The Pheasant Inn, Newport

Two side by side bars, to the left there's a four pull set up with Doombar, Harvest Pale, Everards Tiger and a blank, the other side is the same. Screens & pool at the back, inevitable grey paint job laminate floor on one side, new tile-like slabs next door. A bit of old exposed brick and ancient beamery suggest something has been lost here. A lot of built in bench seating so bit of a cheap makeover this time. Biggish garden out back and the usual friendly people found in Newport.

This pub is a bit of a jack of all trades , popular with students from the local farming collage and more mature drinkers , as you enter to the left is the quiter room of the pub with an old fireplace and a snug , plenty of exposed brickwork and old beams , to the right of the entrance is the livlier modern side , numerous large TVs showing sport and plenty of large sporting photos (the landlord is a semi-pro sports photographer)further on is a slightly plusher room that leads to the courtyard (partially covered)to the back of the courtyard is a former stableblock which has been converted to a bar with a pool table and more large TVs . The landlord has been here nearly 20 years and knows his customers well , there are numerous sports teams based here , football , rugby , cricket , hockey etc . The bar between the two front rooms has an eye watering array of shots , spirits and alcopops , six different lagers on tap plus the usual Guiness and Smooth beers , six handpulls for real ale (doubled up , 3 on each side of the bar) with Pedigree , Hobgoblin and Everards Tiger which was perfect even on the hot day of my visit . This is one of the best pubs in Newport with friendlly staff , worth a visit

Nice place, would recommend if with the lads. Women = Nice but too few :-( Beer = Chilled Staff = Polite Be careful when leaving though, main road can be busy

Sports bar type pub , though more rugby than football , ok beer , mad landlord , to many students , not bad

very sporty pub, popular with rugby supporters and students several televisions to watch football rugby etc, grest juke box always a well kept pint and friendly staff.
