Sadly, no longer serving real ale and trading mostly on its now ubiquitous nation-wide fame as the home of "Dead Man's Fingers" spiced rum. Still has a good atmosphere however and an interesting food menu.

Great view but the place felt dirty.
I'm glad the girl warned me about the pint I ordered before she poured it as it was £6.00 flippin quid!
Expected better.
4/10

As the name suggests, it specialises in rum (and cocktails) but there are a couple of local handpulls priced at £3.80 which included Cornish Chough's Kilcobben IPA and Cornish Crown's One Hop One Grain last week (although they had been replaced by other offerings by the weekend). Also sells about 20 world beers in bottles - I tried the Erdinger Dunkel for £5.90 which I enjoyed (I would have made myself enjoy it regardless at that price). The ale wasn't quite the best in town but was heavily outweighed by the relaxed vibe and Captain Jack Sparrow-ness of the place.

PAn oasis in the desert of St Skinners. No brewery tie. Penzance Potion #9 et al.
|
Now re-opened as "The Rum and Crab Shack". See further info. in my post at Blue Bar.
|
A previous incarnation of "Blue" and "Gallions" - now closed.
|
So not a pub then.

I sat in the window with my gin and tonic last summer, lazily watching the sun go down over St Ives bay listening to the best chillout music. Sheer bliss, i thought i had died and gone to heaven.

Sophisticated cocktail & wine bar attached to busy restaurant.
Quite pricy but well worth it.
