Called in for a drink before eating elsewhere. Lovely pub with a decent choice of beers. Quite a few in and a crowd eating so it's popular

The lady that works Monday and Tuesday was lovely and friendly but that all changed on Wednesday with the barman. He was rude and abrupt with us and other customers early evening. Very expensive for flat lager too.

Called in for drinks only, good atmosphere but would suggest asking the price of your cocktails before ordering due to no prices shown as I got ripped off for two expresso martini's costing just short of £30.

After the Ironman event yesterday we called in to have some food with some friends. There was 8 of us including my 2 children, we ordered at the bar and the staff member was rude with absolutely no manners and rolled her eyes when I asked her for my drink (that she forgot) food then arrived with no sign of my eldest sons meal, we asked twice to be told it was coming, it came as we all finished our food. Asked for the manager, no manager came. The manager then walked past so my husband called him over, his response was I’m only now being made aware of this but people make mistakes (what mistake if you were only now being made aware?) and offered us….. a free soft drink. LOL. We won’t be returning and my advice from reading other reviews, avoid. So disappointing.

Full of character with an attractive bar that was apparently once an actual lifeboat in rhe 1800's. We were going to eat there but due to the over priced drinks we left to go elsewhere. Pity as they had good cask ales and the menu looked good but we don't like being ripped off for a pint of bitter.

I visited the Lifeboat Tavern, whilst holidaying in Tenby. This pub is certainly unique. The main bar is a bow from a salvaged lifeboat, from I believe 1800. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Although I didn't eat there, the menu looked fantastic.

Food was lovely, served in a appealing manner, chips were nice, crunchy which I'm personally not a fan of so I can't fault them for it, chicken burger was lovely however the included onion rings weren't very breaded and hard large onions inside of them, making the taste more onion than onion and breaded mix you'd expect, worst part was the cola, they don't sell Coca Cola or Pepsi and is instead this cheap stuff that isn't the best.

Awful. Staff member reassured us they could make many things gluten free, just ask. When we came to order, disinterested person serving went to check if nachos were gf.....came back to tell us nothing except steak, gammon, or chips were possible. Drinks overpriced at £3.80 for a Fanta. Children's meal made my daughter feel unwell, looked like a frozen burger patty. All in all, Wetherspoons food, at double the cost.

What a great pub don’t understand the previous reviews. Yes it’s busy but that’s a good sign isn’t it? Went for lunch. Firstly I need to say the staff were so friendly. Very busy but cheerful all the time. We had the Mussels in creamy sauce. Really tasty and a big portion. Loved this pub.

The burgers here are awful. They smell of cheap frozen burgers. Cold unmelted cheese, no brioche bun as advertised. My son left half of it. Chips were warm, didn’t seem fresh. A few bits of rocket and a small spoonful of coleslaw. Absolutely the worst meal in Tenby and at £16.95 a complete rip-off. There are so many other better places to eat in Tenby.

Stayed in Tenby for 2 nights and both days went to the lifeboat tavern for evening meal. First night had the lifesaver beef burger which was very tasty, the been patty was thick and jucy and cooked great. Stated on the menu that the beef burger is cooked from fresh locally sourced ingredients and it definitely tasted like it and didn't tast like it was cooked from frozen. On second night had their steak and chips, asked for it to be cooked rear and got exactly that, It was a beautiful cut of beef full of juices and very tasty not normally get a steak cooked to how I like it but they definitely cooked that steak to how I wanted it. Highly recommend this establishment for great food.

The staff looked terribly bored, and the beer was all boring big breweries only, nothing local or at least small scale. A tourist trap.

We came here for lunch on a very stormy Saturday after searching Tenby for pubs and decided this looked the most inviting menu wise. I had a pint of Madri and the Lifeboat Tower burger, whilst my girlfriend had a Baileys Hot Chocolate and Chilli Jacket Potato. These came to something like £46 which on paper is expensive. However the food and drinks were of exceptional quality, to the point we returned the next day, driving 25 minutes to get there in the middle of Storm Isha. I had the burger again and a pint of Staropramen, whilst my girlfriend joined me in having a burger and drank a Rekordelig. There’s a large range of foods and drinks available but I’d especially recommend the burger!

Great menu selection I had the fish and chips with peas and salad, piping hot food, portion size far too much for me and I have big portions. Full of flavour served in good time amongst several other orders. A couple I meet there had the big burger and lasagne meals along with a scientific of larger and cocktails and raved about it.

We turned up to have prep ghost tour drinks on a horrendously rainy night with 2 dogs to be told that we were only allowed to sit out side, not particularly cozy with the wind and rain on our October break. So we decided to venture over the road where we were welcomed with a smile and table where we sat inside and enjoyed a few drinks and food. The lifeboat needs to reconsider the dog policy, as we weren't the only customers who felt uncomfortable and at least 5 other people walked out within the few minutes we were in the premises. They need to reconsider the dog policy. No one should be expected to told to sit outside on an October evening just because they have dogs.

Firstly the food took 40 minutes to arrive. Once it finally arrived the food was not great at all. Two of four roast potatoes were insipid and not at all crispy. There was only 4 roast between two people which is simply not enough especially as two were rubbish! This was brought to the attention of our server…she claimed they had no more and she could put the gravy covered one back into the oven! She was rude and unhelpful and dishonest because I watched more roast come out of the kitchen. All in all a bad experience and tourist or not we deserved far more for our money! The meat was reheated and overcooked…it didn’t taste good
