This is a hotel, which means that the bar is only open to residents.

A fine old building with the former Cross Keys Hotel name etched into the windows. These days it operates as an express booking hotel so what non-residential access is permitted is unknown. In its former guise, it had a large interior which used to comprise a traditional public bar, two dining rooms and a function room. The public bar had an attractive gantry with a host of trophies displayed on it while a serving hatch caters for those using other parts of the building.

Information for this venue is provided by the Gwent Branch of CAMRA
