Not Llanberis' strong point I am afraid. There is the Prince of Wales, several hotels with bars, the
Victoria Hotel and, my favourite, the Vaynol Arms down the road at Nant Peris.

The Prince of Wales is a 'local' pub.

The Padarn, Dolbadarn both have reasonably nice hotel bars.

The heights always strikes me as a little manic, lively with food which is kind of like Pete's Eats
after closing time - although when I was there over New Year the restaurant was closed.

The Victoria Hotel (named after the Queen stayed there for a night) has seen better times, but is
quite friendly and does reasonable bar meals.
 
NONE!

It's a very poor place if you a wanting good evenings. There are a couple of bars attached to hotels
but if you are not welsh and don't speak their language then prepare to be ignored. Where we stayed,
the Galt-Y-Gyll hotel, on the edge of town was the only place we were welcome.

I was trying to be more diplomatic, but you're not far off!

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.

I've used the Llanberris Lake Hotel and would certainly recommend it. Their food is good and
wholesome and the staff pleasing and pleasant.

The proprieter is an interesting chap and will certainly make you welcome. The hotel is clean, smart
and well appointed.

Hope this helps

I find most of them OK and reasonably welcoming... all down to the peculiarities of the individual I
guess and perhaps their reaction to different cultres. Do you get abroad much?
