Tenby

Tenby's 14 15 16 17 Pubs

Yes, this small resort town on the South-Wales coast has 14 15 16 17 pubs (sorry, I keep on remembering more!), not all of them to it's credit, plus three or four private members clubs and a bar in the De-Valence Pavilion. All these pubs have been tried and tested over a 15 year period - some more than others! Last updated by a visit in 1997!

Bush, St Georges Street - Bass - a long time favourite set in the wall adjacent to the five arches in the town centre which was spoilt by going upmarket.

Buccaneer, St Julian Street - Bass - features live music and an extraordinary matchbox and lighter collection.

Coach and Horses, Upper Frog street - Whitbread - see My Favourite Pubs

Crown, Lower Frog Street - Courage - Originally a favourite, it underwent a 4 or 5 year refurb and re-opened to a restricted clientele (ie "We only serve couples and families" ----- "But we're the seven Karachi twins!")

Five Arches Tavern, St Georges Street - Bass - no real ale, posh lounge only, mostly for diners.

Green Man, St Johns Hill - Bass - no real ale, drunken landlord when last visited, everything the same price (ie " Whats four 7's?" ---- " er...28!?!" ---- " Okay, thats two pounds 80, please"

Hope and Anchor, St Julians Street - Bass - Pool table in the off season, close to harbour but no real ale.

Lamb, High Street - Bass - upmarket, restricted clientele.

Lifeboat Tavern, Tudor Square - Tetley - downmarket! Loud rock jukebox, noisy and aggressive.

Lord Nelson, The Norton - Bass - basement pub with glass panel in floor and pool table. Reputed to be gay bar (by my mate Bobby!).

Normandie, Upper Frog Street - Bass - Guest Real ales, posh lounge/ restaurant, less posh lounge and large childrens room with pool table.

Prince of Wales, Nelsons Walk - Bass - good food, no real ales. Top notch restaurant upstairs.

Sun, High Street - Bass - Trendies, loud music, no real ale.

Tenby House Hotel, Tudor Square - Tetley/Bass - Large lounge with occasional live music and trendies, bar side with pool table allows kids. Best Tetleys in town!

Three Mariners, St. Georges Street - Bass - Locals pub, occasional barbeques.

White Hart, The Norton - Bass? - only a single visit was enough!

Another Pub, Warren Street - Courage - hidden down the road to the railway station. Large, refurbed, quiet, couples pub the name of which escapes me.

In addition to these, many of the hotels throughout the town have bars open to non-residents - there is certainly no excuse for going without a drink!
