Ye Olde Murenger House - Newport

I was sitting there for a few hours. had a nice meal and a few drinks. the renter and his partner were very good hosts. - yes. can't wait to do it again x

Excellent traditional pub. The beers are very good, friendly atmosphere. Nice place for a drink and a chat. A real treat, but maybe not so great if you're not a Sam Smiths fan like I am (it's Sam Smiths only, like an old-style tied house). The Old Brewery Bitter is highly recommended.

Traditional cosy pub with lovely wood panelled interior. Friendly staff good selection of real ales. Good menu selection at reasonable prices. Would definitely visit again when I am in the area.

I went to this restaurant for lunch on a Monday and it was nearly empty. Only three people came and went in the 75 minutes I was there. I asked two staff members for a menu, but they were too busy chatting to help me. My meal was placed on the table in front of me without a word. The steak and kidney pie was decent, but the portion of chips was small and the vegetables were overcooked and cold. I had a coffee and read some old newspapers while I waited. The atmosphere felt dreary, like a funeral parlor without the organ music. As I left, I saw a sign claiming that the restaurant was one of the top 50 pubs in Wales. I found this hard to believe after my experience.

After exploring all of Newport, I can confidently say that this pub is the best. They serve great beer (Sam Smith), there is no background music, just a peaceful and laid-back ambiance. With its historic charm, this is the perfect spot for a quiet escape and a couple of pints.
