Nightlife Spot: Various
I'll just give a quick run down of some of the pubs in Prestatyn. There are no nightclubs (except for the residents' only ones in Pontins), theatres or cinemas, but you can find these in Rhyl, five minutes' drive west along the coast.
Cross Foxes - the longest serving and enduringly popular spot at the top of the high street. Has its ups and downs and clientele ranges from chavs to suits. Big screen for sports, DJ at weekends and stuff like quiz nights, karaoke etc sometimes on weeknights. Not exceptional, not bad. Just reliable. Standard range of drinks.
Halcyon Quest - a couple of minutes stroll from the Foxes, this is the most traditional pub in town. Still better known by its previous name 'Macauleys'. No TV or live entertainment, but a decent atmosphere and better range of beers than the Foxes. Nice beer garden open in the summer. B&B available.
Archies - the trendiest spot in town, near the top of the high street. An older crowd than the Foxes; the types who drink wine and Belgian beers rather than Breezers and Stella (but of course they are available too). Not a bad place, but the live music at weekends isn't very good and attracts a door fee.
Offa's Tavern - right next to the train station. A quiet place which presumably makes a living from its location and from selling decent pub grub. Too far away from the top of town bars to be included in a pub crawl and not enough to attract you away from them. Nothing wrong with it, just doesn't stand out.
