The Inn Between, Usk

A typical welsh village pub with a warm and friendly atmosphere where locals and visitors are made welcome and not at all as reviewed by Toby Casper who clearly does not understand the qualities this pub has in abundance. The staff are always friendly and in my experience have always treated both local and visitor very well.

poor staff with a small town mentality.you could amost hear a banjo.very set in its ways,for locals only.usk is a nice place ,dont ruin your visit,go to another pub.the castle,the crosskeys, etc.

This solidly built old cottage style pub is situated on the main road through town and has an attractive, appealing exterior (they proudly display certificates for its Pub in Bloom successes). One big plus is that it seems to be open when the other pubs in the town have the doors firmly bolted. The 2 bars at the front of the pub are fairly small and cosy and similar in style with plenty of hanging jugs, old beams, brasses, lanterns, old prints, maps, brewery mirrors etc. The locals tend to gather in the left hand bar whilst the right hand bar seems to be used more for darts and quizzes. Note the remnants of a second fireplace behind the pew seat near the bar suggesting that this was originally 2 rooms – would have been rather cramped. There is also a room to the rear containing a pool table and TV. On the downside, the toilets were not the best in the world and the beer selection was rather mundane with no Real Ales at the time of my visit. Very much a locals place but as outsiders, we were made to feel particularly welcome - largely thanks to our participation in Rocking Roger's (no relation to me) Sunday Music Quiz which was largely played out for laughs and local bragging rights.

Very poor service, dirty, no toilet paper or soap in the toilets. When I asked for tap water with the drink I was purchasing, I was told I would have to buy bottled water. AVOID!!!
