Robin Hood, a reight owd fashioned boozer. Stay clear of Wetherspoons, you might have to buy SD a pint
Loads of good bars and pubs in Ponty now as mentioned The Robin Hood, Max Ox, Last Bank, Old post office, Iron Dram, Hope and Anchor (bit out of town but worth a visit) and loads more I forget plus the older tradition ponty pubs - get yourself there
I sup in all dives. Weatherspoons, Green Dragon, Malt Shovel. These new bars on Ropergate aren't my scene.
