Lunchtime and busy with mostly diners including us for a snack and a drink on a warm sunny day. Lone barmaid did well to keep the crowds appeased!

Surprisingly busy mid-week. Beware the juke box which can spring to life at any moment. Seems out of place in an ultra-traditional pub.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wrexham Lager Beer Co. - WXM lager (keg) | 4.00 | | Cool, clean and refreshing. Could do with a little more body. Believe Plassey brewed a cask version at 4.2%. |
| Cwrw Llyn - Brenin Enlli | 4.00 |  | Very tired. Fear this may be the same cask which wa on last week. |
| Purple Moose - Snowdonia Ale (Cwrw Eryri) | 3.60 | Not Tried | |
| Nant (see also Bragdy'r Nant) - Mwnci Nel | 5.50 | Not Tried |

What a great place - low, beamed ceilings, open fires and friendly, enthusiastic staff. Barman keen to promote local ales.

We spent three nights at a hotel in Caernarfon and made this place our local. I have only made one entry on this site to save repitition. The staff were friendly and efficient. The use of tight sparklers meant that we sometimes had to ask for top-ups but these were given with good grace.
