The Mermaid Inn

Situated at the entrance to St Mary's Harbour Quay, The Mermaid Inn is the Isles of Scilly's most iconic public house. Traditionally the haunt of smugglers, pirates and fishermen, the pub is still firmly connected to its maritime past. Now the destination of choice for sailors and more legitimate boatmen, this traditional inn is the social hub of St Mary’s. Experience the Slip Inn bar and bistro or The Mermaid restaurant both of which overlook the old quay and St Mary’s Harbour and have stunning views of Samson, Bryher and Tresco. While the main bar retains its historic character, The Slip Inn and Mermaid restaurant exude a fresher and contemporary maritime feel offering fine real ales, quality cuisine, friendly service and a warm welcome.
