The mayquay

You'll find yourself on the Kinmel Bay stretch of Foryd Road, where The Mayquay sits right where the water meets the promenade. It's that kind of place where locals genuinely outnumber tourists, which tells you something. The pub does the basics brilliantly: real ales that rotate regularly, a kitchen that doesn't overcomplicate things, and enough of a buzz on weekends to feel alive without being rammed. The waterfront location means you get actual views rather than just another boozer stuck between a charity shop and a vape shop.
