About
About Rhyl
Rhyl is a seaside town and community in Denbighshire in Wales. The town lies on the north coast of Wales, at the mouth of the River Clwyd.
Bill is a bit better travelled than most and although there is a ring of truth about his humour but to this reader at least his meanderings do seem a little harsh. The caravan parks between Rhyl and Abergele (at Towyn) don't look nice from the train, but the sea air is fresh, the beaches are clean and not everyone has the option of living off the royalties of their rather good books. Rhyl is stuck in a timewarp, has made some bad planning decisions and is dominated in the holiday season with what used to be called the "working class" and are now disparagingly called "chavs".

Local knowledge
Eating, drinking and staying safe in Rhyl
Drink
Rhyl is known locally for its nightlife and entertainment. The town centre acts as a magnet for locals living in the valley and in the town. There are a range of pubs and a few clubs which are mentioned here. The J D Wetherspoons chain has a bar in Sussex Street, just off the High Street. Nearby along Sussex Street, there is a bar called Rain, which tends not to be busy, it has a false rain effect along its back wall, however the bar often isn't clean and does not always seem a safe place to drink. Further along Sussex Street there is a bar called Shooters, which is famous for its broad selection of shots, although the furniture in the bar is old.
