Turk's Head
Penzance isn't short of a boozer or two, but the old Turk's Head - purportedly the town's oldest pub - is a personal favourite. Tobacco-stained walls, patchy carpets and a battered bar just add to the atmosphere of a well-used (and much-loved) watering hole.

Quayside
Just along the quay from the Chain Locker, this busy boozer is the place for a sunset pint, with picnic tables beside the harbour and a twin-floored pub selling German lager and local beers.

Poly
The old Falmouth Arts Centre has had a recent revamp as an arthouse cinema, and shows all the brilliant European films and low-budget Brit flicks you never get to see down the Odeon.

Princess Pavilion
The town's main venue for live events, with gigs, theatre and tribute bands aplenty, and the annual Cornwall Film Festival (www.cornwallfilmfestival.com) every November.

Jam
Impossibly funky music emporium-cum-cappuccino bar, with a just-so selection of vinyl and CDs, great coffee and leather sofas to lounge around on. Nice…

Blue South
Sister venue to the Blue Bar on Porthtowan, this beachy bar offers a similarly chilled vibe, with deep sofas, draft beers and a menu of munchie mains.

Shiver-me-timbers - a classic old sea-dog of a pub, with the all-important low ceilings, heart-stopping ales and hugger-mugger atmosphere.

Zero Lounge
More urban chic than olde-worlde, this open-plan bar also boasts the town's best beer patio.

Turk's Head
They pull a fine pint of real ale at this, the oldest boozer in Penzance. It's said a smugglers' tunnel used to link the pub with the harbour – handy for sneaking in that liquid contraband – and the bar's covered in maritime memorabilia.
