The Snuggery Tap, Newport

A great little micropub with a patio at front. Square room with two large maps (one world and one of Shropshire) on the walls. No TV, soft background music. Very busy with a mature clientele. Service was great. The ubiquitous barrels for a micropub are there with what look like some old bus seats! Three real ales with a very good Wye Valley Toros. More than worth a visit.

Located just off the high street, the Snuggery Tap is a small bar with café seating out the front and open plan seating within that is faced by a bar counter that runs across the rear wall. I counted six craft keg products alongside three hand pumps that were drawing Wye Valley’s HPA and Bushwacker alongside an offering from Three Tuns Brewery. The very friendly governor let me try all three ales, and I went with a very nice pint of HPA. Bar snacks are also available with pork pies, cobs etc. being housed in a display case on the end of the bar. During my short visit there was some 1970/80s music playing in the background which I listened to whilst scanning the huge world map that is up on the left-hand wall. This is the sort of place I would enjoy on a nice afternoon of drinking.
