Opened in 2016, this tiny bar in an old stone-walled cellar is Cornwall's first micro-pub. Located up a slightly off-putting alleyway off the harbourside near the Lifeboat Inn, it can be difficult to find; look out for the A-Board as it is well worth seeking out. The friendly little pub, with a good mix of locals and tourists, has a wood-topped bar, it is furnished with bar stools and a few tables with chairs, offering space for around 20-25 customers, many accompanied by their dog. On the rear wall is a mural depicting life and characters in the town, and there is a ‘window’ with a webcam showing the harbour outside. It typically offers up to five real ales in the summer reducing to two in the winter, mainly from Cornish microbreweries and all served from wooden stillage behind the bar accompanied by two ciders. Food is limited to snacks, though you can purchase a tin of pilchards!!
