Pubs & Bars in Cornwall

Thirsty after a coastal walk or ready for a sunset pint? Our pubs & bars in Cornwall round up friendly spots across the county—traditional inns, gastro pubs and cocktail & wine bars—so you can settle in for something tasty with good company.

What you’ll discover

• Local ales & ciders from Cornish breweries, plus low‑ and no‑alcohol choices

• Seasonal menus—from proper fish & chips to creative small plates

• Dog‑friendly corners and family‑friendly hours (check kitchen times)

• Beer gardens & sea‑view terraces, woodburners for winter cosiness

• Live music, quizzes & events at select venues

Make it a Cornish evening

Plan a mini trail: harbour‑side aperitifs in Falmouth, a gastro pub in Truro or St Austell, a traditional inn near Penzance or St Ives, then a nightcap in Newquay, Wadebridge or Bude. In summer, book ahead for weekend tables and larger groups.

Tips for smooth sipping

• Kitchen hours can vary—check last orders for food.

• Designate a driver or arrange a local taxi—see our Taxis & Chauffeur Services category.

• Ask about dog rules and covered outdoor seating if the weather turns.

• If you’re with little ones, look for kids’ menus, high chairs and early dining slots.
