The building is a Grade 2 listed and has previously traded as a hairdresser, coffin storage for an undertaker, a Posting House and stables for a coaching inn.
It is the Island’s smallest pub, no bigger than a front room, recalling the days when there were several such establishments in Newport (though it’s unlikely its predecessors sported flock wallpaper). This is a hugely popular pub with all generations, where conversation comes easy - it can get very crowded and noisy sometimes! Often live music including Sunday afternoons. Beer choice always interesting & varied, including 3 constantly changing sk ales served by gravity. No meals, but snacks are high quality locally sourced pub pies, rolls and sandwiches. There is a similar, former sister pub, in Cowes.
Real 'beer', real pub, super friendly. Those that know, know. (Walked in and felt like it was my own local- cask ales, pickled eggs, and some!) When visiting, do look at the vast arrays of beer mats, not one repeated. A must visit place in Newport for a good ale.
A pub selling very nice real ale and regular beers, spirits and soft drinks. It consists of a one room bar with great character, a lovley snug for you and your friends.
Super friendly place with chatty locals. Selection of ales behind the bar and they do beer flights for the same price as a pint!
On my first quick visit there was a choice of three cask beers direct from the barrel. I had the tasty Elgoods Route 66. I did not enquire about food but this is a place for beer lovers and the locals were chatty.
Tiny but very friendly pub in Newport. Definitely a pub for the locals but they were very welcoming to this solo traveller and it felt like a home away from home. A big shout out to Rod behind the bar for fostering such a friendly welcoming community. A cosy, casual, warm vibe in the pub, all packed into a fairly small space. Nice warm fire in winter. Live music twice a week. Open mic and quiz night also feature on the weekly agenda. A rota of cask ales as well as on tap, all at very reasonable prices. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Newport.
