Had a walk from town while doing Good Beer Guide pubs and enjoyed our ale sitting in the lovely sun trap of a garden.

Had an evening meal here end of June. Looked forward to this visit, ref. to previous reviews. But in total we got a bit dissapointed; Had mackerell w/ salad, and my wife had crab cakes.., and we both agreed it was below average quality. The ales were good, though. Nice location, outside beer garden and playing space for children. But the place was nearly empty (monday night). We later found better pubs down near the Penzance harbour, so we didn't bother to try again.

Had a good time here last summer while in Cornwall for my brother's wedding. Good range of mainly West Country beers on offer, friendly staff and local drinkers.

Thanks for allowing me to play the pub piano as well as the free pint! Next time I'm in the area I will make a beeline for the Pirate Inn.

spent a very enjoyable evening here whilst on a short break in the area. me and the missus were made very welcome by the landlord, landlady and locals. a very cosy place which has warmth and character. the ale i tried (two skinner's and exmoor gold) was fine. was told by other visitors that the food was excellent - certainly the menu looked varied and great value.
we attended on a tuesday which is their weekly cornish folk night - it was a great session that was well attended by local musicians. they also have a guest artist on a thursday too so i'm told.
if you're staying in penzance it's an easy stroll from the town centre. and if you're staying in newlyn or mousehole, it's right on the bus route to/from penzance (you can catch one after closing time too). it's definitely worth the (short) detour if you're visiting. i'll certainly be back next time i'm in the area.

Nice big beer garden here for those sunny days. We did however have 2 very poor pints of ale,including a very warm Skinners and a quite vinegary exmoor fox.
We did put this down to it being a very busy day in Penzance, and am sure it is usually a lot better. Overall a well deserved 7/10.
