Pubs in Redruth

Miners Arms

Plain An Gwarry, Redruth TR15 1JB

Community pub in former miners' cottages in a residential area of the town. The bar has two dartboards and hosts live entertainment Saturday evenings.

Mount Ambrose Inn, Treleigh

86 Mount Ambrose, Redruth TR15 1QR

Friendly one-bar locals' pub on the eastern edge of town. Bare granite walls and a large collection of brass and copper pots hanging from the beams enhance the atmosphere. Entertainment most weekends may include karaoke sessions; quiz night is Monday.

Collins Arms

Higher Fore Street, Redruth TR15 2AP

No longer selling real ale on a regular basis. The oldest pub in Redruth, dating back to 1743 when it was a coaching inn, unobtrusively tucked away at the top of the town centre beyond Fore St. It is now an unpretentious and friendly drinkers' local. Apart from the main bar area, a second drinking area, slightly raised, houses extra seating and a pool table. Bar meals, self-described as 'pub grub', are available evenings. Tues is quiz night.

The Oxford

28 Fore Street, Redruth TR15 2BQ

Lively and heavily modernised, this town centre pub is firmly aimed at the younger drinker and can get quite noisy, although all age groups are welcome. The interior is surprisingly spacious in contrast to its small frontage, with separate rooms housing pool tables and the like, and a drinking corridor to one side. Buses leave from the railway station nearby.

Tricky's, Tolgus Mount

Tolgus Mount, Redruth TR15 3TA

Formerly named (and still called locally) Tricky Dicky's after a previous owner, this is an imaginatively converted former copper mine smithy, with several corners in which to hide including a small no-smoking room, and decorated with 'before' and 'after' pictures. As well as the beers, it offers a wide range of food and a good selection of wines. Outside is a partly-covered patio used for barbecues in summer, also available for hire. There is a squash court & fitness centre and separate accommodation in a motel-style block styled 'Tricky's Hotel'. Live jazz Tues eves, other music Thur, with a late licence. Families welcome.

The Treleigh Arms, Treleigh

Bassett Road, Redruth TR16 4AY

Expect warm, friendly service at this single bar, stone-built locals' pub at the eastern end of Redruth. A large, comfortable bar room features exposed stone walls and includes a wood burner at each end, and there is a separate dining room offering mainly locally-produced food including coeliac and vegetarian options. The emphasis here is on Cornish ales (selection may vary), and there is a large choice of wines; draught cider appears in summer. Well-behaved dogs are welcome; there are no intrusive TV or games machines, but a boules/pétanque piste is available. Quiz night is on Tuesdays and a folk club is on the last Friday of the month. Buses pass Mount Ambrose on the main road into Redruth, about 15 min walk away.

Fox & Hounds, Comford

Comford, Redruth TR16 6AY

Golden Lion Inn, Menherion

Stithians Lake, Redruth TR16 6NW

Located beside a watersports centre at Stithians reservoir, this old granite single-bar inn has become more food-led in recent years, but still functions as a welcoming local for those who simply want a drink ot two. The bar area is beamed with slate floors and high-backed settles, and a few round tables constructed out of old wooden barrels. There is a cosy snug to one side which can seat around 15 people. A huge granite firplace provides real fire warmth in winter. The beer garden is extensive. The pub hosts a great variety of events including themed food nights. Accommodation is in a self-catering cottage; there is also a small campsite adjacent. Free wireless broadband is available in the bar, and there is occasional live entertainment. There are no noisy machines in the bar, although there is often continuous 'musak' in the background. The pub is open all day during school holidays, otherwise as indicated. The weekday bus service is very limited but allows of a lunchtime pint or two.
