A YouTuber visited one of the so-called worst seaside towns in Britain — but said he felt at home there where old school boozers bursting with character were filled with regulars enjoying cheap pints.

Danny, who runs the Honest Places channel, was exploring Llandudno and Rhyl in North Wales, with the latter being dubbed “Costa Del Dole”.

The town is full of derelict buildings and pubs and shops which have shut down. And despite previously being a hotspot for tourists, the pier, funfair and shopping centre have long been a thing of the past.

The Telegraph ranked it as one of the worst seaside towns in Britain three years ago and called it “Blackpool after a neutron bomb”. Danny meanwhile referred to it as “Britain’s saddest seaside town” in his YouTube title before he spoke about it with fondness after arriving.

He said: “We have come to Rhyl because I felt a bit too out of place (in Llandudno). I feel actually at home in Rhyl.

“This is the front — it is such a contrast to Llandudno. I know people say British seaside towns have gone to s***. But they have been s*** for ages. This is a real British seaside town. Most of them are s*** and that is a real seaside town.

“So Whitby is a seaside town but it’s not a real British seaside town because the real ones are the ones that are like this, like Blackpool.

“But the main reason I came here, I didn’t want to go to another pub in Llandudno because it is just a bit tepid really.”

He added: “There are some proper tasty pubs I went into last time where the barman and bar staff were just shouting at the customers and stuff like that.”

The first boozer he and a pal went to was Victory Club on Queen Street which has been serving punters for over 70 years.

He wasn’t overly impressed by his pint of Caffrey’s Stout but said: “The gaff is alright though isn’t it?”

His friend replied: “Yeah, tidy and reasonably cheap.”

However, if they thought paying £4 a pint was decent value, they then got a pleasant surprise in the next pub they visited.

They were tempted to go into The Bodfor and after hearing the loud music inside, Danny laughed: “It does look good in there, doesn’t it? It reminds me a bit like Benidorm!”

He added: “People will watch this back and say you should have went in but I’ve got a better boozer for you.”

Danny then approached the Imperial Hotel pub and said it was like being in someone’s living room inside.

While at the bar, he declared that he had never had a pint of Fosters in his life, before giving it a go.

And gazing at his pint, he said: “That head is beautiful! I don’t think I’ve had better head.”

Taking a sip, he then said it was “fitting” to have a Fosters in Rhyl, before his mate replied: “Absolutely, for what it is, it’s a good pint. You want a fizzy, cold, tasteless pint. That’s what you get.”

Danny then said he was enjoying it more than he expected before he asked how cheap it was.

And after being told it was just £2.70, he raved: “Granted, it’s Fosters. But at that price, you can’t kick off. That’s got to be a 10/10.”

His companion then said you could have a cracking night out in Rhyl even if you simply had a tenner and some spare change in your pocket.

Stepping outside after their pints, Danny said: “We got some nice little tasty pubs, we saw Rhyl, it hasn’t changed. I don’t think it will change.”

It was reported last year that change would come to Rhyl, which is home to four beaches, thanks to £200million which has been pumped into it in the past ten years, according to Denbighshire County Council.

The town also received £20million from the government’s Levelling Up fund three years ago.
