The Best Nights Out in North Wales

North Wales is popular with tourists from all over the UK and beyond – because of its stunning natural beauty, its countryside and its various trails and walking holiday potential. But if you’re worried that you’ll be left wanting when it comes to a bit of nighttime action, then fear not.

Yes, this is very much a ‘day’ oriented holiday hotspot, but there’s also a pretty great nightlife scene, with some gorgeous traditional pubs – alongside more modern bars, cool live music venues, and even some gaming action thrown in if you’re feeling a bit more adventurous. Whether you’re a local or someone visiting the region, there’s plenty to do to make sure you get a great night out.

So, with that being said, here are some of the best places to pass your evenings away…

The Albion Ale House in Conwy

Conwy is a beautiful seaside destination – famous for its stunning castle that dominates the landscape. Once you’ve wandered along the beach, explored the history and visited the teeny tiny house, you might want to relax for the evening – and right in the heart of Conwy, we have The Albion Ale House – which is a must-visit if you enjoy a nice pint of beer. 

This is a historic pub that has an excellent selection of real ales from local breweries – and you get to enjoy a proper Welsh pub experience. If you’re after a cosy atmosphere in a place that’s filled with history, this is the perfect spot to start your evening.

Tapps in Llandudno

If you’re looking for a more modern but intimate setting, then Tapps in Llandudno is a great choice. This is a super cool micro-pub that offers a perfectly curated selection of craft beers and ciders. The staff are brilliant – knowledgeable and always there, ready and on-hand to recommend the drink that would best suit your palate. What’s more, with its central location, it’s a super convenient stop if you’re looking for a top day or night out in Llandudno and you can even check out the famous pier.

The Railway Inn in Abergynolwyn

If you’re heading out in the southern part of North Wales (if that makes sense), then The Railway Inn in Abergynolwyn is a gorgeous hidden gem that’s well worth a visit. This is a pub that’s earned a reputation for its warm and welcoming hospitality – and some seriously yummy homemade food – which makes it the perfect place to enjoy a relaxed evening out. What’s more, you might even be treated to some live music sessions, which adds even more to its charm.

The Valentine Inn in Llanddulas

Love is in the air with this option! Situated in the very heart of Llanddulas, step inside The Valentine Inn, and you’ll get to experience a completely unique and quirky atmosphere – one that you’ve likely never seen before. 

The Valentine Inn has a somewhat eclectic décor and friendly staff – and definitely offers a very memorable experience for all visitors – in the best way possible. If you’re there during summer, it also has a beautiful garden area which is a great way to take in the whole ambience.

Grosvenor Casino

If you’re someone who likes a bit of gaming action – winning on games and looking for under 1 hour casino withdrawals, either online or in person, then there’s some excellent action to be had – and Grosvenor Casino is the place to be. 

Offering lots of different gaming options, including poker, blackjack, and roulette, it’s perfect for everyone – and if you’re lucky, you’ll get to cash out all your winnings super quickly and either spend it in the bar or restaurant – or save it for a rainy day.
