Pubs in Newport

Coach & Horses

Cambridge Road, Newport CB11 3TR

An ex-coaching inn on the main road through Newport. The pub can be used for functions and has an excellent kitchen. There is a very large garden with interesting children's activities and the pub is on the North side of Newport village. This pub serves great locally sourced traditional food.

White Horse Inn

Belmont Hill, Newport CB11 3RF

On the main road in the middle of Newport, this is a friendly drinkers' local, serving three changing ales, all from the from Marston's group. It is a transformed ex-Greene King house focused on the community, having been purchased by a local business. Extensive repair work has been done to the building, and the change of ownership, with a new enthusiastic licensee, has raised its popularity as a beer drinkers' destination. Food is served on Tuesday evening only.

Newport Social Club

Elephant Green, Newport CB11 3RB

This club is on the main road in the middle of Newport with the entrance on the side road to Elephant Green. It is a club with a full size snooker table and darts and it completes in local leagues. Guests are welcome to try this club however regular visits will require membership.

Red Lion

47 Stow Hill, Newport NP20 1JH

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.

John Wallace Linton

19-21 Cambrian Road, Newport NP20 4AD

The first Wetherspoon pub in Wales in 1995 brought about the transformation of a former night club into a very successful rendezvous for its daytime crowd, including shoppers and commuters. It's also a popular meeting place in the evenings for those wishing to sample the local night life. The interior is spacious with a variety of seating, some handily placed to watch the news or sports channel on TV. Attractive modern artwork shares wall space with pictures of Newport's past history and personalities associated with the city. It is named after WWII hero John Wallace aka 'Tubby' Linton VC, DSO, DSC, RN, commander of HM Submarine Turbulent that sunk over 90,000 tons of enemy shipping before the boat itself was sunk with all hands at 09:00 on 12 March 1943. Commander Linton was awarded a posthumous VC in May 1943. There is a corner of the pub near the front dedicated to those who served on Turbulent and a plaque listing the names of those who lost their lives.

Alexandra Inn

89 Commercial Road, Newport NP20 2GX

Alma Inn

6 Commercial Street, Newport NP20 2PA

Karaoke/disco on Friday. West bound bus services run from outside the Police HQ diagonally opposite the pub with inbound services by the shops and eating places in the opposite direction.

Angel

39 West Street, Newport NP20 4DD

Basic backstreet corner boozer, very close to the city centre, that went through a spell as an end of week venue (Friends Lounge) before closing for a while, then reopening as a restaurant. February 2016 saw it revert to a pub, with its original name. Whether it can recapture its old trade remains to be seen. Currently (Nov 2021) for sale.

Hot Rocks

129 Chepstow Road, Newport NP19 8EG

Large popular open plan bar situated alongside the busy eastbound bus stop in the centre of Maindee's shopping, dining and entertainment area. Apart from live music there is karaoke on Sunday evenings. It once served a cask ale but sadly this is no longer the case. Leasehold for sale with Rightmove.

Breeze

6-8 Cambrian Road, Newport NP20 4AD

A former late night time venue now trading as a popular restaurant with an extensive bar area. The emphasis is on home-cooked food where the menu includes a range of favourite dishes plus what are described as "man versus food" style meals in Breeze's Mega Challenges for those with great appetites, e.g. "epic Mountain Burger", "gargantuan Mega Dog", "colossal Mega Mixed Grill". A VIP area has been created for special occasions.

Carpenters

9 High Street, Newport NP20 1FQ

Claiming to be Newport's oldest pub dating from 1403, the narrow frontage is deceptive as it gives access to a long interior on three levels. The main bar counter has smart red padded panels while several screens keep you up-to-date with various sports and news. Around the walls are pictures of local sporting heroes, some set in recesses. There is a games room with a pool table at the lower rear while upstairs the "Chill Out Zone" has a pool table, sofas and a 10,000 track rock jukebox. Appreciate rock music? Enjoy it here. Food can be chosen from a varied menu at competitive prices: pub favourites including grills, pizzas, burgers, ciabattas, jackets, and a Sunday roast. The ales may be served under pressure. A good mix of clientele sees the more mature customers occupying the front of the premises with younger folk preferring the rear sections. Weekly events include a quiz (Thu), DJ (Wed & Fri), 60s, 70s & 80s disco on Fridays. High Street bus stops outside.

Church House Inn

14 Portland Street, Newport NP20 2DP
