| Visited Penzance with my family in August, we went to a few pubs for lunch whilst on days out. Found the Alexandra Inn to be a nice, clean and friendly pub. The staff we're chatty where as in some pubs just serve your drinks then sit back. The food was ace, the children cleared their plates which is a first. Will be back next time!

| Still as good as ever. Very friendly atmosphere. Never any bother. People always friendly. And some nice drinks, including Thatchers and Rattler. Cyberdyne - 25 Dec 2009 03:31 |
| Good quality Skinners ale. A good pub to visit on a Penzance pub crawl. xh558 - 7 Dec 2009 13:08 |
| The Alex was one of the best pubs we visited in Penzance. GREAT owner who cared whether we were enjoying our stay there. Well kept real ales with a nice beer garden out back. Good atmospehere and-at all times- welcoming. Lastly, The Alex is about a 1 minute walk to the shorefront, so that's nice, too. mrdruse - 19 Jul 2009 23:24 |
| One of the best pubs we found in Penzance for a welcoming and friendly crowd and one of the wider selections of ales (5 in all - Betty Stoggs, Doom Bar, Bass, Courage Best and the excellent Heligan Honey). Not a particularly interesting interior décor wise, quite plain and unfussy with a few shipwreck and lifeboat snippets on the walls and a rear section that houses a pool table. Clearly they take notice of BITE as a listing of Cornish pubs is mounted on the wall with their (now out of date) rating proudly highlighted. The charismatic locals will entertain you with stories on anything from shipwrecks to smuggling, beers to boats and tin mines to Todd Rundgren and it was the best part of midnight before we left after what was supposed to be a quick pint. Ladies literally have to spend a penny to use the loos (there are old pennies on the bar which are needed to get in). The attractive beer garden would be a hit in the summer but avoid match days – the football and rugby grounds are just around the corner. The barmaid needs to improve on her music taste as well. One of the more respectable and worthwhile of Penzance’s pubs. RogerB - 19 Mar 2009 13:47 |
