Quinno _ left this review about The Cellar Door
Basic oblong micropub near the west end of the station with fairly limited opening hours. Green and white with cheap poorly laid pine effect laminate floor. Two cask from on from Grey Trees (sigh), my Stout was a bit warm and flabby (NBSS 2.5). Parochial chat about the local miscreants. Very much one for the locals and I struggled to feel any real enthusiasm. Because it’s a micro it inevitably has a GBG listing.

Blue Scrumpy left this review about The Cellar Door
Micropub close to Newport railway station and with fairly limited opening hours, opening just 4 days per week and not until 4 or 5pm on those days.
I arrived shortly after opening on a Friday and was the only customer throughout my visit. Although after a quick walk into town and back, I passed by again to find 3 or 4 customers had arrived.
The barmaid was very chirpy and singing along to music that was playing. Two real ales on were Electric Bear Mocha The Week & Fine Tuned APA. A couple of ciders were listed on a board to the side of the bar. Both were from Palmers Upland Cyder, but when I ordered the one, it had apparently run out. So, the solitary cider was Cheeky Jackdaw. Craft beers dispensed from taps on a fridge were Electric Bear Mixtape, Misfit Denim Demon & Dark Revolution Hey Mr. DJ.
With the cider I wanted off, I chose the Mocha The Week instead, which was probably the best beer I've had in a long time. With decent beer (and probably cider), friendly staff and a clean, welcoming interior, this was easily my favourite pub on a tour of Gwent. I have plenty more pubs to try in Newport, but I doubt I'll find many (if any) better than this one.

The Cellar Door almost overlooks the West end of Newport Rail Station. It's a proper micropub with no music or TVs. It's a fairly typical sized roughly rectangular room with a laminate wood floor and a small bar counter at the rear right. Most of the limited furnishings are low tables and chairs. There is a log burning stove in the centre of the right hand wall which was welcome on a cold day. There's talk on What Pub of a lounge that isn't ready yet.
There were just three beers from the three hand pumps. These were Ludlow Black Knight, Pennine Hair Of The Dog and Brecon Copper Beacons. I went for the Black Knight which was in good nick. I also tried two of the local ciders from the boxes stacked behind the bar. All were £3.00.
My concern about this place is that it doesn't appear to have a cellar or cold room. I may be wrong about this but couldn't see one. This isn't that important in early December but in a prolonged hot spell could cause big problems.
Despite this it seems a decent micropub that has only been going around a month so the clip collection is still quite small.
