Ever Been to a Welsh Theme Pub?

i used to go to one when i lived in johannesberg, but i can't remember the name now....

no welsh beer, just a huge red dragon painted on the outside and some welsh teatowels on the wall.
still, felt nice to go there when i was missing home.
 
Few people know that Wales is the World's 4th largest exporter of Teatowels!

Okay I've made that up. Teatowels eh! No expense spared :)

Dylan's Bar in San Francisco is the only one I've been to. Rugby shirts on the wall and Brains' on tap but not the usual selection of little, fat, aggressive drunks. Any others out there? There must be one in Patagonia.
Apologies for the little, fat, aggressive drunk bit but you know what I mean.


Dylan's is no more! Closed about 18months ago and Titch, the owner, moved to Nicaragua to set up a resort called Strummers. Joe was a good mate of his and he was with him shortly before he died. I wrote a pice about its demise for the Western Mail, but they didn't use if afaik.

The Cayo, teh Terrorists Arms to the regulars, is heavy on the Welsh. There's certainly more than one staff member who speaks Klingon, a regulars joke, and used to be far more. But its a great pub and always welcoming.

I'm sorry to hear it's closed down 1927 but what a move to Nicaragua to setup a resort called Strummers. Top man and good luck to him. What's he got on the juke box?
 
I went to the Cayo for a pint today. Lovely pub but I was the only punter not wearing flip flops. The bar staff were lovely and I'll go there again (when I get some flip flops). The pub when you turn left and go to the park is very Welsh and a nice pub too.

We who imbibe heavily at The Cayo hate the flip floppers with a passion. We piss on their toes in the urinals.
 
A real Welsh theme pub would be full of lads pumped up with 'roid rage, girls with short-skirts all-hanging out and drinking through straws and the old boy in the corner who could have played for Wales. Lovely 'ands see!
