World renowned jazz pub, named after Duke Ellington, on a corner of the cobbled King Street, where there are several other busy pubs. There is live music seven nights a week, and also Saturday and Sunday afternoons, always with free entry. The central bar has an L-shaped drinking area around it, the stage to the right, and wooden chairs elsewhere. The pub does get very busy when there is live music on, but if it gets too busy inside there are plenty of wooden tables outside which are shared with the Llandoger Trow on the opposite side of the pedestrianised road.
