The Ruthin Castle

Walk into The Ruthin Castle and you're stepping into the sort of pub that doesn't need to try too hard. Situated right on New Street in the heart of town, it's the kind of place where you'll find locals nursing pints and actually talking to each other—a rarity these days. The real draw here is the beer selection; they take their ales seriously without being insufferable about it, and the rotating guest taps mean there's always something worth trying. It's unpretentious, genuinely welcoming, and feels like it's been doing its thing for years without chasing trends.
