Live Music — Pubs in Fowey

Galleon Inn

12 Fore Street, Fowey PL23 1AQ

This fully-modernised riverside pub in the town centre dates back 400 years. The only untied pub in Fowey, it features Cornish ales from Sharps and Skinner's, and guest ales which change regularly from around the country but mainly focusing on Cornwall. Delightful river views from most of the wood-panelled main bar (where there is a pool table) and the separate conservatory room. Smoking is allowed at outside tables on the quay wall, which are popular year round and in a protected courtyard with gas heaters when needed. There is a wide range of meals offered daily. Seven rooms, all en-suite and most with river views, are also available. The pub has disabled access and there is a nappy-changing facility. Live bands featured on Friday nights and Sunday afternoons. Website: www.galleon-inn.co.uk

Safe Harbour

58 Lostwithiel Street, Fowey PL23 1BQ

Up a steep hill at the south end of the town centre, this 300-year-old split-level pub is the only one in Fowey which retains its separate lounge and public bars. Originally called the Commercial Hotel, the public bar once housed horse-drawn wagons. It now has a pool table and TV, and is a popular gathering place. The quiet upper Lounge bar, with its polished copper bar top, has been refurbished and brightened, with chairs and sofas. Dining tables fill the old so-called “virgin’s corner,” a little snug alcove, in the upper (rear) bar, where ladies used to meet regularly at lunchtimes. An excellent selection of meals is available daily, 12:00-14:00 and 18:00 to the 'end of demand'. There is also a separate dining room on the 1st floor. An outside patio with umbrella cover & heaters is available for smokers. In winter, there are darts, pool and euchre teams, and quiz nights on Tuesdays, and occasional live entertainment. There are five en-suite double bedrooms and two single rooms which share a bath, as well as a self-contained flat for up to 4 people. Uniquely in Fowey, it has its own small private car park.
