The only original pub building in Old Colwyn, dating from 1844. A typical beer-drinker's local, the central bar serves a lounge area with a welcoming real coal fire and walls decorated with a variety of rugby memorabilia. The bar also serves a side room with TV and juke-box. There is a large games/meeting room at the back with two dartboards and a pool table. Outside is a heated and covered smoking area.
The Sun was built c.1844 and retains fittings from an inter-war refurbishment. This drinkers’ pub has a bar that dates from the 1930s with a modern top although the bar back looks more of the 1960s with odd Formica shelves. To the left a wide arch has replaced the door to the small room, which has seating probably from the 1960s and copper top tables of a similar vintage, but the fireplace is modern. To the right is a 1930s partition, which has seen a panel removed to gain access to another small room, the original corner door having been blocked up many years ago. It retains one 'Vaults' window from the 1930s, fixed seating looks of a similar date, but the fireplace looks more 1960s. At the rear left past the cellar with a '3' on the door is a large long room which has been in use for many years and up to c.1990 there was a separate servery in here.
Sadly, the two sections of bench seating which still had the fitters labels 'B Goodall Complete House & Hotel Furnisher, Burton-on-Trent on them at each end were moved and decimated in 2009.
This Pub serves 3 changing beers and 0 regular beers.
