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.
