Fantastic place for a drink in Pontypridd! Been back a few times, and love that they serve wrexham lager on tap!!
Great Free Comedy night for comedians testing their sets before Fringe. Sharps Atlantic ale was good on trap. Nice beer garden area outside. Nice venue doing its bit to keep Pontypridd interesting
Really friendly host. A great space. Upstairs was wonderfully spacious for the groups needs and we had access to plenty of chairs and tables, and tea/coffee facilities. The bar downstairs is cosy and welcoming with great seating. Drink selection was limited but at good prices. Hope to visit again soon.
Fantastic little pub that is surprisingly big inside. You kinda expect the small bar as you go in on the left but it has a huge room straight on that's a surprise. They put on a range of bands and events inc bands, matches and community events. Very supportive of local groups has role playing group that meets regularly, LGBTQIA group and loads of others Air purifiers were added post refurbish from flood a few years ago in ponty and lockdowns Has a meeting room above that's available for hire and really friendly staff. Great place to practice your Welsh but don't feel out of place if you don't, as you won't be judged if you're not a Welsh speaker. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Has great vibe whether it's quiet or full of people. They have good disabled access as flat throughout lower floor and good size on disabled toilet. They are keen to take on board ideas how to improve access as one of the volunteers asked if I had any thoughts and ideas when they reopenaed about toilet facilities for disabled persons. Upstairs meeting room is only accessible by stairs but I know they will do best to move booking to lower floor if possible if access is an issue. It more than a pub it's a community hub
Brilliant place. Got there early today. Over an hour before it was open. There was a guy writing a sign outside. He let us sit on the veranda overlooking the river and let us purchase two pints. A sometimes forgotten gem of a place. Don't pass it by.
A great bar for quality beer and quality entertainment, they always have top bands on. A friendly atmosphere with helpful staff. Recommended for a top night out.
Meet people of all ages who like a pint & a chat (they do speak English as well ;0). Has regular live music in the back bar which is popular!
We went to sing there with my choir for Mari Lwyd. Nice ambiance, lovely staff and so traditional.
