The Trafalgar is another Ramsey pub that has improved since my last visit. So much so, that it was one of the 4 finalists in the CAMRA national pub of the year competition last year. I agree that it's the best pub in Ramsey, but I've found better elsewhere on the island. So, it's finalist position is somewhat of a surprise to me.
With a view over the harbour, the interior is quite traditional. It was also fairly warm and cosy on our visit. These days, there are 6 handpulls. Regular beers are Timothy Taylor Landlord & Odin Laksaa Pale, Manx Mild & Rhumsaa Bitter. The other 2 handpulls were clipped with a couple of stouts - Odin Black Claw Stout & Timothy Taylor/Northern Monk Northern Rising Unity Stout.
The barman was quite enthusiastic about beer and was recommending the Yule Ale from Odin, a plum porter that was about to come on in the week ahead. I think he was a little surprised that I'd tried it in the Thirsty Pigeon a couple of years ago.
Well worth a visit if you find yourself in Ramsey. Although, I'm not sure it's worth a special visit.

Quayside bar with an abundance of local characters. 3 cask beers to go at plus a few kegs.

Absolutely packed on the middle Saturday night of the TT. The Traf' is a great traditional local pub with decent beer on the bar. Well worth a visit if you are in Ramsey. A couple of brews on the bar, including the ever present Okells. Great place to sit outside on the quay and people watch.

Enjoyed my visit to this dog friendly pub that was busy and had a feel of being a true local with conversation buzzing. Situated by the harbour. Enjoyed Holts Fifth Sense.
