One of the last remaining traditional pubs in the city just off the centre. Styled as an ale house with two large casks hanging over the bar and an old beer engine on display, it retains a local feel whilst welcoming visitors from far and wide. There is a heavy emphasis on sport and rugby union in particular, note the WRU club crests on display as well as pictures. It's a regular haunt for followers of Newport Saracens, Newport RFC and the Dragons teams. The Shove Ha'penny board is well used and often draws interest from those not familiar with this little known pub game where Newport remains one of its few strongholds. Well worth seeking out and just far enough away from the night club scene to retain a convivial atmosphere. Live music on a Sunday evening is popular.
