A highly successful, family-run micropub located in the picturesque seaside town of Barmouth, on the edge of the stunning Snowdonia National Park.
Established in 2012, it has earned an outstanding reputation for its exceptional range of Welsh real ales and ciders, featuring 6 cask ales, one lager, and 5 ciders on draught, alongside more than 300 bottled varieties available for takeaway. The business also offers a popular line of branded merchandise, including t-shirts, glasses, and hoodies.
Known for its charm, character, and friendly, knowledgeable service, the micropub provides a warm and relaxed environment that encourages conversation and community spirit. Its dedicated customer base includes loyal locals, holidaymakers, and real ale enthusiasts from across the UK and beyond, many of whom are CAMRA members.
The venue’s excellence has been recognised with multiple prestigious accolades, including CAMRA Gwynedd & Anglesey Real Ale Pub and Cider Pub of the Year 2024 and 2025, Regional and National Cider Pub of the Year for Wales 2025, and inclusion in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide 2026.
Representing a rare chance to take on a multi-award-winning, much-loved coastal micropub, this business combines an exceptional reputation with genuine community appeal. It’s an ideal opportunity for anyone passionate about real ale, quality hospitality, and life by the sea.
Run by a husband-and-wife team with support from a part-time family member, this well-managed micropub operates efficiently with limited hours tailored to the owners’ lifestyle.
The interior exudes rustic charm, featuring exposed stone walls, 2 fireplaces, wood-effect furniture, a drinking shelf, and inviting window seating areas. Behind the bar, ample storage is provided by storerooms and 2 cellars.
Since opening in 2012, the micropub has established itself as a key social hub in Barmouth, attracting a diverse customer base across all age groups.
It is particularly popular among real ale enthusiasts and CAMRA members, who appreciate the quality, variety, and authenticity of the drinks on offer.
With its welcoming atmosphere and growing tourist trade, the business continues to thrive as both a local favourite and a destination venue.
Inventory will be supplied and is included with the sale.
There is significant scope to expand by extending operating hours to the full licensed limit of 11pm, 7 days a week, increasing trading capacity and revenue potential.
Recruiting additional staff would support this growth, enabling consistent service during extended hours. The business’s strong brand and nationwide reputation also present opportunities for geographical expansion through franchising.
Marketing could be further strengthened with targeted local and regional advertising, complementing its already powerful word-of-mouth reach.
With growing recognition from CAMRA and other industry bodies, alongside Barmouth’s thriving tourist trade and the rising popularity of micropubs, the business is well positioned to build on its success and achieve sustained long-term growth.
