The 30 Best Bar pub in Newport

“What a lovely place. Owners are nice and the food and coffee is amazing. I was really surprised with this place, I think it’s probably the best caffe in Newport and I have tried all of them. Only found this place today. Will likely be a regular.”

“We had a lovely meal here. The menu was fabulous and lots of choice. We particularly liked the paella, chicken skewers, prawns and peppers. Staff were amazing and a beautiful place inside and out. Highly recommended”

“Took my niece here today, my sister recommended this place before as an amazing alternative bar, popped in and Romi Lane was playing live she was brilliant, overall a great atmosphere and vibe! Staff friendly and professional, definitely have to go again.”

“Banging special pizzas from the owner.. great customer service paid 20£ for two 12” the owner gave me a can and 2 sauces for free !! I recommend red chilli 10/10 amazing!!”

“Played pool against the team, always enjoys going there, however being epileptic, if manager isn't there, I find it hard to go into the pub”

“Tried new bottomless brunch with sister and daughter,a good but smaller selection to eat and drink but not disappointed with both. service excellent (thank you Emily) as always definitely will be back”

“Went here for "Chicken Tuesday" recently and had a lovely meal. Fresh hot food and attentive staff. Worth saying they had the worlds most awkward table of customers near to us and handled the situation very well considering how rude and obnoxious the couples son was. It's a shame there's not a better cider selection or anything on tap but no complaints apart from that. Will definitely visit again ☺️”

“My first ever visit to a TGI Friday and I was rather impressed. The staff were friendly and management came out to assist with a specific dietary concern with my guest. The food was hot and beautiful, we even met Darth Vader in the reception entrance to the restaurant. The dips are fantastic, the burger very juicy and super tasty. A definite 10/10 and look forward to returning. By the time we left the restaurant it was buzzing with nearly all tables full. A very popular restaurant in Cardiff. Many Thanks TGI Fridays even on a Monday night.”

“TGIs is hands down the best bottomless brunch in newport! I absolutely LOVE their June Buy and purple rain. I'm a wheelchair user, and they always accommodate me and take us to a table where I can just wheel up and stay in my chair. The customer's service is also really good, and Isabelle Amelia is so polite to bless her. Happy staff is a credit to the place and the management x”

“I stay at the Holiday Inn Newport most weeks, and it never fails to deliver. From the moment you walk through the doors, the warm welcome and consistently high standard of service set the tone for a great stay. A special mention has to go to Emma and Liz, who always go above and beyond to make guests feel valued. Their professionalism, friendliness, and genuine care make such a difference – nothing is ever too much trouble, and they are a real credit to the hotel. The bar and restaurant team also deserve huge praise. Service is always attentive and welcoming, and the food is excellent. Breakfast in particular is a highlight – a great choice, fresh, and always served with a smile, which makes starting the day that little bit better. It’s rare to find such consistency week after week, but this hotel delivers it every time. The staff really do make the difference here, and it’s the reason I keep coming back. Holiday Inn Newport truly sets the standard for hospitality.”

“Best pint of guinnes in newport by far. Me and my auntie are fussy guiness dri kers, it's like drinking cream”

“What an amazing place! Great selection of drinks, great atmosphere and a real joy of a venue for live music! It's personal, joyous and bloody wonderfully unique.”

“A wonderful pub with very friendly staff and customers. Was made to feel welcome as always. Look forward to our next visit.”

“Cozy, well decorated coffee shop with a great selection of hot and cold drinks and divine homemade cakes! Haven’t had brunch there yet but all the food coming out the kitchen looked and smelled delish. Lovely staff, friendly and welcoming. Bonus that it was dog friendly too! Lush!”

“The food at the Thackeray is always consistent with high quality food. They offer the best roast dinner in Wales! They change the daily specials menu, daily and have unique options. They offer a great selection of drinks - including cocktails and wine. The staff are always friendly and offer great service. Highly recommend.”

“Plenty of parking..lovely lil pub..friendly staff..always feel welcome xx”

“What a great boozer. Popped in for a quick pint but ended staying for a couple as the atmosphere was so warm. Wished I had time to stay longer. Old school style pub and mean that in the most positive of ways. I'll be going back for sure!”

“Fabulous food. The quality and the taste of the food was excellent. We tried some dishes that we have not had in other Indian restaurants, (Lamb Jamdhani & Korai Kebab Kyberi) we were amazed. Staff are very welcoming and managed to squeeze us in at short notice.”

“We went here with our oldest daughter for lunch. Absolutely fantastic. Wide choice of dishes. Excellent service from helpful and friendly staff. I wish we had a Drago Lounge where we live in the far north of Scotland.”

“Stopped in for a drink, I had the strawberry milkshake which was lovely! The staff were really friendly and service was quick. The milkshake itself was a little on the expensive side but was absolutely gorgeous so worth the extra money if you’re looking for a good milkshake!”

“Our table was booked for 7.30pm. We early and allowed to sit at our table. We also to order early too. Food was served within 15 minutes. Well presented and very tasty. Staff were very friendly and efficient. Lovely night night for my 60th birthday with my husband. Thank you”

“Amazing slow smoked ribs and a steak! Very reasonably priced good atmosphere. Thoroughly enjoyed.”

“Our first experience of dining here ( Sunday lunch) although we have been here to drink and watch the rugby. Our meal was delicious, we couldn't fault it. Beautifully presented and extremely tasty, a cut above most pub Sunday dinners. Infact, best one we've ever had, and we've had a few. The staff were lovely, friendly and full of spark, nothing was too much trouble. We love this place; it's so 'normal' and relaxing and the clientele friendly, chatty and welcoming. We'll be back!! Catherine and Richard”

“Amazing afternoon tea, fresh ,super tasty great surroundings . Couldn't have done enough for us. Will definitely be back THANK YOU SO MUCH XX”

“We had a brilliant family get-together here last Sunday. We booked at short notice and the staff were so accommodating even giving us a private area for our party of 17, where we were also able to watch the football. Everybody ate and the food and service was superb! Also great value. Would highly recommend and look forward to going back.”

“Had Christmas lunch at the Monkstone. Absolutely excellent. Food was gorgeous and staff couldn't do enough.”
