Black Cloak Brewery & Taproom

You'll find Black Cloak tucked away on Abergele Road, and it's the kind of place that feels like the locals have been keeping it to themselves. Walk in and you're surrounded by their own brews on tap—no corporate lager nonsense. The taproom's got that comfortable, unpretentious vibe where you can chat to the brewers about what's behind the bar, or just sit quietly with a pint and proper company. They've clearly put thought into every beer they make, and at around £4-6 a pint, you're getting quality without the London price tag. It's become the sort of spot where regulars actually know each other's names.
