Step Inside Penzance’s Famous Pirate Pub
Step Inside Penzance’s Famous Pirate Pub
If you’re looking for somewhere memorable to visit during your Cornish holiday, set sail for The Admiral Benbow in Penzance.
Located on historic Chapel Street, this characterful 17th-century pub feels like stepping aboard an old sailing ship. Its atmospheric interior is filled with maritime treasures, figureheads and artefacts recovered from shipwrecks along the Cornish coast. The Captain’s Cabin restaurant even recreates the deck of a period vessel, while the upstairs bars offer views across Penzance Harbour towards St Michael’s Mount.
With its low ceilings, hidden corners and fascinating connections to Cornwall’s smuggling history, The Admiral Benbow is much more than an ordinary pub. Visitors can enjoy a drink, sample the food and explore one of Penzance’s most unusual historic venues.
The Admiral Benbow is only a short drive from our holiday properties in Hayle, making it a wonderful addition to a day exploring Penzance and nearby Marazion.
