

A really, really good pub, lots of atmosphere. Has three ales on the go (two from the fabulous Wye Valley brewery and a Rev'd James) which are usually in good condition, though the Rev'd James had to go back on our last visit. Sells cockles and ice creams (from a dark room round the back!) and has food on in a restaurant section in the rear overlooking the sea. Also has a nice beer garden (no access to the seafront though, apparently!), as well as telly and a large stuffed Gorilla called Jacko who you need to guess the birthday of for a quid. Oh, and the colourful fairy lights outside too. A winner, well worth the trip to Borth for on a wet and windy Friday night! Rated 8

A smart two bar pub, with another room upstairs (the Atlantic Bar, according to the sign) with a balcony, and an outside seating area which adjoins the beach. The right hand bar was not open when I was here, though several customers, myself included, were sat there. The action was in the bar to the left, where a vociferous crowd were watching a Liverpool game in the Champions League on TV. As the game was impossible to ignore I took my beer to the other room, where it was peaceful enough until a group of young men took the adjacent table and I was forced to eavesdrop on their conversation, which put paid to my chances of finishing the Guardian crossword. There were three beers on, and numerous other hand pumps unclipped, though with the crowd at the bar I was unable to make any notes and only recorded that my beer was Mantle Moho, a pale ale brewed in Cardigan. This was the livelier of the two pubs I visited in the evening, having "done" the Railway in the afternoon; if I had come here first I would have been glad to escape to the quiet of the Friendship, but that's just me. Others will undoubtedly prefer the Victoria.
