Same old place, still the same rowdy working class locals boozer and when it’s busy be prepared to be up close and personal as the main bar is a tight space. However there's now a food concession to the rear and seemingly an upturn in ale quality too. Three ales were on, 2x Wye Valley and Felinfoel Double Dragon (NBSS 4 – though the local CAMRA branch cast doubt as to whether it is actually the real stuff, either way I wolfed it down). An improvement.

Quite a locals pub, with a younger clientèle than the other three in the town. Has had an extensive refurb in the past couple of years. Has a so-so ale (Rev'd James) and a quiz machine, plus darts. Functional beer garden out back. Check out the retro Borth FC footy shirt. Loves its sport, got SKY and Setanta. Pretty popular, and can be difficult to get a seat at weekends. Rated 5

I called at a quiet time of the day, late afternoon when the other two pubs had yet to open. There's a public bar to the left with its own entrance, a central saloon or lounge bar and a dining room to the right. I expect it gets busy at holiday periods but I was the only customer. There are several hand pumps across the two bar counters, with just two beers on at the time of my visit, though another was in the process of being pulled through as I was leaving.
