You can always buy me a drink if I'm sat at the barPerfect traditional pubAnd the beer, it is the most perfect ale your lips will ever know.... Ale but the Extra Stout was well recommended as is the 10% Yorkshire Stingo.

Love this charismatic old pub!

This charming traditional pub is steeped in history. The staff are welcoming and the food is very good. One of the things I like most is - no TV!

Quick stop for food and it was tasty!

Quick stop before running for the train for food and it was surprisingly good. One ordered a burger, the other a sausage and mash. Recommend trying it.

Doubles as a Funeral parlour.

Ok it was a Monday lunchtime but the place was dead. Total of three people came and went in 75 minutes. Asked for a menu from two members of staff who were far too engrossed in a long conversation to serve this solitary customer. My...More

Ideal!

Walked the length and breadth of Newport and this has to be the best pub! Nice beer (Sam Smith), no background music, just a quiet, relaxed atmosphere. Surrounded by historic charm - if you need a quiet escape for a pint or two, this is...More

Oldest pub in Newport

Popped in for a pint which was an old fashioned Youngs bitter and a keg cider. The place was nearly deserted on a Thursday afternoon so I hope that it is busier at other times as it will go out of business otherwise. Plenty of...More

The Best Pub in the World

The Murenger is not a pub. Forget about pubs. The Murenger is a way of life. These ancient timbers exhale the centuries. The landlord is wise and learned. The shelves are laden with books. The conversation is smart, even the floorboards join in, squeaking in...More

Good for the soul

I honestly don't know why I haven't reviewed the Murenger before since I've going there since 1972 when I first came to Newport. Now I live in Monmouth my visits are less frequent but neverheless regular. It's hard to have 'a local' when you live...More

From the moment we stepped inside the atmosphere was very friendly. This pub is a gem. We ate fish and chips which were freshly cooked and served with a smile. It was indeed very quiet but that for us was a bonus as we were...More
