Cross Keys

Head down Madoc Street towards the town centre and you'll find yourself in the kind of pub that actually feels like it belongs to Llandudno rather than just existing in it. The Cross Keys has that warm, unpretentious vibe where you can nurse a pint without feeling rushed, and the drinks selection suggests someone who actually cares about what's being poured. It's the sort of place where you'll spot familiar faces at the bar and the staff remember regulars' names—proper hospitality, nothing forced about it. Being part of Craft Union's pub group, they've got the bottle list sorted and food that goes beyond your standard bar snacks, though it never gets too fancy for its boots.
