Craft Union pub on the main shopping drag in Caerphilly Town Centre. The bar counter is along the rear wall opposite the entrance with a terracotta tile skirt. Leather banquette opposite the bar counter serving regular tables on a bare boarded area. To the left-hand side of the bar counter is a bare boarded area with regular tables and chairs, some wood panelling on the walls and a large projector screen showing the early evening racing. Over in the far corner that side is a slightly raised area with a much in demand pool table and a dart board. A single booth table has its own smaller scale TV screen. To the right-hand side of the bar counter is a carpeted area with regular tables and chairs before a step up into another carpeted area with a fire grate, regular tables and a banquette along the internal wall facing out into the external drinking area, which was regular tables and chairs on paving stones and well utilised on my visit. This area had another dart board to the left of the fire grate and its own TV screen also showing the evening racing absent commentary. A quality music soundtrack was audible above the chatter of the locals.
