comment - Pub changed hands in Feb 2003 and if you visit again in
the future I'm sure the results will be better than the last time! Now with new licensee and cellarman, the real ales are still of the same quality but now include Deuchars IPA as a permanent fixture and 1 guest ale which is changed weekly, to include the old favourites like Speckled Hen, Spitfire and Bombardier - Mar 2007 |

 Freehouse. What is
it with Newport pubs - most seem to be filled with noisy customers who enjoy smoking - and
this one is no different. Pool table and several real ales are available. Special offers
on the Banks's Bitter. The Brains SDA was a nice temperature but disappointingly fizzy.
Situated on Upper Bar. Tel - 01952 811521. Visited June 2002 |
