Ascot Tapproom, Llandudno

Micropub in the Craig y Don area of Llandudno and sister pub to Tapps in the town centre. Opening hours are much more limited here, with the pub closed on a Monday and a Tuesday, even bank holidays. They also only open during the evening Wednesday to Friday and during the daytime on a Sunday. We were only staying in Llandudno until Wednesday lunchtime and I wasn't going to be around on the Sunday. So, we jumped in a taxi to make sure we got to this one. I have to say that it was worth the visit. As Rob says, the interior is very small with very little seating space. We did manage to bag a table and were joined by others, but it's all quite intimate. Luckily, other customers who all appeared to be locals, were welcoming and the barman was friendly. Real ales on were Cwrw Ial Kaha, Purple Moose Black Rock & Conwy Welsh Pride. Ciders were Snail's Bank Raspberry Ripple, Harry's Scrummage & Gwynt y Ddraig Black Dragon. Worth the trip out from Llandudno.

A very small micropub that doesn't have an actual bar. You sort of hover around the guy who is serving. We managed to get served, but then had to go and sit outside as there was no room inside, even though there were only about 9 in the place. My pint and Ms CAMRA's half were both in good nick, but it's just as well it was fine and reasonably warm. Doesn't really work for me, but we may call in again at some point.
