Grade II listed residential hotel built in 1863 by Henry Pearce Bolt that has seen many changes in recent years including a spell as a popular Lloyds No 1, part of the JD Wetherspoon chain. The general layout retains some of the characteristics of the old hotel giving the front bar something of an odd layout with pillars appearing to be in the wrong place but nonetheless giving a cosy feel amongst its various sections. At the rear is an area overlooking the downstairs bar which has a dance floor with light reflecting globe chandeliers, and two TVs for quieter times. There is a lift to enable disabled customers to access the lower bar and toilets.
Sold to ODS Group and now trading as a tapas bar and restaurant sadly with no real ale.
Update May 2024: Reported to be operating as a B&B only, no restaurant.
Historic Interest
This grade II listed building was built in 1863, named after Queen Victoria (the reigning monarch) and dominated the western end of Bridge Street - which soon became known as Queen's Square. The Queen's Hotel was the work of Henry Pearce Bolt. Originally a stonemason from Devon, Bolt lived in Newport for several years, where his work made him a builder of some renown. Bolt built his own home in the nearby hamlet of Christchurch and named it Hatherleigh House, after the village of his birth. He later served as Mayor of Newport (1875-76) and gave his name to Bolt Street, Pillgwenlly, as well as Bolt's Row, Chepstow Road. JD Wetherspoon invested £882,500 on bringing the building back to life.
