Hereford Arms
37 Hereford Street, Newport NP19 8DT
After a period of closure, this is a basic traditional back street boozer much favoured by the bikng fraternity - a notice board provides info on local clubs and events.It once sold real ale and many interesting brews have passed this way, just take a look at the dozens of pumpclip stickers adorning the high gantry behind the bar. A pub of few frills but real character and characters. Real bikes with rock music make for a heady mix.
Olde Murenger House
52-53 High Street, Newport NP20 1GA
The title 'Murenger' referred to the tax collector charged with collecting the 'murage' or money for the upkeep of the town walls. The title was discontinued in 1324 and eventually the original stone built Murenger house was demolished in 1816. Today's building has a traditional date of origin of 1530, although some sources place it earlier, some later at 1541. The half-timbered black & white building was first mentioned in 1533 when it was the town house of the Herberts of St Julians Manor (Sir Charles Herbert was High Sheriff of Monmouthshire in 1541). Upstairs, out of public view, are plaster mouldings of intertwined Tudor roses and Spanish pineapples, symbolising the marriage of Henry VIII to Catherine of Aragon. It later appears to have become a pub before becoming a warehouse where it's thought a Chartist leader, John Frost, may have had his drapery business here in 1830. It was an eating house by the mid 1800s and again licensed to sell beer. Old 19th century photos show the Old Murenger House selling Bass ale. Samuel Smith's of Tadcaster restored the pub in the early 1980s and it reopened in 1983. Today it is a characterful well run pub still strongly linked to Newport's medieval past with a decor and ambience to match thanks to Sam Smith's sympathetic treatment of this Tudor building. There's no music or TV but who cares? Just settle down in one of several linked sections and enjoy a pint of a fine Yorkshire brew at a keen price while taking in the cosy dark wooded low beamed Victorian style interior, high back settles (some upholstered), and general hubbub of a traditional pub. Dotted around the walls are pictures depicting mainly local scenes and personalities of bygone days. Note also the collection of books for sale, the proceeds of which are donated to a local hospice.
St Julian Inn
Caerleon Road, Newport NP18 1QA
Excellent CAMRA award winner fully deserving its high popularity rating and one of the best-run pubs in the area. A central bar serves adjoining but discrete areas which include a lounge panelled with wood salvaged from the Doric, a former ocean liner that was broken up by Cashmores at Newport. There is a cosy nook with sofas adjacent to the games/pool room and seats near the bar counter where access is gained to the popular riverside balcony which gives superb views of the local countryside and towards historic Caerleon. Pub games include boules and skittles, the latter skittles alley doubling as a function room. Interesting guest ales sit alongside the core range. Friday afternoon is a popular slot when local Jazz and string musicians gather for a few hours to entertain. The pub is a short drive away from the Celtic Manor Resort, host of golf's 2010 Ryder Cup. The northbound bus stop is immediately outside, while the southbound (to Newport) 80 metres away.
Pen & Wig
22-24 Stow Hill, Newport NP20 1JD
Large pub formed out of former business premises. The interior is essentially open plan but is skilfully divided up into a number of areas and levels creating a rambling feel, all enhanced by much use of wooden decor and columns near the ornate bar counter. Live music features and there is a large function room, sometimes referred to as the club, upstairs which is available for hire. The pub attracts a good cross section of customers and has built up a loyal clientele since it first emerged on the scene. It sells prodigious amounts of Draught Bass, it being the last local bastion of this famous Burton Upon Trent ale which was once commonly available in the city centre. The pub is a strong supporter of Welsh breweries while occasionally it sells ales from further afield. A dark ale is nearly always on sale. Look around to see the impressive number of pumpclip stickers arrayed around the upper level of the walls. A choice of Lilley's ciders is also available. At the rear of the premises is a large decked area with a TV which is very popular in fine weather. This area was considerably enhanced during a Covid lockdown in early 2021 when only outdoor service was available. The kitchen/grill specialises in steaks but also offers a good range of food catering mainly for carnivores but with some and vegetarian options. Two sections are laid up for dining but you can more or less eat anywhere. Sunday evening has seen the return of live jazz while open mic night on Thursday is popular. There is a bus stop at the rear for some westbound services.
Tredegar Arms
Caerphilly Road, Newport NP10 8LE
This imposing 200+ years old coaching inn dominates a roundabout at the top of Forge Lane. Now a Greene King outlet offering a selection of their ales. Many years ago, part of the pub was known as the Balaclava Room and commemorated Godfrey Morgan, Viscount Tredegar, surviving the ill-fated 'Charge of the Light Brigade'. The pub was once part of the extensive Tredegar Estate.A refurbishment recently has seen the bar area opened up by removing some panelling, giving a more spacious feel. The former stillage area has now been incorporated into the bar, which now has 7 handpulls seving four GK beers. The larger of the two dining areas is partly divided by an attractive fireplace, visible from both sides, and which enables the rear section to be used for private parties. A family dining room leads to a garden with a children's play area. A large custom-built heated smoking area is next to the rear entrance, and a large marquee in the garden provides a covered outside drinking area.
Tiny Rebel
22-23 High Street, Newport NP20 1FX
Occupying premises to the left of the High St entrance to the market, this is Tiny Rebel Brewery's spiritual home and very much a major player in Newport's real ale scene. Fairly minimalist decor, though adorned with the Tiny Rebel motif and various artwork in that now familiar and distinctive contemporary style. Very much focused on real (and craft keg) ale, and appealing to the younger element. A lounge (aka the Cwtch) of sorts is downstairs, with comfortable seating arrayed around low tables. In this area you may view the impressive cellar while a Newport dragon is positioned where the lavatories may be found. The outdoor area has awnings to provide shelter when needed. Freshly prepared food in the form of homemade stone-baked pizzas and fresh Italian pastas available along with a choice of salads, sides and desserts, many ingredients locally sourced. The real ale range nearly always includes four from the host brewery plus a couple of interesting guests sourced nationwide. Be warned the prices are upmarket for the area but if you want quality. ... However, a bargain can be had on Monday when The Cask Ale Club sees cask ales sold at £2.50 a pint. Also look out for other deals: Tuesday Flight Night and Wednesday Snack Attack. The pub is also on Instagram. A note for vegans: all Tiny Rebel's bottled ales are suitable for vegans. Has a frequently updated list of available beers and ciders here: https://www.tinyrebel.co.uk/bars/newport-centre/beers-on-tap/ Be aware that the staff have an eclectic taste in music.
Cellar Door
5, Clytha Park Road, Newport NP20 4NZ
Newport's much anticipated first micropub opened in early November 2017. After a few months of hard graft fitting out the premises, this former shop has been transformed into a welcoming traditional bar a short walk from Newport railway station and city centre. As is the case with most micro pubs, there is no obtrusive noise from TV or games machines etc, although there is some background music, and regular live music from local musicians on Thursday and Sunday. Mainly it's just the hubbub of conversation, that old-fashioned means of communication where people get to know each other and share a joke or put the world to rights. The bar is cosy with some modern artwork exhibited on the walls which is changed regularly. Three cask ales, nearly always including a dark one, are sourced from small breweries with bottle-conditioned ales from Anglo Oregon and occasionally bottled beers from other local breweries. There's a selection of up to eight bag-in-the-box ciders on sale, mainly from local producers, helping it to win the Welsh Cider Pub of the Year award for 2018. An addition in late 2019 was a much needed overspill room in a former storage room.

New Inn
2 Stafford Road, Newport TF10 7LX
Reopened in 2016 by Joule's, and expanded and modernised in typical Joule's style; lots of wood paneling, flooring, and decoration but retains some of the old features such as Latch Doors. The original two rooms have been incorporated into a largely open plan layout, but with small areas off for more intimate socialising. There is a Yorkist fireplace in the snug area plus a central wood burner for winter comfort. A large beer garden has been incorporated and increased seating area added in spring 2021. Full range of Joule's ales served including their seasonal craft beers and cask ales plus a guest beer on at all times and Weston's Rosie's Pig cider, plus other traditional guest cider available.

Pheasant Inn
68 Upper Bar, High Street, Newport TF10 7AW
Located on the High Street this large popular sports-orientated pub re-opened in November 2018 after a large refurbishment. At the time of re-opening the plan was to listen to their customers suggestions and offer the most popular choice of two real ales. A single bar serves a large seating area with many nooks and crannies. There is an area at the rear with a pool table. Three large TV screens feed the appetite of sports fans with a further TV screen under cover in the large enclosed courtyard area to the rear of the pub. This courtyard has numerous bench seating where you can view the stable block which holds the function room at ground level and there are plans to covert the rooms above to accommodation.

Swan Inn
4 Lower Bar, Newport TF10 7BQ
Cosy, atmospheric and welcoming Marston's three-roomed pub with interesting wall tiling and artefacts. The tiny snug, now partly opened up to the public bar, is by far the best area and the half-panelling is, in parts, very old and attractively patterned. Accommodation consists of seven double and one single guest rooms, all en-suite. Very close to centre of town.

Car parking space is available on the opposite side of the road.
Llwyngwair Arms
East Street, Newport SA42 0SY
A centrally situated stone traditional pub with good beers and atmosphere within easy reach of the coastal path.

The annual mayoral ceremony is also held here each November.
Medina Quay
Seaclose, Fairlea Road, Newport PO30 2DN
Ten minutes walk from the centre of Newport along the banks of the River Medina or drive following the directions in Fairlee Road. The pub is adjacent to the local Premier Inn, and, as one might expect, the accent is very much on food. It’s a pleasant, tasteful modern establishment, divided into discrete areas with a patio overlooking the Medina. However it concentrates on being a restaurant for which they advise booking a table (see web page). There is a small drinking only area.
George Inn
92 Upper St James Street, Newport PO30 1LB
Busy, comfortable Georgian Town Centre Pub of some character, much renovated and refurbished but still maintaining a traditional atmosphere. Heavy emphasis on food, which is available until 9pm, 10pm summer. An island brewed beer often available in summer. Large pleasant garden with access to public car park. Disabled toilets and baby changing facilities.
Hogshead
20 High Street, Newport PO30 1SS
Large, noisy High Street pub at the lower end of town, this former shop has many sports TVs, and is popular with younger people, particularly in the evening, though the clientele is quite varied. The refurbishment has enlarged the sports area, provided magnificent disabled loos, and improved the entire premises, while keeping a friendly local pub feel. The beers are well kept with one or more local breweries represented. Cider is available and there's a good selection of bottled craft beers and sensibly priced food.
Wheatsheaf Hotel
16 St Thomas' Square, Newport PO30 1SG
This is an old coaching inn of great antiquity, and was the last Island pub to have no bar counter (service was from a corner of the bar), before this interesting feature disappeared with successive refurbishments, although there are still many authentic features such as old beams and flagstones. In recent years it has undergone a major rebuild, which has vastly increased its size. The children’s room is actually the old courtyard and the far side of the bar was once the shop next door. The pub opens at 9am for breakfasts, and the outdoor area consists of tables and chairs in the pedestrian precinct for that alfresco dining experience. Pub food in the bar, restaurant next door. Sunday Roast available.
Newport Ale House
24A Holyrood Street, Newport PO30 5AZ
The building is a Grade 2 listed and has previously traded as a hairdresser, coffin storage for an undertaker, a Posting House and stables for a coaching inn. It is the Island’s smallest pub, no bigger than a front room, recalling the days when there were several such establishments in Newport (though it’s unlikely its predecessors sported flock wallpaper). This is a hugely popular pub with all generations, where conversation comes easy - it can get very crowded and noisy sometimes! Often live music including Sunday afternoons. Beer choice always interesting & varied, including 3 constantly changing sk ales served by gravity. No meals, but snacks are high quality locally sourced pub pies, rolls and sandwiches. There is a similar, former sister pub, in Cowes.
Man in the Moon
16-17, St James Street, Newport PO30 5HB
Opened in May 2014, this is an impressive conversion of the former Congregational Church, much extended, which had previously served as a nightclub. The character of the original church has been well maintained, and the extensions are modern, but tastefully sympathetic. There are a number of drinking/eating areas, including an upstairs gallery. There is also an outdoor area where dogs and children are welcome, but smokers are restricted to a section by the front wall. Although this is very much a food-led pub,the beers are very well kept, as one expects from Wetherspoon, with a good selection of local ales featuring among the guest beers; you're more likely to find the excellent Island Brewery RDA here than anywhere else locally. A cider is often available on handpump.
Railway Medina
1 Sea Street, Newport PO30 5BU
Excellent, popular and comfortable unspoilt street corner local with a cosy atmosphere inside & pleasant seating area outside. Its name comes from being the closest to the now demolished Newport Railway Station and the pub contains many links to the Railway with interesting photographs and items of memorabilia. Pizzas, Burgers and similar available noon to two. Pre-ordered roast on Sunday lunchtime.
Prince of Wales
36 South Street, Newport PO30 1JE
This excellent mock Tudor single bar street corner local in the middle of town has built a fine reputation for well kept ale, with up to three available from the Punch list, usually Finest Cask. Located opposite the Bus Station and Morrisons, this is very much a locals’ pub and retains the feel of the public bar. The pub has a good games following. A real gem.
Castle Inn
91 High Street, Newport PO30 1BQ
Expect one dark and one light ale from varied national breweries. Dating back to at least 1550 the pub was damaged by fire in 1684 when the front wall was rebuilt using Dutch bricks. It is said that Charles I used to visit the pub, under armed guard, whilst he was held prisoner in Carisbrooke Castle. The bar, now one room, used to be made up of five small rooms with one being licensed to conduct civil weddings. There was a hidden tunnel leading into the Castle grounds and another leading to a building in the town centre. Much ancient flagstone and wood inside, and an enlarged outside seating area.
Bargeman's Rest
Little London Quay, Newport PO30 5BS
This locally owned massive pub development is located in what has been an animal feed store, a sail and rigging loft for servicing the commercial barge fleet that used to use the river. The huge bar has been well designed to provide intimate drinking areas and the nautical memorabilia, decor and ambience are what you you would expect from a traditional, well seasoned pub. The outdoor drinking area is only a few feet from the bustling River Medina. Beer and food are consistently good and different local beers are often available. Live entertainment on most nights. There are function rooms on the upper floors.
Calverts Hotel
Quay Street, Newport PO30 5BA
The Hotel was originally built in 1732 and was once the home of the Mayor of Newport and later to a succession of Surgeons. The Hotel was named Calverts when the 'Warburtons' was purchased by Malcolm Calvert in 1970 and now provides 32 en-suite bedrooms, bars, restaurant and function rooms.
