Anglesey has some genuinely brilliant pubs — the kind with real fires, local ales, sea views, and food that’s actually worth driving for. Here are our favourites within easy reach of Skyline House.

🍺 The Kinmel Arms — Moelfre Your closest pub and a proper local gem. Set in the heart of Moelfre’s picturesque fishing village, the Kinmel Arms blends cosy charm with a friendly, welcoming atmosphere and serves a great range of locally brewed ales and freshly prepared food made from seasonal Welsh produce. The nautically themed interior features original shipping lanterns, and the outside seating and bay window tables look directly out over the Irish Sea. Perfect for a post-walk pint or a lazy lunch. Dogs very welcome. Menai HolidaysDriftwood

🍺 The Ship Inn — Red Wharf Bay A short drive away and absolutely worth it. This 18th-century tavern sits right on the Anglesey Coastal Path on the shores of Red Wharf Bay, serving locally sourced Welsh produce with roaring open fires, beach huts, and a beer garden where dolphins have been spotted right in the bay. It also has a fascinating claim to fame — the original Land Rover design was first sketched in the sand here, and the pub celebrates this with a unique Land Rover themed dining room. Book ahead at weekends. Ship InnShip Inn

🍺 Beachcomber Bar & Grill — Benllech A popular pub on the main road through Benllech, known for its tapas menu, chargrilled meats, and an impressive gin selection — all made freshly on site. A livelier option if you fancy something a bit different from the traditional pub setting. Bulmer Leisure

🍺 The Tavern on the Bay — Benllech Offers quality dining against a mesmerising 270° panoramic view taking in the Anglesey coastline and beyond to the Great Orme — one of the most spectacular pub views on the island. A great spot for a special evening out. Use Your Local

💡 Our tip: The Ship Inn at Red Wharf Bay is a must — go for Sunday lunch if you can, and book a table in advance. It gets busy for good reason.
