The Albion Vaults, Conwy

Wonderful pub, full of original features, very interesting. Best Stella Artois for miles, has CAMRA award for being one of the very few pubs in Wales to retain original features. Well worth visiting especially for anyone who likes to drink in a real old-fashioned pub not one that's had the original fittings taken out and replaced by replicas from B&Q.
Original mahogany gantree and counter, beams, three separate rooms with different characteristics. Very much a local's pub where 'everyone knows your name' but welcomes visitors. Customers are nice and friendly. Incidentaly, my husband is one of the 'old guys' who play dominoes - he's 52 and has drank in the Albion since he was too young to be served.
