Green Dragon
Mount St, Welshpool SY21 7LW
A Grade II listed town pub which was established way back in 1754 and relies completely on wet sales. Large open bar on two levels with a pool table at the higher level and a comfortable lower level with large screen TV. Originally much smaller, the pub was extended into the house next door in the early 1980's. There is a small function room with it's own bar to the rear. Even though only one ale is served, it is sourced locally and is usually a good standard.
Pheasant Inn
43 High Street, Welshpool SY21 7JQ
The Pheasant is a Grade II listed building in a terrace of 18th century former town houses, a document dated 1747 noting it was newly built. The false exterior timbering added in the early 1980's has been removed greatly improving the look of the pub. Much modified internally the pub is now one room with pool and darts in the middle. A door towards the rear gives access to the outdoor drinking/ smoking area. In the latter part of the 20th century twice weekly discos were held in an upstairs room, now no longer in use. In days gone by this wet let local was The Upper Pheasant, this was because the Westwood was also know as the Pheasant. A third guest ale is sometimes available at the weekends making this a must stop on any pub tour.
Raven Inn
Raven Square, Welshpool SY21 7LT
The pub is situated next to the Welshpool and Llanfair Light Railway station. It has an olde world atmosphere and is popular with diners. There is an old photo in the bar at The Raven which shows the site as a row of old cottages, the centre one being an ale house called The Black Lion. The pub is listed in Slater's Directory of 1858 as the Raven with Samuel Oliver as landlord. The pub has now expanded into most of the cottages. It pre-dates the light railway which opened in 1903. The line now terminates at the rear of the pub, but in former times carried on through the town to a terminus near the main line station. Reopened in May 2018 after a major refurbishment. It is contemporary, clean and light while maintaining the traditional and historical elements of its previous incarnations. There are 5 different spaces that all flow through the pub, two open fires, oak and slate flooring, and an eclectic mix of furniture.
