Reputedly haunted, this black-and-white coaching inn is the oldest in Bala, dating back to at least 1692. Inside, it has a spacious L-shaped lounge with a large stone fireplace and pictures of old Bala on the walls. There is also a smaller bar and games room. The heated smoking area has a dartboard. A wall panel tells of the whisky distillery that was situated nearby. The Wrexham to Barmouth bus stops outside.
