The Four Winds, Aberavon Seafront. The entertainment there is wicked and they are putting on a musical "A Slice of Saturday Night" set in the 1960's on the 5th June [2009], and including a basket meal - where can you go for such entertainment for so little. I had lunch there last week with a pint and it was brilliant.

The Butchers Arms in Llandarog - lovely country pub, superb food and a warm welcome. Always seems busy, which is usually a good sign!

The best pub in Wales, for its character, the locals and the best pint has without doubt got to be the Cockett Inn in Swansea.

The Farmers Arms in Llangendyern, is the best pub with many regular faces, good laughs, excellent landlords John and Marion. Very welcoming - always look forward to Sundays for my regular visit - wish it was groundhog day.

The Artramont Arms in Croes-Goch is superb, excellent food, excellent beer! Makes one big thing, excellent pub, and new owner (Dave and Jan Evans) and their children are nice (Gareth and Thomas Evans) and the youngest is cute (Lloyd Evans) and he's only 11 and he helps out with the washing up!

It's got to be the Nags Head in Abercych. Really friendly staff and home-cooked food at reasonable prices. Lovely beers, ciders and lagers. Friendly locals and interesting visitors. Try it, you will love it. Chiefy is a master chef.

Peter Jones ex Carmarthen now Spain
Without a doubt the Tanners Arms Carmarthen..I've not been home for a while, but since Mike left The Plume of Feathers the best pub in town. Unfortunately, not many tidy pubs in town where you still have 'the craic' with lots of local characters. Pop in and have a chat with John and Sue, really nice hosts. Not forgetting Keith Sara and the rest of the locals! Won't be there long due to redevelopment so make your visit soon! Cheers!

The Station Inn, Pembroke dock, is a good ole jolly place. Good music, good ales and good grub. You can even catch the train to Tenby, Pembroke or just stay and have a good time!

Dai - Ponty
The Tunnel Tavern in Neath. New young owners keep a cracking pint - even got real Somerset Scrumpi on for one and half quid - bargain. Karaoke is a top laugh with the landlady getting up with the regulars. Made to feel very welcome and will be going back!

It's got to be The Prince of Wales Inn Mynyddygarreg near Kidwelly. 7 real ales always on tap, great 'Son of a Bitch' from Bullmastiff in Cardiff, good food, good beer, good company, good landlord. Who could ask for more?

Paul from Essex
Three Mariners, Tenby...brilliant for a night out! ... U have to check this place out the service is really friendly there's great music and a great atmosphere, also the landlord and landlady (Keith and Lisa) are 2 of the greatest people that I've met. It's a must go see!!
Mon Feb 12 09:04:12 2007

The Sloop Inn in Porthgain has got to be the best pub in the world - friendly welcome, great Guinness and an excellent atmosphere, just what you need after a hard days fishing!

Can't beat the Tenby on Walters Rd, great beer and bar staff (I am one) always a laugh and joke going on. And live music is great.
Thu Jan 11 08:49:10 2007
Mike, Surrey
The Three Mariners, Tenby is one of the friendliest, liveliest pubs in Wales. Has been mentioned earlier by a Yank I think - but definitely agree. Great landlord - he's got fantatstic sense of humour (needs one running a pub !)

M Davies Pontarddulais
I must comment here on The Wheatsheaf in the Bont. What a friendly and warm welcome to all. The beer is always cold, bar staff are so lovely, and the answer is always 'yes'. No food -which is great as u don't smell that oil whilst having a drink. Plenty of tvs too so everyone can watch what they want. Landlord and landlady are brilliant company. Thank you Anthony and Wendy for giving us another great year at a great pub.

My favourite pub in Wales is the Boncath Inn at Boncath, North Pembrokeshire. Food is excellent with a wide choice of real ales! Welsh Heaven!

Crowley's Rock Bar Swansea, really friendly staff, cold beer and excellent music and great atmosphere. Best bar in town if you like ya rock with a dj who actually plays your request. Cheap drinks. It's a street off the Kingsway by Steak By Night.

Farmers Arms, Pontarddulais. Good night out, and the food is stunning (especially if Mark is cooking).
You're missing out if you haven't been there yet!

Naomi from Manselton, Swansea
My favourite pub is the Uplands Tavern in Uplands - Swansea - fastastic atmosphere, great live bands nearly every night and best of all no sport! Would be ace if they did food but you can't have it all I spose! The Adelphi on Wind St is also fab for music and good beer. Special mention also goes to The Gate House iin Cwmbwrla in Swansea - friendly welcomiing atmosphere and excellent beer.
Fri Nov 17 10:58:21 2006
Joan from Dublin
The Jersey Arms Bonymaen, Swansea is the number one pub for me. I found the pub by accident and what a find. Very classy deco, Sunday roast was just outstanding. The warm welcome that we all recieved was second to none, which resulted in us all staying there for the rest of the evening. The enterain was great, starting with a game of Bullseye, great cash prizes to be won and following that was karaoke starting with the Landlady Carla singing and I've got to say "what a voice !" fab. I would recommend that you all visit. Great music, jammed packed with entertainment,fab food and warm welcome.

Pat from Illinois, USA
4 of us stopped in Margam on the way to Pembroke looking for a place for the evening. The Twelve Knights turned out to be a fantastic find. Staff was great, rooms very comfortable, food was excellent (especially the beef pie), and the Welsh people we met were really friendly. After sampling several pints around Britain, Brains SA is, hands down, the best I had in all of the UK.

Some great pubs in west Wales, Sloop is brill, Porthgain as is the Crescelly Arms, but for a great welcome and good company try the Colliers in Pwll.

The Farmers Arms, Cwmdu Excellent steak and real ale. Campsite nearby too!

The best night out I've had in a long time was down Tenby. The people are so friendly and pubs are very lively. We went to 3 mariners 2 years ago and just so happened that the doormen were doing the full monty. Let's say it was a night to remember! I've got two guys who work in the Tenby house are worth paying a visit too!

Walrus from Neath Abbey
I would like to say that I and my partner always get a warm welcome at the Hope and Anchor in Neath Abbey. Neil the landlord and his good wife Bev do thier upmost to ensure you have a good time! The house red is a treat for any wine enthusiast and if your a culture buff, you cannot miss the foreign language features shown on most weekends. A warm welcome awaits you so why not visit, you may even bump into me there!
Wed Apr 5 11:27:42 2006
Angharad Roche- formerly of Tufton, now living in
No, it's quite true that the Hope & Anchor isn't what it used to be- it's now a quality contemporary, eatery of high standard. The design and outlay of the Inn is second to none (winner of the Civic Socity's award for architectural design) and the food's top notch too! Call me biased perhaps but I think that it's a tidy place and is not dissimilar to some of the class joints that are to be found down in Cardiff Bay- bring on Fishguard Marina!!
Sat Mar 25 13:39:07 2006
Mr Frank from Goodwick
Glendower Hotel is by far the best venue in Goodwick, the Hope and Anchor isn't what it used to be.
Thu Mar 16 11:34:42 2006
Julie from Bryncoch
Our favourite pub is the Dulais Rock in Aberdualis. The food is excellent. The menu at lunch time and in the evening is varied and changes regularly. The interior is really relaxing and the staff are friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them, and last but not least a great selection of wine.
Sat Mar 11 19:16:49 2006

The Old Coach House, High Street Fishguard has to be one of the best pubs in the world!! Full of local characters, music and dancing.

Sara Powell-Davies, Chelsea
The Hope & Anchor Inn in Goodwick is THE nicest pub we visited in Pembrokeshire! The place has recently been tastefully transformed from what was once, apparantly, a hard man's drinking pub into a haven of nautical modernity suitable for all people of all ages. When we dined there we were amisdst tourists and local characters alike, young couples and a rugby tour from the Valley's. Angharad, the most talkative barmaid I think I've ever met, made us feel very welcome and a smashing night was had by all. A selection of beers and wines were on offer, including SA Brains real ale. The food was really well done, I had fried Welsh cheeses, lobster and the most calorie laden chocolate cake I have ever tasted- it was all delicious. AND, to top it all, there was no smoking allowed which, for me, was awesome. The decor of the pub was, without doubt, the best in the area, there were two restaurants on different levels, a cute little wine bar and, an al fresco sea-view balcony where the nicotine slaves among us could chill out and inhale as much sea air/malborough lights as they liked. Seriously, if you're in Pembrokeshire- give it a try!

I enjoy pubs, and being a pub fanatic, I have decided that there isn't one that I can single out, because all the pubs in Port Talbot are great. As long as they've got pool tables, so I can show off to the girls. I like a good pint of stout, and I haven't had a bad one yet in Port Talbot!

My best mate was off lolly-gaggin' in Australia when I decided to visit his family in Wales. It was my first time in Wales. Though I loved Cardiff, I had the greatest time in Tenby (Penally) all by myself walking around, visiting the shops and a little place called The Three Mariners. The atmosphere was very cozy; the people were absolutely the greatest - warm, friendly and eager to point out places I should see....I didn't feel like a stranger at all. I was astonished to learn the barkeeps don't get tipped. It's something we do in America, so I tipped. When you've gotten serviced like at the Three Mariners, you tip. I love Wales!

The Tunnel Tavern new owners. Pull a cracking pint of real ale, I'm addicted to the stuff now cos theres always 3 different ones on!!!

You can't beat the Royal Oak in Fishguard, Pembs, Wales. The staff there were fantastic to us over the summer 05, funny warm and friendly (special mention to Manda... one of the best barmaids we've ever come across!!). Great food (Puddings to die for!!!), live music, quizzes... Something for everyone! If you ever find yourself in Fishguard, you won't go far wrong paying this little pub a visit!!
Fri Jan 13 15:22:55 2006
Dave from Gellinudd
I'd like to cast my vote for the Pontardawe Inn, a friendly pub & restaurant with some of the finest real ales sold in the area. It also boasts home to a resident ghost (Old Twm) and the best menu...

The Masons Arms, country steak house and bar on the Dale Road in Haverfordwest. A great steak house. The funkiest place for a night out in Pembrokeshire.

Su from Pennar
The Alma Inn! Just had surprise birthday party for my husband and I have to say it was a cracking nite! The food was excellant,as usual, the newly refurbished extension was well used along with the decked area outside. A warm welcome was given by Max and Julie and their staff which all added to the total effect of the nite, what else could you want from your local? Sunday lunch is tasty as well!

Big Mike from Sandfields
A fine establishment for consuming a few alcoholic (or non alcoholic) beverages is the Walkabout pub in Swansea. This pub which has an Anzac theme is charming with friendly barstaff and a wide range of beers and spirits. There is plenty of entertainment and lots of vibrant exciting people. I even met the love of my life there!

The Four Winds Hotel on Aberavon beachfront is absolutely superb, from the first class cusine in the new modern resturant to enjoying a relaxing pint looking out over Swansea Bay in the sunset. Will definitely visit more often.

Kel Kimble from Chicago USA
On a visit to your beautiful country from the US of A, I came across an establishment in the Pembrokeshire countryside known as the Atramont Arms. I was impressed by the charming staff, fine cuisine and the excellent Orange soda. Stop at this place to whet your whistle!

The Three Crowns in Doc Penfro is an excellent pub with very friendly bar staff and customers as is the Prince of Wales.Great pubs and coming from Manchester/Glasgow what can i say.

Mr N. Davies, Port Talbot
The Somerset Arms in Taibach,Port Talbot is a fantastic Pub/Restaurant. The food is of a high standard but is easy on the wallet and the selection of beverages is great. A family pub at it's best.

Artur Boruc from Glasgow
Whilst visiting Port Talbot, I went into a pub called Jimmy's Bar. I wasn't too sure what to expect, but once I set foot in there, I knew I was in for a treat! Warm welcome from the well presented staff, the most refreshing pint of lager I've had in ages, and a challenging game of pool from the house champion!! Only one complaint though- I didn't have time to stay for a second pint.....
Wed Sep 7 12:55:24 2005

We visited the Ship Inn in Trefin as part of our walking holiday and we have decided that we will definitley make the trip back again one day. The meal was outstanding, service was good. My children loved the family room and my husband loved the real ale, well done to the owners!

Mark from Cimla
The Cimla Hotel is a great place to go for a drink on a Friday and Saturday. They always have the live sporting events on the big screen and the staff are really friendly. They have karaoke on a Friday night which is a good laugh and a live performer on the Saturday. It is a good place to just relax and have fun and they also do great food if you fancy a bite to eat.
Fri Aug 12 14:23:22 2005

Well I have to say the Three Mariners in Tenby is a fantastic pub, it's great for karaoke and if you haven't been there yet your missing out on something it's really good fun...
Mon Aug 8 23:11:28 2005
The Pontargothi Posse
The Cothi Bridge Hotel is the best pub in the area! Great riverbank with benches, and a generally chilled environment for a nice time, simply the best!
Sun Jul 31 11:19:30 2005
Eric from Llanddowror
Not so much a pub but it's like coming home that's the Picton House Hotel, Llanddowror. Keith and Cally like to make sure you enjoy every visit...

Mal Hughes, Colrado, USA
There is only one pub worthy of the name local in South Wales ...The Birchgrove Inn in Heol Las, Swansea. Although I'm exiled in the states on my return visits to Wales, the 'Birch' is my first port of call. It is not just a pub it's a community centre for the village. It's a place where the world is put to rights over a couple of pints of best bitter. Where everybody knows everybody and all their family. Where strangers are someone who you haven't met yet. A real pub!
Fri Jul 29 07:04:35 2005

The Red Lion, Llangadog always gives you a great welcome from Kevin and Cindy. The Red is in an old coaching inn with lots of character. The food is always excellent and the atmosphere friendly- Highly recommended
PS- Good wine
Fri Jul 22 11:53:28 2005
Paul from Brynhyfryd
I think the Britannia Inn, Llanmadoc is the best pub, it as great food, friendly bar staff and the locals are a good laugh as well. The beer is great and all the animals in the beer garden make it easy to keep the kids entertained. Get up there and see for yourself.
Thu Jul 21 10:30:36 2005
Matthew Brennan from Longford
While I agree that Reuben's in Port Talbot is an exceptional establishment, I am nominating The Red Lion in Port Talbot. This place is remarkable. The beer is of significant quality, yet it is easy on the pocket. There is a warm and inviting atmosphere to all customers, and there's always a welcoming smile from the superb bar staff. Try some of the wide range of crisps and nuts, or some of the other local delicacies. It is impossible to say in words what a fabulous place The Red Lion is, so when you are in the area, why not drop in, and sample for yourselves the hottest venue in town.
Wed Jul 13 16:11:19 2005
Little Brennan from Longford
What are you all thinking?!? Nobody has mentioned the hottest venue in South Wales! Reubens is a delightful little pub, situated on the banks of the River Afan in Port Talbot. There are picturesque views of the shopping centre, which is a sight to behold. The beer is simply marvellous, the juke box has something for everyone, and the customers are polite and welcoming. Give Reubens a try - you won't be disappointed and that's a Reubens's guarentee...
Tue Jul 5 15:18:43 2005
Pete's always @ the New Inn, Amroth
This 450 year old inn is situated at the start/finish of the Pembrokeshire National Coast Path - an ideal location to quench one's thirst and enjoy fantastic food after a good walk. You don't really need an excuse to visit - the staff are always pleased to see visitors old and new. Spectacular views of the bay, a safe "Blue Flag" beach; a real must visit.
Sat Jul 2 13:16:37 2005
Daffydd Thomas of Llandewwi Breffi
I think that the Artramont Arms of Croes Goch is simply stunning darlings! Pop in anytime and you are guaranteed a warm welcome, a nice drink or seven and if you decide to, some cracking food!!! Go 20!!! Kowabunga Dude!!!
Tue Jun 28 23:07:26 2005
Kevin Jenkins from Llanelli
The Bee Hive Pencader very friendly atmosphere a warm welcome to anyone, beer is great and cheap! Cosy and warm in the winter time, no drugs , no fighting or youngsters who want to take the world on after a pint! If you want an old fashioned Welsh Pub then try it! Has one of the oldest landladies in Wales and friendly with it! If you want to recharge your batteries then this is the place for you.

Hugh Pugh from Fishguard
Jimmy's Bar in Station Road in Port Talbot is a definite must if you enjoy fancy cocktails and fine food. Don't miss the fabulous karaokes they have there, with some of the finest singers in the region. Oh how I yearn to climb that magical staircase, and enter a different world- a world where the music is banging...
Thu Jun 23 13:39:26 2005

Good food, good beer. Nice people(new owners) Family run pub. Good night out and a very nice restaurant.

Mr A.N.Other from Port Talbot
Don't bother with the pubs in Swansea, Neath or Bridgend. Port Talbot is buzzing on the weekends! U've got Station Road with all the finest eaterie's and night spots. Why not sample the lop sided pool table in Jimmy's, the sticky floor in the Welcome or expensive drinks in Tobin's!
Sat Jun 18 22:03:52 2005
Karl from Port Talbot
Jimmy's Bar in Port Talbot is my personal favourite. The lager is legendary, and the ladies on a Friday night are the most beautiful in town!!! Well worth a visit.
Tue Jun 14 11:12:44 2005
Harry Raymond from Fishguard
The Artramont Arms without a doubt.
High standard food and brilliant beer with 1 thing in common, low, low prices.

The Artramont Arms in Croes-Goch is a lovely pub, situated between Fishguard and St Davids. A warm welcome is guaranteed, and the food and beer are top notch!

Butchers Arms, Llanddarog, wins hands down in my opinion. The food is outstanding, (the portions are huge!) and the atmosphere is just superb.

Bucket and Spade, Seaside Llanelli. I love the karaoke at the weekends after a good few drinks!
Fri May 13 14:01:31 2005
Charlston from Burry Port
I think the Windsor Harbour View in Burry Port is the best pub because of it's great variety of entertainment from Richi's Band, karaoke, pool, darts a massive area for food and last but not least a great selection of drink too. Here's to Mikey and the Windsor to win.

The Cresselly Arms in Cresswell Quay - my favourite pub... forever. Idyllic setting by the water. Can not wait to return. It's like being in a different world.

Maxine Beaumont from Briton Ferry
Fri and Sat nite time: All neath, Cam, Tavern, Arch, G's, Kiwi's any of these deff worth a visit! The Tudor Inn at the top of Cimla a fab place to go. My parents had their wedding reception there, lovely times!

The King Arthur Hotel in Reynoldston, Gower is my favourite pub. Great beer, top class food and all set in the shadow of Cefn Bryn. Absolutely fantastic in the Summer.
Tue Apr 5 16:17:54 2005
Dan from Wiveliscombe, Somerset
Always make a point of visiting the Salutation Inn Pontargothi. Food is great, really friendly, atmosphere typical Welsh pub with a fabulous reputation, well worth the drive over the bridge.

Geoff from Wiltshire, and formerly New Zealand
I would vote for The Butchers Arms at Tegryn as a great little village pub. Genial hosts and a nice atmosphere.
Thu Mar 31 20:46:09 2005

The Masons Arms in Thomas Street Llanelli is such a cool place to be any night of the week, especially gig nights, keep an eye out for them!!!
Tue Mar 22 13:46:08 2005
Kevin from Bedfordshire (Primo)
I have got to say that the Ynyscedwyn Arms is a very cosy little village pub, that serves excellent food and the puffy drinks aren't bad either. J and Charlotte have done very well in the short time they have been there and the longer they are there the more I am visiting!! So SCED wins hands down in my book.

Fri Feb 18 10:45:02 2005
Davey from Herbrandston
I reckon the Tabs (Taberna Inn) in Herby is the best place to drink, the locals are never short of a funny story or three and the pint is superb!

Josh from Port Talbot
The Four Wind Hotel on Aberavon beach front has got to be the best pub in Neath Port Talbot. Apart from live music throughout the week and the great meals! The view across the beach is lovely!!

Real Ale drinker from Pwll
Pwll has always had good pubs with nice friendly people calling in them.
If you are a "Real Ale" fan, then I suggest you pay the "Talbot Inn" a visit, as without a doubt, they keep the best pint in the village!

Myra from Neath
I love the Castle bar in Neath on a Saturday night. Everyone is friendly and the bar staff are the best in town. Also the Big Cam deserves a mention cos the dj's brill and the beers cheap!

The White Hart and Butchers Arms in Llanddarog for excellent food, best beer in the World and tremendous Welsh atmosphere.

David Powell from Neath
Relaxing cosy atmosphere in the Borough Arms in ew Henry Street Neath. Real ales, friendly licencee Steve and wife Sandra and not a million miles away. A real local, actually I live next door but I am not biased only well pleased.
Sat Jan 8 20:26:38 2005
Stephen Griffiths from Haverfordwest
I think the Milford Arms is the best cause it is one of the locals on my street.
Sat Jan 8 12:26:48 2005
E D Lewis,London (Pontarddulais Boy)
Butchers Arms,Llanddarog. Farmers Arms,Pontarddulais. White Rose,Mumbles. Colliers Arms in Ynystawe and Bynea. All for good beers. Best of all Pontarddulais Cricket Club.
I could mention dozens more but compared to the ales in London beer in Wales wins hands down.

Ryan Davies Pembrokeshire
Well the 'Sloop Inn' in Porthgain (Pembrokeshire)has one of the best locations in Wales. With ample parking and beautiful coast paths scrambling up both sideS ,this little village, it's a perfect place to stop for a drink or even a bite to eat in 'The Shed'. Porthgain is not a small trip you can make a day of visiting this little harbour village has many things to offer including; a little studio gallery which is very charming, and another gallery by the quay 'Harbour Lights Gallery' which exhibits over 40 different extremly talented artists and is just overwhelming and just finishes off the perfect day after a boat trip with Rob fishing/dolphing watching which is a must do........

Bricey From Ynysforgan
I enjoy going up to the Millers Arms in Ynystawe on a Saturday night to enjoy a nice pint of bitter, and a smoke of my pipe and reflect/contemplate upon my earlier football match for Clydach.

Myself and some friends visit the White Swan in High Street, Swansea once or twice a year. We always get a magnificent welcome and they have a superb jukebox. Well done.

Joanne from Cimla, Neath
The Tudor Inn at the top of Cimla has really nice traditional pub food, reasonable prices and generous portions. It's a great place with loads of character and friendly staff. Give it a visit if you're in the area!

Rosie John from Rosebush (Pembrokeshire)
I love to go have a drink at the Old Post Office Inn, where the punters and the staff are friendly and socialable. They have a great menu and a great choice of drinks. It is great to come and have a drink after walking, cycling or riding the quarry or forest for some great views!!
Tue Nov 16 18:33:46 2004
Gooney from Clydach
I like having a few pints of Albright in the Village Tavern in Clydach. Some of Clydach's most distinguished people drink in this establishment and I can engage in a topical discussion regarding current affairs in the world of tourism.

The Georges in Haverfordwest would have to be my favourite because the atmosphere and the food is the best I have ever been to!
Wed Oct 27 22:35:02 2004
Rhian, Pembroke dock
The Station Inn in Pembroke Dock has the coolest bands on a Saturday Night - Cottonmouth, Rainkings and Thirsty Work to name but three. Can't wait for the Autumn beer festival on November 5th and 6th this year!! All this entertainment for free, you just can't beat it!
Wed Oct 27 22:24:33 2004
Lynfa Newfoundland Canada
The Farmers Arms in Resolven was the best for food and atmosphere when I grew up there and according to my mum, who frequently visits with her friends (The Golden Girls!) ... it's only gotten better. Oh how I wish I was home.
Tue Oct 26 10:02:39 2004

Tony from Germany
Best pub in S.W.Cresselley Arm's Cresswell Quay. Laid back hostelry in a ideal location, down to earth, attracts a good mix of local and visiting imbibers. Not forgeting Sue xxx.
Wed Sep 15 14:13:00 2004
Steven Scotland
The Tudor Inn has got to be the best pubs in and around Neath. Its got a great atmosphere in there and the drinks are cheap and nice.

I like this pub because it is very friendly and I meet lots of nice people. I would tell anyone visiting they should go there.
Tue Jun 29 15:37:19 2004
Mark from Uplands RFC
Swansea Uplands Rugby Club is the best place to drink in Swansea, looking out on two glorious rugby pitches watching Barbarian style rugby matches on a Saturday afternoon with some of the best rugby talent on display in Wales, drinking a pint of ice cold lager. Why not give the friendly atmosphere a try and if you play rugby get down there on Tuesday and Thursday for training throughout the summer.
Fri Jun 25 08:27:14 2004
Rhys Llanychaer
No pub guide would be complete without mentioning Bessie at the Duffryn Arms Cwm Gwaun. A pub like no other.
Sun Jun 20 09:39:24 2004
Godfrey, Fishguard
Fishguard Arms and the organic cider is the best, all must try, both in the seaside town of Fishguard.
Fri Jun 18 02:38:56 2004

Cresselly Arms, Creswell Quay without a doubt. Best pub in the world. Enjoy a glass of wine or firewater. Buy 4 books for £1 for Cancer UK in summer. Support Maurice and Janet. Hwyl!!!!!!

Sports and recreations hall in Meinciau, it has a great place to have a beer with the locals, pretty good.

Jamesy from Llanelli
Gotta agree with Jamie, the Masons Arms is defo the place to be if you like your rock and alternative music.
Thu May 27 18:27:36 2004
Dan from Swansea
The Poundffald in Three Crosses is a must for anyone visiting Gower; it's how village pubs should be (if you ignore the stuffed animals encased on the wall!).
Sat May 22 22:37:28 2004
Mr Jones, Swansea
Curiously, my favourite drinking establishments are pretty much all featured along the mumbles mile. However, seldom do i manage to visit them all! I will say this though... the pubs on this mile are one of the few places i've visited in this world of ours, where the actual toilets are bigger than the actual function rooms.
Thu Apr 29 20:00:01 2004
Roger Saundersfoot
Royal Oak - best for food and real ale's.
Wed Apr 21 18:00:22 2004
Donkey Dyl - Lampeter
Ivy Bush is a awesome pub! Most definately the best in Lampeter! Love the Kareoke, keep it goin'! Always a good laugh! Hound dog 4eva Dyl.
Wed Apr 21 16:00:50 2004
Claire from Burry Port
The Windsor Harbour View in Burry Port is the best! Warm welcome, lovely food, staff are great, and the regulars are better still! It's probably the best lager I've ever tasted as well - and that's the truth..
Fri Apr 16 17:48:50 2004
Pwll Girl, Not in Pwll Now
Pwll has always had some great pubs, the Blue Anchor and the Talbot Inn are both lovely but best of all is the Colliers Arms. Lovely atmosphere, very good food (and when they're not serving they'll organise a delivery from the chinese or the indian in town, whichever you prefer). A word about the barstaff - Big Pete is a star, he is also doing really good things for the village by editing the Bonau Cabbage Patch. All the people are lovely, no swearing, no fights, you can probably bring the kids in (check with Pete first). If you want a really nice, very authentic Welsh pub experience come to the Colliers. There's even a beautiful view across the water to the gower. I can't rate it high enough. It makes me yearn for home....
Sun Apr 4 00:30:29 2004
Zoe from pontarddulais
the best pub is the farmers arms in pontarddulais.people of all ages go there its a good laugh on the weekend. and they serve lush food.(especially if mark is cooking).And the landlady Stephanie is brilliant!

The Colliers in Skewen claims it won pub in Britain this year. Is it true?

The Deck in Saundersfoot, cosy, hidden and nice to chill with mates!
Wed Mar 10 20:45:39 2004
The Whooshman
FREEMASONS ARMS DINAS CROSS. Good company, good food and a good selection of real ales, need I say more? Call in anytime and be sure of a warm welcome.
Sun Mar 7 01:15:24 2004
Bryn fron Dinas Cross
Not been paid to say this, (well OK only 2 pints per week)The Fremasons Arms is now one of the best pubs in the village. Please call in and you can buy me a pint just say it's for " The Whooshman".
Sun Mar 7 00:59:35 2004
James
I agree with Jim, hell of an atmosphere in the Freemasons, good real ales and a friendly environment.
Sat Mar 6 23:02:38 2004
Greg in America
The Cricketer's at St. Helen's, Swansea
is the best ever ! This was my regular pub in 1971 and 1972 and I return whenever I can. Much improved since then - used to be a "workies" pub, now quite a nice lounge.
Fri Mar 5 21:30:58 2004
Vicky, Lampeter
The Cwmann or the Castle in Lampeter! Two of the more student friendly pubs in town, the staff in each are lovely!
Fri Mar 5 13:08:04 2004
Jim from Swansea
The Freemasons Arms in Newport, Pembrokeshire. A perfect pint with a welcome atmosphere to boot! Well recommended
Mon Mar 1 15:08:02 2004
Rachel - Carmarthen
The best pub in my area by far is the Castle Inn in Llansteffan. They serve the best curries there and the bar staff always put a smile on my face. They also have seperate smoking and non smoking areas for families. Near a bear too, well worth it for a perfect finish to a family day out!
Mon Mar 1 11:51:40 2004
Fatty, Cefn Bryn Brain
You can't beat "The Bridge" in Brynamman - the landlord is mad, the beer is top notch and the atmosphere is second to none!! Go and say hi to Malcs!! ;)
Thu Feb 26 16:25:05 2004
E Rooney from Tegryn
Boncath Inn (Boncath) not many pubs round us but there all good but,Boncath Inn will always win.
