Padarn Lake has a good quiz nights on Thursdays. Prince of Wales has hymn singing on Saturdays
(nice!). Dolbadarn has always been empty when I've gone there. Down the road in Cwm y Glo is Y
Fricsan. Pen y Gwryd just over Pen y Pass is superb (if they're open). Try Pen y Bont in Llanrug for
an authentic pub experience. If particularly brave, try the Wellington or Bull (nice quarry photos)
in Deiniolen. Vaynol Arms in Nant Peris serves Robinsons which to my taste is a bit hit and miss.
I've been told it doesn't travel well from Manchester.
