Are you looking to run a beautiful and bustling pub in a seaside town? If so, then look no further than the Cob and Pen, this much-loved pub in the heart of Rhyl.
Pub and location
The Cob & Pen is a stunning three-storey pub is more than just a local landmark – it’s a beloved gathering spot for the community and visitors alike.
Perfectly positioned right near Rhyl’s bustling train and bus station, just a five-minute stroll from the sandy shores of Rhyl Beach, and within walking distance of Marine Lake and Kinmel Bay. The Cob and Penn is truly at the center of it all.
This pub is full of character and warmth, with rich history and a lively, welcoming atmosphere. The inside is well-invested with three distinct trading areas – a traditional and cosy bar, a pool room and a charming dining area – all served from a central bar. Whether it’s quiz nights, live sport on the big screens, pool, darts or a hearty meal with family and friends, there’s something here for everyone.
On sunny days, our spacious beer garden beckons. Partially covered and seating over 100 guests, it’s the perfect spot for live music, sports and lively entertainment, with plenty of room to set up a stage to help maximise those big occasions.
Upstairs, we currently have six comfortable letting rooms. We’re excited about the future and plan to invest to create a two-bedroom apartment with a lounge and fitted kitchen for our Publicans to enjoy, while maintaining three letting rooms available for guests to stay over and enjoy a seaside break.
Ideal operator
We’re looking for a passionate, friendly, and creative individual or couple to take the reins of this special pub. The ideal tenant will be someone who can balance traditional pub values with a modern, community-minded approach—someone experienced with Real Ales, organising events, running pub games and teams, managing letting rooms, and offering light food.
Local knowledge will be key, as you’ll be at the heart of Rhyl’s lively seaside community.
If you’re ready to lead a thriving hub, create memorable experiences, and become part of Rhyl’s vibrant story, we’d love to hear from you.
