The Cuckoo

Head down to Old Colwyn and you'll find The Cuckoo doing what a good pub should—nothing fancy, no pretence. It's the kind of place where you'll recognise faces if you're local, but you won't feel like an outsider if you're not. The bar's got character, the kind that comes from years of conversation rather than interior design budgets. You're looking at decent cask ales, a proper pour, and food that doesn't try too hard but delivers when it counts.
