urmyc.hcabrab@ofni(01286) 673111
Under the looming shadow of Caernarfons imposing castle lies the self-proclaimed smallest bar in Wales - note it does not claim to be the smallest pub in Wales. As a business it is part of the popular Caffi Maes on Castle Square but for this bar you go around the corner to where a narrow entrance gives access to a charmingly intimate bar. While it does indeed occupy a small area it is deceptive in that it leads to another longer room on a lower level with upper floors where the cafe operates. The bar itself looks as though it has existed for decades, maybe much longer, rather than being fairly recent (2014). There is plenty of exposed stonework, a small fireplace, and dark wooden furniture of different styles that give it a well lived-in feel. Inevitably there are pictures of the castle on the walls. Handy for the Welsh Highland Railway and other local attractions. Opening hours are variable and some report erratic.

Restoration of the community pub was mainly with volunteer labour and the pub reopened in 2021. Nicely refurbished with old photos and an old pub sign on the wall. There's a smaller front room and a larger back room. A family friendly pub (high chairs available) that is enjoyed by locals and visitors.
One ale from local breweries, including the Cwrw Llyn brewery, around half a mile away, and another Welsh beer from further afield are served. About half of the keg beers are also local Welsh beers, including from Cwrw Llyn and Wild Horse. There has recently been a community garden with a gazebo created by the pub, which is used by the community.
The pub has diversified by opening an outdoor events space to help improve health and wellbeing, tackle loneliness and give the opportunity for locals to learn new skills. See the CAMRA article for more details.

The bar is located within the main station building for the Talyllyn Railway, the country's - possibly the world's - first preserved steam railway. The building links the souvenir shop with the small bar located in what is a licensed cafe which then leads into the impressive museum (free entry but only open when trains are running). The cafe is open daily, even when the trains are not running in the winter (closed January). However, phoning ahead to check would be a safe bet. One pump sells cask beer but if this is not available, there is a wide selection of bottled beers from Welsh breweries. For details on food serving times, which can vary, it is best to visit their website. You can take your drinks outside to tables and seats on the platform.
