A short if hilly walk from the bus stops in the Square, you walk past the chip shop and up the steps to find the pub. From its vantage point at the top of town, the Atlantic enjoys good views over the harbour and bay from the terrace tables and bar, the latter being constructed in the shape of a ship's hull. Behind is a quiet lounge/restaurant, with interesting murals and many old photos of the port to compensate for the lack of views. One of the beers on offer is usually Skinner's Betty Stogs or Bay's Topsail; the other beers are varied but there is generally at least one Cornish brew in the mix. Cider is from Weston's. The bar food is of good quality and value; families and dogs on leads are welcome. Quiz night most Mondays; the pub also sponsors the Porthleven gig, and hosts a beer festival in spring and again in November.
