Imposing pub / hotel which is rightly listed and features in Camra's inventory of historic pub interiors. A good choice of beers including Bass, Hancocks HB, Jaipur and Conwy Beachcomber Blonde. The 2 I tried were in good nick. Well worth a visit.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Bull
Imposing old posting inn, formerly known as Ye Olde Bull's Head, still operating as an upmarket hotel. Very traditional public bar (with welcome real fire) and a compact side room. Smart, modern restaurant with another bar beyond. Bass and Hancock's XB available from two of three pulls on an old upright beer engine somewhat hidden behind the main bar; with Black Sheep, Big Bog Hinkypunk and Dark Side of the Moose from Purple Moose (£3.80) being dispensed from the three handpumps on the other counter.

The bar of this hotel is much as described by John below. I would only add that I was struck by the collection of jugs hanging from the beams, and the way the way that breastplates and swords compete for wall space with, of all things, a sombrero.
The real ales are served from a stand-alone unit of three beer engines which has been placed against a rear facing wall, making it hard to see what the beers on offer might be. (See photograph.) At the time of our visit these proved to be Hancocks HB, Bass and Fun Fair Big Wheel. In adventurous mood we plumped for the latter, from a brewery I hadn't previously encountered. It turned out to be a lemon-flavoured lagerish concoction, with no discernible malt flavour and just a sweet undertone to the lemon to suggest that it was a beer rather than a lemonade. We struggled to drink it but eventually gave up, and ordered a Hancocks to cleanse our palates. Despite this experience, we'd be happy to call in again if we find ourselves in Beaumaris.
