Victoria Vaults, Newtown

One of Newtown’s single room establishments in the Irish/Scots tradition the basic no frills Vic Vaults is found in a three story Georgian building in the town centre. A rectangular bar sits in the middle of the one room which still has space for tv and jukebox, there are indoor toilets and an outside smoking area to the rear. Once owned by a James Nunn who had a short lived brewery to the rear of the property and these days an interesting and well kept guest beer is seen rotated on the bar. Like most pubs in the town it relies on wet sales and a steady number seem to drink here all day long, it tends not to get descended on by the youthful weekend crowd too badly and can be something of a haven on a busy Saturday night. Popular with darts and domino players the pub has comfortable wall seating and numerous nautical pictures on the walls reflecting the landlords naval past.
