Goat Hotel Bala in Gwynedd

We called in for a drink during our stay in Bala. It's a nice local pub with welcoming staff and a good selection of beers and lagers and reasonably priced.

A fabulous welcome not only to ourselves but to our two dogs from the barman on Saturday 1st June in afternoon. He brought treats and water out for the dogs , gave me information as to how to find the steam train, made us feel really welcome. If we had been staying in Bala, the Goat would be our pub of choice. Lovely feeling

Just got back from a weekend at Bala and spent most of our ‘pub time’ here! Absolutely loved this pub, the staff were so helpful and friendly, gave us menus to order in food to eat there, didn’t grumble with all the baby Guinness we ordered, really cheap drinks and a great band on Saturday to entertain us. One of the locals had a 70th party there and invited us to help ourselves to the buffet, genuinely friendly and fun people can be found in this pub! Loved it, can’t wait to visit again 🤩

Lots of nice pubs in Bala but the Goat stands out for value for money, quality of beer and friendly atmosphere. The landlord Gethin stands out as the most accommodating and friendly host you are likely to meet. Well done. Clive & Delyth.

My husband is in a wheelchair and there is a small step at both entrances to this pub but we were assisted by a chef to get in, once inside everything is easy excess and getting out ok, landlord recommended the Butty Bach from Wye Valley Brewery, lovely drop of real ale. Dog friendly pub, locals pub, will definitely pop in on our next stay in the area
