Architecturally important and impressive historic Grade-II listed pub dating from 1664 in which tradition has it Daniel Defoe met Alexander Selkirk, who became the inspiration for Robinson Crusoe, and which was also the inspiration for The Admiral Benbow pub in Stephenson's Treasure Island. The pub is alleged to be haunted. It reopened in June 2021 after being closed for over two years and it has been reinvented as an alehouse whilst retaining its dignified charm with distinct drinking areas. The opening of several rooms on the first floor has increased capacity considerably. Up to five changing cask ales are served along with 28 keg lines, from UK and German & Czech Republic breweries, as well as two real ciders. Tap take overs feature, & numerous events are held regularly including Sea Shanty singing, Comedy evenings & Blue Grass music. Friday & Saturday evenings feature Techno music in the Red Room. Card payments only. Socials include Instagram, search llandoger_trow. Winter opening times are slightly shorter with the pub not opening until 14.00 on Mondays and Tuesdays from mid-November until early February.
