| Worth visiting if only to enjoy the vibrant, nautically-themed interior (mind your head). My pint of Treen's Classic was only average so I didn't bother trying their Essential or the St Austell Proper Job. paul_d102 - 24 Sep 2023 22:13 |
| Amazing place. A little like the Highwayman inn at Sourton near Okehampton but better. Nooks and crannies, very cosy and artifacts everywhere all with a nautical theme. I will pop back again when next in Penzance which for me surely has the bast pub crawl ever started from the railway station! 10/10 montie49 - 6 Aug 2019 18:05 |
| Strange place that certainly wins the award for most quirky pub in Penzance. It has many different seating areas and many many naval artefacts around the walls and ceilings. But the ale selection is disappointing. The eponymous Sharp's Doom Bar & St Austell Tribute were accompanied by Treen's Essential. I went for the Treen's ale. But the seating I selected was fairly uncomfortable and it was next to a group of rugby fans who'd clearly consumed a few too many. Worthy of a visit to admire the interior. But don't expect anything special ale-wise. blue_scrumpy - 3 Sep 2018 19:33 |
| Has been up for sale for some time and finally sold in the past couple of weeks for considerably less than the original asking price. The main reason for this being that the building needs a huge amount of investment.....re-wire, new commercial kitchen, installing heating....it currently has none.... just for starters . Presumably someone with very deep pockets has bought it, (its also grade2 listed), and hopefully will spend the money to bring it back to its former glory. ridleyman - 9 Feb 2018 14:10 |
| I walked to this pub from the station via the promenade and the nearby, delightful, Morrab gardens. It has one of the most bizarre and intensely decorated interiors I have ever seen in a pub. You almost need a guided tour to make the most of it , which I undoubtedly didn't with my one pint visit. But, a fabulous, intriguing venue and a national and regional treasure. I was delighted to find the wonderfully bitter, Dartmoor Best on sale. Which I was able to relax and enjoy as, in spite of all its historic features this is also a proper pub, where I felt instantly at home. tarkatherotter - 18 Sep 2016 10:07 |
