An elongated L shaped space with the bar area in the crook of the "L", traditional seating with continuous banquettes along the long side wall and standard chairs and tables, mostly in fours but a couple larger and some set for two. Stone flagged flooring around the bar, carpeted to the side and wood flooring to the front. The front area opens out to a cafe style pavement terrace. Decor includes local scenes and arty prints, there is a ceiling panel with tiled corner inserts and what looked to be a working fireplace on the shorter side wall. A TV is set up on high towards the rear but this was switched off.
The pub is rather food focussed with the majority of the tables set for eating and a reservation policy in operation, however there were a couple of tables set aside for drinkers as well as a few bar stools. We were however in for a meal and the food was pretty good, there is a standard printed menu plus a specials board next to the bar. Mains average out around £10-11, but a few dishes such as steaks, seafood etc are a bit more. A children's menu is available.
There are four handpumps, the beers were Courage Directors, Black Sheep Bitter, Conwy Welsh Pride and Purple Moose Snowdonia Ale which was excellent especially for a 3.6% ale.
A good spot for a meal and some decent beer to go with it, I'm guessing it may be less foody and more drinker friendly during the week especially away from the holiday season. Quiz night advertised on a Monday.

Target market is clearly Llandudno's older population and visitors, and the pub is very food focussed. There were four handpumps with Courage Best, Black Sheep, Jennings Cumberland and Broadside. One of the more expensive pubs I found at £3.10 a pint. Rather annoyingly all the tables had reserved signs, at 5.30pm on a Saturday so there was nothing I could do but prop myself up at the bar, as did others. I did enquire if they were actually all reserved or just reserved for diners, they missed the point of my question and offered to find me a table if I wanted to eat - which I suppose answered my question. Admittedly the place did start filling up after 6pm and some people had actually booked but I do hate these places that treat drinkers as second class customers. Decent pub though, nice and clean and no doubt serves it’s regulars well.
