Penrhyn Bar & Grill

Lovely pub RIGHT near the beachfront, corner of a road with arcade/ice cream shop entrance on one side (road) and pub entrance just round the corner (same building). Seems a good idea for adults wanting entertainment for their kids and relaxation in the sunshine for themselves!

As non-parents we really enjoyed it too - relaxed atmosphere with lovely staff and a good selection of drinks, love that the spirits have prices on - fiance fancied trying a couple of new things (we've been trying to drink less beer to be less bloaty!) And this really helped. The pub is dog-friendly (outside at least from what we saw) and plenty of cyclists stopping off for refreshments on their travels too.

The steam train station is almost directly opposite the road with the train passing by the pub every couple of hours (depending on time of year/schedule). Lovely to watch from the pub and also a close attraction for kids and adults - we walked to Barmouth, caught the train back and of course stopped up the pub after!

This does appear to be the only pub in Fairbourne (unless we missed others) but they don't take advantage of this fact and do a really good job of making it special for everyone visiting. We felt warm and welcome here so kept coming back (rather than just sitting at the place we were staying at).

Also ordered food yesterday (both got the mega chicken burger) which was ENORMOUS but absolutely divine, so worth the food coma afterwards 😂 would have loved to try more menu items but sadly ran out of time whilst on our trip. Definitely worth a visit (or five!)

Thanks for making our trip extra special 💕

Spent a lovely day in fairbourne with my grandson playing on the steam trains & beach, come 4 o'clock we decided it's time to eat, right on the sea front is the arcade with a bar/restaurant, very friendly staff behind the bar took my order, very quick service & reasonable prices . One adult meal & a kid's meal followed by the most amazing ice cream sundae. Brilliant food, friendly staff, good value for money.

This is a lovely pub with generous food portions. Selection of beers. Child and dog friendly inside and outside! Pool table.
Accommodate dietary needs where able and fast service. It gets busy at times, this can only reflect how much people like to go.

Long wait for the food and the staff could have been a bit more cheerful but the cheesy chips were great when they arrived.

Great place for a cycle ride pitstop! We've only ever been in for a drink, but the service was very efficient, the staff were really friendly and the location is great. Nothing to complain about at all. Next time were there, we'll have a meal!

Nice location but that's were it end. The most unhelpful barman. Miserable when you supporting the local community ( ( only acoffe) but irrelevant. His attitude would not help to keep these places open, even though the tourist dependant. Will avoid if in the area again.🙄

After looking at Google pics of the outside we were slightly disappointed to see it in the daylight being a little weather beaten.
Once inside though the place looked lovely and welcoming especially the bar area.
Dogs are allowed if that either bothers or reassures you.
There is plenty of room should you want to eat away from people with dogs?
Ordering at the bar we ordered a pint of Corrs and a latte, pie and chips with gravy plus chicken curry, 50/50 chips/rice, 2 small nan breads, large poppadom with mango chutney.
My curry portion (approx £10.95)size was definitely larger than anywhere else that I've previously ordered from and a great taste.
The pie and chips (approx £10.95) was a good size too but maybe slightly more gravy needed.
The place needs a slight update but that's just my personal opinion.
Nearest carpark in right opposite with a charge but free for cars showing a blue badge.

Super portion sizes for a great price. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the one way system currently in place ensures social distancing and safety while being easy to follow! Was a lovely stop for our lunch!
