- Mary MMaybole, United Kingdom24 contributionsSmallest barDropped into this lovely little pub as it had been recommended by the lady in Caffi Maes round the corner and I can say it was worth the visit. Even though it is small you didn’t feel out of place with the locals.Written August 30, 2019

- Christine494 contributionsQuaint and quirkyWe popped into this bar during our visit to Caernarfon. Wow, what a welcome awaited us. The curly haired guy was ever so friendly, just what we needed on this dull day. We've got to say he's an asset to the establishment. However, every member of staff who we meet were also made us feel welcome. We didn't have anything to eat, just enjoyed the beer and ambience. Thought from what we could see the food looked well presented and we never saw any food left on the plates. We would definitely recommend this if you are in the area. Thank you for your great hospitality!Traveled as a coupleWritten August 23, 2018

Tourists may well like this place near the castle but for me it’s one of the worst places in Caernarfon been in twice since it opened never again rude owner overpriced poor quality beer avoid if possible far better public house in Caernarfon

Billed as the smallest bar in Wales, it is certainly larger (14 seats?) than the smallest pub in England (The Nutshell, Bury St Edmunds)! Comfortable, friendly service and great real ale. It gives the appearance of being larger because of the adjoining restaurant. We'll worth a visit unless you are part of a large bus tour!!

The beers is incredible. But let’s be honest chaps the place is pretty spacious - no way you’re the smallest bar in Wales.

What a little jem! Apart from being reputedly the smallest bar in wales, it is also Dor friendly! Brilliant atmosphere, amazing choice of beverages and really good food.
Right opposite the castle entrance, it's a perfect place to chill out without breaking the bank. Well worth a visit!

I was dragged into this place by my sister .
I chose a Japanese whiskey, and my sis had a Turkish delight flavoured gin.
Both were excellent, and the bar area snug warm and cheerful.

Whilst crabbing off the pier, we decided to sneaky a cheeky g&t at the smallest bar in Wales. We were met with a fantastic choice and an incredibly friendly barman.
The Turkish Delight gin was superb and we will definitely return to try some more of the exotic and unusual stock.
Great place! :)

The smallest bar?? BAR yes is small but it has a cellar error with seating. I have no issue, the place had a great choice of drinks and the cellar was a nice place to sit with good atmosphere. Will be going back.
