If you’ve been wondering where to enjoy the best night out in Llandudno, there’s never been a better time to head to the top of Mostyn Street.
For many locals, this part of town holds some fantastic memories. Years ago, Fat Cats was one of Llandudno’s busiest pubs, with crowds often twelve deep at the bar every Friday and Saturday night. The atmosphere was electric, and the area was the beating heart of the town’s evening economy.
Like many high streets across the UK, things inevitably changed. The rise of online shopping, changing habits and the pandemic all had an impact, and the top of town became noticeably quieter.
Thankfully, that’s beginning to change.
Today, Upper Mostyn Street is enjoying a genuine revival, with exciting new venues opening their doors and creating a destination that’s well worth revisiting.
That’s where Johnny Throws steps up.
The latest additions sit just a few doors from Johnny Throws, giving visitors even more choice when planning an evening out.
Mostyn Street Ale House
Opening inside the former Fat Cat Café Bar, Mostyn Street Ale House brings traditional pub values together with modern craft beer culture.
Visitors can enjoy an ever-changing selection of locally brewed ales and IPAs, watch live sport across ten large screens, join regular quiz nights and enjoy live entertainment throughout the weekend.
It’s exactly the sort of welcoming local pub that many people have been hoping would return to the area.
Somewhere Else
Just next door, Somewhere Else offers a completely different atmosphere.
With premium cocktails, carefully selected wines, quality draught beers and an over-25s policy, it’s designed for relaxed evenings with friends. There’s no dress code, well-behaved dogs are welcome outside, and the stylish surroundings make it equally suited to date nights or catching up over drinks.
Together, these new venues add even more life to an already growing part of town.
No great night out in Llandudno starts on an empty stomach.
Fortunately, Mostyn Street and the surrounding area offer plenty of fantastic places to eat before your evening really gets going.
Whether you’re after authentic pizza, classic pub food, modern British cuisine or one of Llandudno’s many independent restaurants, you’ll find plenty of options within just a few minutes’ walk.
The beauty of the town centre is that everything is close together, making it easy to enjoy several different venues without constantly moving the car or booking taxis.
Of course, the best nights aren’t just about eating and drinking.
They’re about doing something memorable together.
That’s why competitive socialising has exploded in popularity across the UK, with more groups choosing activities that get everyone laughing before heading out for drinks.
At Johnny Throws, visitors can experience professionally hosted axe throwing alongside interactive digital darts in a relaxed, welcoming environment suitable for complete beginners as well as competitive groups.
Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, planning a date night, organising a work social or simply looking for something different to do with friends, it’s the perfect way to kick-start your evening.
After all, nothing gets conversations flowing quite like discovering who can actually throw an axe straight!
