Gleeson's in Isle of Anglesey

This was an added cruise port on a Sunday and pretty much everything was closed. We stumbled upon The Gleesons Public House and had a few pints and sang some karaoke. The staff was friendly and the beer was cold. They made the day!

Holyhead Wales does not have a lot to do in it, so like others from our cruise ship we visited this Public House and enjoyed a pint. The atmosphere in here is most welcoming. Enjoy!

A better friendlier pu you won’t find in Holyhead , those that give a bad review in my opinion wouldn’t know a good pub if they fell over one

It’s been along time coming but the new NORMAL took another step forward , the rear garden bar is stunning a BIG heads up to Sandra and TEAM GLEASON’s for all their hard-work getting the garden bar ready for today’s opening . 👏👏🏆💪🍻🎉🍻🍻👏👏

Gleesons pub has got that unique atmosphere that you ONLY find in Holyhead, the place where the ferry to Dublin leaves from: a mixture of Welsh and Irish! Great drinks at a great price, and of course lots of fun with the staff, the regulars and the tourists...

Rather average UK pub. Cask ales are advertised but very limited selection. Mostly the usual mass produced commercial beers. Friendly staff. Overall nothing special. Whould not repeat.

When were in town we always pop in the Gleesons , a well run bar with Sandra as the captain of ship. Attentive staff all your favourite tipples behind the bar and TV screens for sporting events. Good luck to Sandra and staff for 2020 - happy new year 🎊🎈 🥃

We visited here, really dirty, worn tatty fittings, toilets should be condemned. Tv far to loud with a soap show. Left and will never return. Owner / landlord should be ashamed .......avoid avoid avoid.

Amazing place! My cousin an I had the pleasure of waiting out the Ferry there. The bartenders were incredibly nice and friendly. The service was great and we happened to be there on a Wednesday, which is Karaoke night. Some singers were better than others but overall best last night in Wales!! Definitely check it out if you can.

The poet R.S. Thomas (who grew up in Holyhead) described it as the place "where pebbledash came home to die." Walking around the centre of the town leaves you in no doubt that this port town has seen better days, and the local council need a monumental kick up the you-know-what for their consistent failure over the past two decades to be more proactive in promoting and developing the town. Nonetheless, there is still one very good reason to come to Holyhead: Gleeson's pub on Stanley Street. Here is character in bundles, a warm welcome, well-kept cask-conditioned beer (as well as good Guinness), and none of the anti-social behaviour you find some other places I could mention. The people who run this pub care about what they do - and their customers. I have been in several times when visitors from different parts of Europe have been treated like one of the family. If you are travelling to Ireland by ship, or spending time elsewhere in North Wales, plan to spend an evening here. You will not regret it.

About the only place left on the Island with out wifi. It needs it a phone signal not very good in the area.

This place still has some character left, is friendly and usually has a couple of cask ales on (one of the few places locally which do).

Lots of fun to be had in Gleesons, we visited from Holland and were pleasantly welcomed by the landlady, Sandra. She was very helpful and friendly, as well as being a fun person whilst simultaneously running the pub. Can't reccomend it enough for a nice evening out.

Christmas Eve in Gleeson , great festive decorations, friendly staff , once again great to catch up with friend for a festive bevvy or 2 , with karaoke 🎤 thrown in everyone had a sing song and a boogie. Merry Christmas everyone 🎅🏻🎁🎄🎤😇💫

Great night plenty of festive cheer with Karaoke ,great to catch up with family and friends. A few people were a bit OTT but sorted out by Sandra and staff , one of the better ,popular bars in Holyhead Good luck for 2016

Possibly not the most attractive exterior you've ever seen, however on the several occasions we have called in we've been made extremely welcome by staff and other customers. Give it a try

Only three words are needed to sum up this gem of a pub " fan tas tic " !!!!!!! Firstly I have to say that Sandra the landlady is very welcoming and runs a very tight ship. She is ably supported by great staff and the whole operation is overseen in a more executive role by Colin. They have created a real 'home from home' with a very lively set of typical Holyhead locals. This is how pubs used to be with excellent banter ripping through the place. One previous comment stated that there were no real ales, but obviously they did not look very far as three were on offer last week. The regular karaoke is known to be the best on the island with Gav controlling these events with consummate skill. (Not sure that Burlesque is a true karaoke winner though). YOU MUST TRY THIS PUB OUT, AND KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK SANDRA,COLIN AND TEAM.

This used to became great pub,carpets scruffy and real ale very cold.thanks Quick drink and out.One of the only places you can get real ale in Holyhead

Llamamos mientras espera el ferry y recibió una simpática camarera. Un poco confundido en crítica de cerveza de tonel como mi marido estaba permitido para probar una muestra de dos cerveza local que dijo que eran muy bonitas y bien cuidado antes de hacer su elección (y él lo sabe su ale! ). Buena selección de otras bebidas también. Nos sentamos en una zona con pisos laminados, así que de nuevo confundidos sobre comentario de moqueta. Los baños son básicas pero conseguimos hablar con un representante que dice el pub es propiedad de una casera local que es invertir en el lugar, que creo que debe ser admirado no atacado. Es mejor que dejar que las cadenas destruir la economía local. Vimos carteles de karaoke para que me imagino que podría ser ruidoso en un pequeño pub, pero es publicitados ampliamente así que supongo que se podría evitarlo. Volveremos cuando nos al lado pase por - si sólo por la acogedora bienvenida.

Horrible place. Dirty carpets. Smells of smoke. Too loud music and not even decent at that. Stay away

Ok for Holyhead, but that's not saying much. Generic beer, no cask or real ale. Not worth a second visit or even second pint.

It's a nice pub with nice people good beer good sun garden out the back only thing is lady's toilet a bit small otherwise friendly staff and made to feel welcome

Popular local Pub , nice beer .Because of the recession lots of the local Pubs have closed or are struggling hopefully the Gleesons will be OK

Friendly and lively on a Saturday night. Blasting out the kaorioke (sorry spelling) with nice half of guiness too.
