A pioneering micropub, which has resurrected a large part of a former Whitbread pub that ceased trading decades ago. A blackboard dominates one wall listing the ales, ciders, and bottled “craft” beers available, set either side of an outline of Wales pinpointing from where the Welsh ales have been sourced. The bar counter is a lip-smacking sight to behold with eight handpumps dispensing at least six primarily Welsh ales, some of which are brewed locally. Beer flights of three thirds of a pint are popular for those seeking tasters. Lovers of fermented fruit haven’t been forgotten with a selection of real ciders to sample. It only takes a few people to be present to generate a really pleasant and relaxing atmosphere. A serial winner of Gwent CAMRA Pub of the Year awards. Regulars arrange numerous social outings.
