Graham Coombs left this review about The Goat Tavern
A narrow little pub with an upstairs and downstairs, although given it was fairly quiet we didn't need to venture there. The place was pleasant enough, with a relaxed feel, even if the crappy music was a bit annoying. Ales on were the (Greene King) house brew and TT Landlord, with IPA temporarily off. Adequate if passing but don't go out of your way.

Tris C left this review about The Goat Tavern
A slightly more interesting pub history here, as it dates from the mid-17th century, but was rebuilt in 1958, possibly as a result of bombing.
It’s a Greene King pub, with a GK modern ‘Victorian’ interior, though the linenfold-style bar front may be original; there’s a brass bar gantry. It’s very small inside, with two TVs dominating the visual ambience, sound down so as not to interfere with banal muzak. Tables are tall and mated with drinking ledges; there are some more traditional chairs to the rear. Décor comprises a picture of a clothed goat and dry leaves hanging about the place. Customers were few and looked bored.
Ales on offer were from the GK stable, so a painful £3.35 half of Neck Oil it was.
This isn’t great and the superior Kings Head is bang opposite.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Goat Tavern
A narrow Greene King (ex-Taylor Walker pub), with a very compact bar meaning that it can be difficult to move around (but once you reach the counter, the staff are usually pretty efficient). It also has an upstairs room with another serving area (although this is usually boarded off) which is often deserted even when packed downstairs and out on the pavement. Four handpumps, with IPA and the seasonal Un-beer-lievable plus Hammerton N1 and Talgarth from Reunion Ales (£4.70) available as guests on my latest visit.
