Situated close to the river with views of Newport's castle remains, town bridge and muddy banks from the popular outdoor terrace, the Riverside re-opened under new ownership during 2017. It majors on sport, music and food with plenty of memorabilia on display. Note the collection of clocks all displaying different times in the left-hand corner when facing the long bar. TVs dotted around the room deliver various sporting events. There's plenty going on during the week with Monday (Free pool all day), Tuesday (Quiz night from 8.30pm), Wednesday (Open Mic Night from 7pm), Thursday (Free pool all day, Acoustic Live Music from 8pm), Friday & Saturday (Live Music from 8.30pm), Sunday (Free pool all day). A popular bar with long associations with the local music and sports scene. A good pre-match venue before visiting Rodney Parade and easy walking distance with transport links.
