The Mermaid Inn

The Mermaid Inn is the most iconic pub on the Isles of Scilly, located at the entrance to St Mary's Harbour.

The place has a rich history - it has traditionally been a stop for smugglers, pirates and fishermen, retaining strong ties to its maritime past.

The pub offers several dining options: the historic main bar, the modern Slip Inn Bar and Bistro overlooking Samson, Bryher and Tresco islands, and a restaurant overlooking the old harbor.

It's known for its real ale beers and quality cuisine, including vegetarian options, making it a popular spot for boaters and locals alike.
