Weird Dad Brewery Tap, Newport

This quirky venture is a craft beer shop and bar that opened in 2021. It is home to Weird Dad Brewery, a small nanobrewery conceived in 2020, and is licensed for both on and off sales, so you can sample while you consider what to take home. The cosy interior comprises a small bar from which draught beers (a mix of cask and other live ales listed on a white board) are dispensed and alongside which are two fridges full of bottled and canned delights. This section has a large screen displaying the drinks offerings which on other days is a TV for sport on demand. The centre of brewing operations can be viewed from this room. There are high stools alongside the windows if you like to watch the world go by.

In 2024, an upstairs space was added and which is suitable for use as a small function room. Outside and to the side is a small beer garden that sits below the embanked GWR mainline and which is decorated with a railway-themed mural.

Bus stops are nearby on Caerleon Road, Chepstow Road, and Clarence Place.
