Blue Scrumpy left this review about Maes Bangor Arms

Situated next to a caravan park, we arrived on a Saturday evening at this pub to find it closed. We tried telephone numbers (both landline and mobile) to no avail. Their Facebook page had been regularly updated until a couple of weeks ago, but had then gone mysteriously quiet. TripAdvisor denotes it as closed.

Peering through the window, we could see glasses left on tables. However, there were also copies of the local CAMRA magazine, which had only been released in April. So the closure appears to have been recent and sudden. We did later receive a reply on Messenger. I'd asked them if they were open that evening. They replied with a short, but sweet "We are not, I'm afraid".

A brand new tick for the website, we popped in on the way up to Borth for the Square Festival. I have to admit that I wasn't expecting much; the outside of the place hardly screams "pub!!!" in fact it looks more like someone's house. However, was pleasantly surprised. The inside is quite neat and spacious. The landlord was chatty (in a classic deadpan Mid-Walian way) and showed me the three ales that he'd only put on a few weeks before (it had been keg-only previously), which he said were selling well. Two were fairly mainstream (Revd James and some Greene King one) but he also has a revolving guest ale, the choices of which had been far more interesting. Sadly the guest was off as it had sold out (good news) so had one of the mainstream ones which was served well. Pub also features an outdoor covered seating area, which has some super views across the valley.

In short, a good stop and will make an attempt to return sooner rather than later.
