Myrddins Bar Caffi in Gwynedd

Went in just for takeaway drinks, staff not very pleasant didn't even acknowledge me stood at bar and made me think they didn't deserve my business. Doesn't take much to smile and be thankful to customers.

Brilliant little place lots of choice, knowledgeable staff and possibly the most addictive and well presented home made pickled eggs. Highly recommended. We have loved the place.

Absolutely suberb tap house, forget the two previous reviews on this site. We spent seven days in barmouth, five of them we visited this brilliant tap house and would have been more but they have to close two days to brew. Excellent mix of ales superbly crafted, I even purchased the tee shirt lol. If you get chance pay a visit.

A real shame….seems to have all the credentials for an enjoyable experience…..self brewed ales and spirits, pleasant seating environment….what could go wrong…..?? The reception you receive is beyond frosty, the “gentleman “ behind the bar couldn’t make it any more obvious that he would much rather anybody other than the few locals who no doubt frequent the place all year just walked on by. Never again

Should have made for a great afternoon - as the beer, cider and spirit selection is superb. A frosty atmosphere would be an understatement . Was it because we weren’t local? Or came as a family? Ashame! But should either advertise itself as a place for locals wanting a quiet pint, or follow the lead of the majority of the UKs microbreweries and be welcoming to all. Judging from past reviews, I await the response from the proprietors with bated breath… In the meantime, we we’ve gone over the road for a welcoming pint.

We visited this small bar/ distillery while staying in Barmouth and it soon became our favourite, dog friendly as well serving dog meals with all proceeds going to the dogs trust. There is small selection of snacks available scotch egg etc, served with a smile, but the main reason for going has to be the own brewed beer & gin , which you will spoilt for choice with, after visiting once our dog wouldn't let us walk past, so we had to oblige. There is well stocked shop selling there own produce so great for gifts as well

Visited on two afternoons whilst on holiday. This is a bijou place with a few tables and old fashioned metal tractor seats as bar stools (also a couple of tables outside). It serves excellent beers, gins and some great alcohol free beers. Bottles are on sale to take out (£11 for 3) including meads and ciders with a great choice. Sells upmarket crisps & nuts and delicious bar snacks e.g. Pork pies, pickled eggs on platters. Good atmosphere. One gripe, owners are not very friendly or chatty.

First time here we tried the different ciders. They have lots to choose from also homebrew ales, gins, vodka we will be definitely be back to try more.

what lovely Time we had I opted l.amb burger meal hubby had double beef burger meal came with chips and relishes and a drink of choice best burgers we've ever had both of us really enjoy our food ,we opted to try the home brewed dark cider for drinks first one went down lovely so had another ,with two flagons for present and 2 bottles of gin testers highly recommend this place x

These new Burgers are Honestly Amazing best in town and cheap. Defiantly recommend to eat here homemade cooked food

Staff were friendly, food excellent, and beer even better! Small ale bar with a good choice of beers. Crab sandwich and a local pint....what's not to like!!

Had a quick drink and bought some of the fins available which are distilled in Barmouth. Recommend a visit for a taste of the beers and gins. Covid restrictions being followed.

Amazing little place first time to Barmouth this place has some amazing beers ales and ciders top place

We went to myrddions for a main meal whilst on holiday in Barmouth. This bar is a little gem, I had the beef lasagne and my husband a beef burger. We tried a new drink each, a Welsh lager which was very good and a pineapple cider. The food was good quality and the service friendly and efficient.

We had a wonderful lunch here; Lamb cawl was really tasy with a fresh warm roll and welsh butter. Had a couple of great pints too. P.s. doggy food available. our pup loved her sausage for a £1;proceeds to the Dogs Trust!

Very small in size but massive in excellent beer choice. They even sell locally labeled gins and rims to take away.

Very yummy homemade food with a wide range of beers and ciders enjoyed. We enjoyed our visit. Very chilled environment.

We dropped on this little gem when caught I the rain at Barmouth prior to our journey back across the Mmawdach Estuary. It appeared to be a small micro brewery and we welcomed the chance for a refreshing beer away from the weather. We were a party of six and a dog and we were welcomed inside by a friendly but no way pretentious lady. Drinks were good, some cask beers and lots of bottled ciders and ales. We then spotted the menu, pan fried cod, local Cawl homemade burgers. Too good to be true. We ordered our food with little nibbles on the side like a few scampi and salt and pepper potatoes. I am not exaggerating when I say it was all of restaurant quality. This is far from a micro brewery that does a bit of cafe food on the side.My compliments went to the Chef and also the lady who looked after us.As you can see from my previous reviews, a place has to get my Spidey Senses tingling in order for me to commit to a review (whether positive or constructive). Whether it's for a beer or nibbles or a fantastic meal, do not miss this gem. PS beers about 3.80 pint, pan fried cod, chips, peas and salad 10.50, nibbles about 2.50. Brilliant value.

Myself and my wife popped in here last night 21/02/2020 for a quick bite to eat and to sample some of the locally brewed ales.There were a lot of ales on offer and all sold at a reasonable price.I opted for the lamb burger & a pint deal, whilst my wife opted for the steak and black velvet pie.After ordering the food was with us in around 15 minutes and the presentation was good.From the first bite into my burger my tastebuds were scintillating and they just wanted more, without a shadow of a doubt this is the best burger I have ever tasted.The owners informed me that the burgers are from the local butchers in Barmouth so I will be paying a visit today.I did also try 1 or 4 of the ales whilst visiting but there were far to many for me to get through although they do sell bottles for you to take away.We will definitely be returning to this little bistro in the near future xx

Made a quick stop by for some food. I had the Traditional Breakfast which was awesome. Wish I'd have had time to try some of the ales.

Lucky enough to get in to eat at Myrddins Bar Caffi as space is limited and I see from other reviews that it's very popular, sometimes to the point of having to queue! My husband and I and our two dogs were welcomed in and shown to a table where we could tuck the dogs out of the way. We were a bit spoiled for choice with the menu, so many things we liked but I had the pork and apple burger and my husband had the lamb stew. Both were delicious. The lady who served us was attentive and we were not rushed at all. The meal was so good that we decided to also eat there the following day, (chicken roast and hot dog this time!), again delicious and I have to say great value. A bonus for us is that it was dog friendly and there was also a dog menu for which the cost of the food is donated to Dog's Trust. Definitely a place to go, get there early to avoid disappointment or queuing. Thanks to the staff for the lovely meals and adding an enjoyable couple of days to our holiday in Barmouth!

As I've said in title this is the best food in Barmouth. Had many different meals here and each one is perfect, sorry to see owners are selling up. Only hope the new people can keep up the same quality. Definitely the best breakfast in Gwynedd. We wish the owners all the best with their new brewery venture.

We didn't actually eat here, but the food served up to others looked great. They do seem to operate unusual opening hours though (2hrs at lunch, and 2 hours in the evening, and only 3/4 days a week)They brew their own beer which is pretty good.we had a couple pints and really enjoyed it

Entered the small bar ,big on selection . Requested taster , " no "came the disgruntled reply . Made a lucky choice of their own Porter . ( purchased bottles to takeaway ) Ordered the sausage . Very good quality let down by no onions . Only shop bought onion rings , all upon a chopping board which I hate . Would have bought more if allowed to sample .

Amazing at the quality of the burger in what feels like a trendy welsh front room. Blown away by the value at £10 with a pint brewed on site with local competitors charging £14 for a lower quality burger alone, great find.

What a beauty! Great service, tasty food and the meat is all sourced locally. Would absolutely recommend a visit to this tiny cafe in Barmouth. Thank you.

Returned here on a 2 night stay in Barmouth. Still a great place. Lovely atmosphere. The range of drinks kept the hubby very happy! Food delicious and a great price. Went back the second night as felt no need to look anywhere else. Definitely recommend.

V good home cooked food. We had the cawl (think that is how it is spelt, lamb stew with a pastry top) and the steak and moose pie, both v nice. Dogs welcome, they even offer a dog menu with proceeds going to the dogs trust .

Quirky venue .great menu, crab salad refreshing and tasty.brilliant choice of ciders and beers,recommend elder flower cider

Nice little place we found the Burger was very nice. And the lovely pint of cider with it too. Definitely visit again. 👌

We very much enjoyed our lunch at Myrddins Bar Caffi. When it was served up, we were impressed by the quality and freshness of our sandwiches. The accompanying side salad was plentiful and more like a main meal. We certainly didn't leave hungry and felt the meal was extremely good value for the money.

we stumbled across this little gem of a bar/café during our first visit to Barmouth, we tried several of their home brewed beers and very palatable they were too. they served a wide variety of local bottled beers and although we didn`t eat there the food looked and smelled really good.

We always try and visit this place when in Barmouth but because it's quite small and gets very busy (which is a good sign!) we're not always successful. We managed to get in on our most recent stay and once again were glad we did! It's a dog friendly establishment which is great for us as we had a furry friend with us - you can buy a bowl of chicken and gravy for a £1 for them! There's a wide selection of food and drink, especially ales, most of which are brewed in Wales. Unfortunately the Apache was off when we visited and I love the stuff! I opted for a chilli beef burger and my wife had sausage and mash. Generation portions, tasty food, friendly service - what's not to like!

Delightful and bijou cafe, which specializes in local and self brewed craft beers & ciders. Excellent and tasty menu options. Wonderful customer service. Dog friendly.

A great little bar/restaurant at very reasonable prices. They have a huge range of drinks. It's a shame it's up for sale in that the new owner may make changes. My advice to the new prospective owner would be Don't mess with what is not broken.

Wow what a find this place was! Small traditional looking pub from the outside but a clean, modern place inside, very much in keeping with the seaside.

Visited here during my week off from work. Very small inside but was very personal. The different ales and ciders were fantastic as well as the food which was also very reasonably priced.

visited a week ago ,was impressed with quality of 2 draught ales i had,we ordered 2 meals, 1 of them being the much advertised Lamb Cawl,very dissapointing,it tasted like potato +leek soup with a 100% frozen microwaved pastry on top. when we had finished over half not eaten,the lady collected our dishes +never even questionned why it was not eaten.beware of the cooked to order advert !!!

This place is small so gets full very easily but it’s clear why. Good choice of food, freshly cooked at very reasonable prices. We visited last year and returned again this past weekend. Good selection of drinks too. Overall really good, would definitely recommend!

Found this little pub on a night out in Barmouth. Like to try local real ales from the area of where we are visiting and found this little gem. They brew their own beer here as well as offering a good choice of welsh beers. we didn't eat here as we had a table booked elsewhere, but we noticed that not only is it a dog friendly pub ,but it has its own food menu for dogs.

This was our second visit to the bar caffe and was just as we remembered it had a light lunch of potato long boats there was enough for 2 people ! Was gorgeous asked for one bit to take away as couldn’t eat it all.

Great food, friendly staff, good prices including the drinks and a great atmosphere. Will definitely visit again.

We had breakfast here and it was lovely. Eggy bread just like my dad used to make it, served with golden syrup - yum! Friendly service and food cooked to order. Look for the illuminated ‘open’ sign as the first day we walked past thinking it was closed - the lighting is not obvious from the street.

This is a little gem of a place. The perfect stop off for a meal or a drink if you have been walking your dog. A big selection of beers and some very tasty food. I recommend the moose pie. The dog menu is a nice touch. It was such a nice place we visited twice during our visit to Barmouth also enjoying a very good breakfast one morning.

Visited for the 2nd time and again everything was excellent. Amazing Beer selection, bottled and on tap, including their own brewed beer from the Microbrewery, which I sampled and enjoyed! Good food selection, including the Gourmet Hot Dog, which was great value at £10 including a pint. Friendly service and a nice atmosphere.

There is an amazing selection of beer, some of which is brewed by the bar.

It's a great quirky little bar that serves excellent breakfasts at unbelievable value - because it's so good and small sometimes you can't get in!

Was told by a local about the selection of beers on sale. I was a little confused by the exterior because it didn't look like a pub and that's what I was looking for.

Met friends for lunch. Very well priced home cooked food and a good location. good vegetarian options.

We go to Barmouth every year at the same time as a dog walking break and every year return here to feast never been disappointed either by the food or service.

You have to visit here when in Barmouth. We had the faggots the best we have ever eaten. Fantastic value for money, great size portions all home cooked and local produce. Added bonus micro brewery and local gin. Will definitely be back. 5 star ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

With Grandson in tow we saw Myrddins was open and were so very pleased we did, the meals we ordered were superb and the Craft Beers that we had time to taste were excellent. Great food, great service and a lovely array of beers - we could not have been happier

I’ve read other reviews and there’s a mix of

I had liver and onions with mash, the mash was instant mash and the liver had been fried then gravy and onions added later.

The end of the day we headed for Myrddins for tea. It was nice and rellaxed, good food good beer. We always head here when staying a night in Barmouth. I heard there opening a real ale bar in the Town, is this true !!

Real ales, huge selection & ciders. Ordered the potato skins, delicious. Friend had a prawn baguette which came with chips & she couldn't finish it all, her husband did though!!!

Fantastic food wine and home brewed beer. Very dog friendly our little Bertie had sausage one night and chicken and gravy another night which was eaten in no time and at £1 per portion which was donated to the dogs trust. Recommend very highly

Very nice cafe/bar we didn’t have anything to eat however the food looked and smelt very nice staff were friendly and even offered more seats for outside very clean and tremendous selection of ales !

I would love to be able to write a scathing review of Myrddins Bar Caffi just so I could read the owner's reply - very entertaining - but I can't fault the place. If you're looking for a big place with plenty of seats and a huge bar with loads of hand pumps then go elsewhere. If you want a lovely micro pub with a good selection of beers - draft and bottled then come here. Excellent.

Small but friendly bar with large range of bottled and some draft beers. Good range of beers from local breweries and some further afield. They also sell their own brewed beerss on draft. Reasonably priced. Not open certain periods of day owing to local licencing laws so check opening hours. Not open on Webnesdays. Have only had drinks here so can't comment on food, though people that were eating seemed happy and their meals looked good.

In Barmouth Bank Holiday weekend and were looking for sSunday dinner.most places were jam packed but we found this little place.We waited 10 minutes for it to open as only opens for limited time.Seating is limited to about 16 people but felt there was plenty of room.Four of us had different meals and we really enjoyed it.Plenty on offer at the bar too.They do not take bookings otherwise would have booked for breakfast for next day.

It looks nice from the outside but its just a very basic cafe inside. Their home brew beers are excellent but the food is bland and very basic. Shame, it could do much much better.

Lovely atmosphere, very friendly and very good food! The dog loved her sausage: a very good touch. My mom was impressed with the veggie menu too, will definitely be back.

locale piccolissimo, abbastanza pulito, con piatti interessanti. L'atmosfera ammicca al mago Merlino, ma in generale ha porzioni abbondanti e ben preparate, ad un prezzo ragionevole. Il piatto vegetariano non è il solito hamburger stanco, ma un fungo gigante coperto di pasta sfoglia.

After seeing people queue to get in, we thought to give it a try. The hotdog and burger menu looked very appealing.

Have eaten here many times before on holiday to barmouth and am pleased to say you didn't disappoint this time round! First time bringing my other half to barmouth and he loved the food and was blown away by the chicken kebab and hummus! Great price and the magic lager really is magic...! Thank you.

Lovely, small bistro that does not take bookings so you need to try your luck at opening time.

Dynamite comes in small packages - certainly the case with this little gem. Great to spend some time over a fantastic cooked breakfast with the kids. Be quick though - breakfast between opening (10:30 today) and 11:30 only.

Had dinner with my son good choice for children for under £6 with a drink. £8 average for an adult meal that is home cooked you will pay that in the pubs. Good choice of bottled beers and real ale brewed by the owners.i always visit when in Barmouth and am sorry there selling up, I hope the keep it running.

Fantastic selection of beers. Prices seemed good. Double burger and a beer was £13.

Seating for fewer than 20 make certainly makes this small bar/restaurant exclusive. And even in high season it only has limited opening hours - closing mid afternoon with last food orders at 8.30. We joined a queue at 6pm to get and it was immediately full! We ended up on high stools and enjoyed a good selection of bottled beers and ciders with a few on draft, including some local beers. Interesting notices around the room and rather old fashioned bar hidden at the back. Most were there for the hearty local food menu. Quirky, be prepared not to get a seat. But the best selection of beer we found in Barmouth.

Little bar in Barmouth that we stopped in for lunch. I had a vegetarian lasagne and it was really nice, good size portions too. I would visit again if I was in the area

So unusual these days to see faggots on the menu . They did not disapppint ! There is a little wait but the food is good and tasty . Set me up for the afternoon ! Will come again and sample the ales next time .

Visited with friends after a great time in the beach with the dogs. We’d been before so recommended Myrddins’ as the place to end our day in Barmouth...happily we were not disappointed. We five adults enjoyed Lamb Cawl (x2), Faggots, Steak & Moose Pie and Mushroom Wellington which we’re flavoursome, plentiful and served in warmed plates (something many restaurants fail to do). The two portions of Chicken and Gravy for Nero and Percy didn’t last long at all and both bowls were licked clean.

After seeing their advert of good ales and food. Decided to go for breakfast. On entering the bar a member of our family saw the place was empty so asked if our party of eight could come in for breakfast. Two waiters were playing on their phones the place was empty and we were told it was too much trouble to cook breakfasts! What a way to run a business . Rude and insolent. Don’t bother going there.

We visited this quant little pub that only has about 5 tables on an early afternoon trip to Barmouth from a local campsite.

We have eaten here many times when in Barmouth and everytime its been great. The food is always the best. They always look after you and always look after the dogs (Bert and Charles) 10 out of 10

Myrddins is a tiny delight! We stopped there for a late lunch, and managed to get in just before last orders, which are at 2pm.

Popped in for some tea on the evening. Place was already full apart from a high seated table, but managed to nab a normal table once some people moved on. It's a small place, but cosy.

Visited on a Thursday evening and had a starter of Piri piri prawns and a main of Chicken Jalfrezi. My wife had the chicken wings in spicy honey and mango glaze to start and a sea bream as a main.

Stopped off for lunch this week. Great menu. Welcoming staff. Lovely selection of local beers. Managed to grab an outside table to watch the world go by. Lovely.

It opens at 10:30 and breakfast is only on for one hour. Therefore everyone orders at the same time making the service slow. However, the food is definitely delicious and worth the wait. There isn’t much room in the cafe so you’d have to make sure you are there at 10:30.

We were looking for somewhere nice and quaint to dine in the evening for my birthday and came across this delightful eatery. We checked out the menu earlier in the day and both thought it was a nice touch that they have a menu for your dog as well although we did not have one with us.

Was recommended this place by our host in central Barmouth as being the best place in town to eat.

Lekker gegeten on dit piepkleine familiecafe. Aan een van de tafeltjes buiten. Reserveren niet mogelijk. Lekkere traditioneel Engelse keuken. No nonsens bedoening maar wel vriendelijk. Zeer lage prijs voor lekker eten. Voor onder de 20 pond voor twee hoofdgerechten en drinken.

Good selection of Beers & Ciders, but hot summers day, closes at 2:30pm, stop serving at 1:45pm! Selection of breakfasts on offer, oh, but not until 10:00 or 11:00am. Not really interested in meeting the needs of customers, so I've got a good solution for you, just don't bother opening at all, waste of space, visit somewhere who appreciates your custom.

Lots of beers and ciders which was nice however, food was average. Frozen chips and onion rings, bog standard bread and little filling. The place is full of ‘Do not’ signs everywhere. Staff don’t engage.

Stopped in for a.quick one.... The staff are great with a good sense of humour...huge choice of beer.. settled on a purple moose... stop in and share an hour

Lovely food and surroundings with over forty ales and lagers some brewed on the premises. They need larger premises unless they are happy with their limited takings.

Arrived at opening to be met by a queue. We were given a table outside. Perfect. However, then the owner put a water bowl for dogs at our feet even though we didn't have a dog. My fears were realised when random idiots paused to let their dogs drink at our feet as we were eating. The bowl then spilled. I honestly have no idea how! Starters were terrible. Breaded prawns and jalapeños. Both obviously of the pre-made and frozen variety. Salad was passable. So 10 quid down before we start. The mains of plaice and haddock were nothing special. The fish were cooked well, but the accompaniments were dire. Frozen chips and frozen peas. Doesn't anybody cook their own chips anymore? Service was wobbly too. You have to queue up at the tiny bar to order your food and to get drinks. No table service. All in all, one to miss. How this place has got so many 5 stars is beyond me.

Wow what a lovely little restaurant/bar and I do mean little as there are only half a dozen tables but don’t let that detract you.

A small restaurant that brews its own beers and gives a real ale drinker a vast choice. It also serves home made food which very good at a reasonable price.

Great choice of real ales & real ciders, , delicious reasonably priced food & lovely staff. Tucked away on church street, but definitely worth a visit. Been several times and never been disappointed.

We stayed in Barmouth for 3 nights and ate here on two occasions. The first time was the best with the Welsh Cawl and Steak & Moose pies being superb. My stepdaughter usually does not pass comment on food - it is simply sustenance - but without prompting she said about how good the food was. The food wasn't quite so good the second time round (sea bass was a bit tasteless) but still very enjoyable. The range of ales and Welsh ciders (we went for the latter) was also excellent and they were reasonably priced too. The only two issues with Myrddins are the space (you cannot always get a table) and the hours as sometimes you have to rush to finish which is always a shame with a good meal, but I would have no hesitation in returning.

We had visited here a couple of years ago and this was our first visit since. It was so good, we ate here 2 nights running while holidaying in Barmouth.

Had a lovely weekend in Barmouth and we must say that we were very lucky to select Myrddins Bar on Friday evening for our meal and drinks. It was our first visit here and the fish of the day (sea bream) was wonderful and the chicken balti was superb. Very nice lady giving great service and a hero in the kitchen.

Popped in for lunch and liquid refreshment after a walk. Lovely selection of ales whilst the wife likes the Breacon gin. Liver & onions and tuna potato longboats were both enjoyed with good service.

Called in after a morning out on the motorbike. Looked very small and cosy, Food was great, good service

Had steak and moose pie. Fantastic food - pie was in a pot with a great puff-pastry lid, and oh so rich and tasty! Of my accompanying choices I chose chunky chips and I think the mash was swede and sweet potato? It was all really good quality food (large chunks of meat too) and I left feeling full. They have many craft beers and ciders and apparently brew on the premises too. I had mango cider. Yep, mango. It tasted a lot like both cider and mangoes (as it should). All in all - a wonderful nice meal at a great price and I am looking forward to visiting again and trying other menu items. :D

We always pop in Myrddins whilst in Barmouth. Great food and great prices. The Faggots are especially good 😀 The better half had the mushroom wellington which was equally as tasty.
