The Alex Bar & Grill - Llandudno

Head down to Clonmel Street and you'll find the kind of place that doesn't need to shout about itself. The Alex does straightforward, well-executed food—grilled meats and fish done right—in a setting that feels genuinely welcoming rather than trying too hard. It's the sort of neighbourhood bar and grill that works equally well for a weeknight pint with mates or when you want something decent to eat without the faff. The crowd's mixed: locals propping up the bar, couples tucking into dinner, groups making an evening of it.
