Brecon Tap in Powys

Excellent pub, a great selection of beers and the best homemade pie we’ve ever had.

Fantastic food with great service even though they were busy getting ready for a weekend festival! Couldn't fault it at all!!

It was just OK but probably called at the wrong time

Lovely space and friendly staff-good beer at reasonable price

Turned up during brecon jazz, so live music inside.great.went for the steak and ale pie and sides, incredible, go in with an appetite or you'll never finish the plate.good value,great service,highly recommended.

Great little bar for a quick drink

Nice welcome, dog friendly, food OK.

Selection of keg and cask ales. Pie and 2 sides for £16 - it was a proper pie mind, big and juicy. Nice atmosphere, guy on acoustic guitar in the corner. Cheerful service. Dogs welcome. Loved it.

Pie! Excellent choices and enjoyable food, relaxed atmosphere, bit scruffy and sticky in places but thumbs up!

Great pub, beer and food were lovely.

Stopped in for dinner- small menu, but great selections. Settled on the Steak and Ale pie. Delicious. Was lucky enough to be there on a night where they had live music as well. Dog friendly place- located right in the village.

Great food and nice staff but pub smells a bit

I ate here by myself and had the burger, brownie for dessert and a low alcohol beer. As other reviewers have said, the burger is REALLY small for a restaurant burger. For reference, it is slightly bigger than a 1/4lb from McDonald's. On the plus side, it is a very tasty burger. If you are looking for something filling though, try the pies instead - I know I should have. As I was riding my motorcycle, I went for a low-alcohol drink, but there is a lot of variety at the bar and it changes frequently, which is nice. The brownie was lovely but as is typical of most restaurants, it was £1 more than it should have been. Good service, staff were trying there best despite there not being enough of them. No parking, but there is a nearby pay + display at the theatre and free spaces on the surrounding streets (1hr max stay until 6pm). Motorcycles can easily fit into these spaces or park on the kerb in front of the church.

A nice little place to buy a pint after going about Brecon, I do recommend this place and the really comfortable seats that you just want to die in and decay forever on 👍🏻

i did enjoy my time here. it was decorated pretty and i liked the atmosphere! the drinks were good too. the pie i felt was a little dry so not the best. i also felt like the server wanted us to leave so i felt kinda awkward and rushed

Such a friendly place. Dogs are more than welcome with treats on the bar. Lovely food too. Great cider range plus outdoor seating available. X

Visited Brecon Tap a few times whilst we spent 4 days in the Brecon Beacons. They have a great selection of beers & we also eat here too, and the food was great. Good atmosphere, great beer and excellent food. What more could you wish for!

Huge selection of local and not so local beers. Really impressive

Really tasty food and drinks (cider and beer) and great service. Ended up eating here two nights following during our 3 day trip as think it’s easily the best option in Brecon!

Came across this diner/bar in Brecon. I had chicken and leak pie which was stuffed with chicken and flavour. Fantastic food and atmosphere highly recommended.

Great atmosphere, selection of beer, and the pies - really good with multiple options for sides. The staff were really helpful. There were indoor and outdoor seating options and they're dog friendly.

Excellent pub. Several hand pumps with a range of beers. Good barman who knew his beers. Food early evening also looked excellent- I will try tomorrow. I'd say best option in the town. Update - food excellent, streets ahead of the big chain options nice crowd, dog friendly, great beer,wine selection. Head and shoulders above the rest

Delicious lunch. Best Glamorgan sausages and chips ever - highly recommended 👌

Can’t fault it, stunning burger and top notch IPA. Worth a look!

Food delicious, best glamorgan sausage and chips ever.

Faultless in every way. I recently visited with my parents and my dog and we absolutely loved it. We were made to feel very welcome, the real ales on tap are extremely well kept (I'm a very fussy real ale person) and a really good selection of other drinks. The food was absolutely divine and it was the best steak and ale pie I've ever had (and I used to have them quite regularly at the famous Borough Market in London when I used to work there). Mum ordered something not on the menu and they managed to rustle something up incredibly tasty with no issues. And the manners of the staff to everyone was exemplary. An absolute treasure of a place.

Great little place with a few interesting ales and craft beers on. Friendly staff and tasty food available. Prices are good for what you get. Would come back again soon if only it weren't so far away.

Fantastic food - the portions were very generous and the pie was filled to the brim. Really good ales as well

Our AirBnB host recommended the Brecon Tap & after our first visit we could understand why. We went on Friday (myself & my two daughters) & we were all impressed by the quality of the food & the service. Their pies are outstanding & we were so impressed we returned the following evening. Unfortunately I hadn’t booked (as I’d been advised to do) & it was very busy but a member of staff managed to find us a table for 3 within a few minutes. We all ate something different but again all the food was outstanding. Apart from the food & the service there’s a very relaxed & friendly vibe to the Tap that makes it an enjoyable place to go. Would highly recommend if staying or visiting the Brecon area.

Spent a few hours chatting with friends in this comfy busy bar. Had a great burger with chips. Dogs welcome x

It's a great location, but our food was cold when served and it looked and tasted like it was something that had been there from the beginning of the week and just warmed up. It's also difficult to enjoy because they allow dogs inside and for people with allergies, this is a real problem. I wish people were more aware of this situation that occurs when you have an allergy to pets --basically you can't breathe. I'm not sure why all these establishments have to be open to pets?

Great service and the best pie and chips we've ever had! Will definitely be back

Great pub. Best in Brecon. Top pies and Ale.

Been to the Tap twice while being in the area this week. Love this type of establishment, quirky, dog friendly and the staff know the beers. Haven't had any food but what we saw looked great and could overhear people saying how nice it was. Going to have to visit at night when they've got live music. 👍👍

I can’t vouch for the whole menu but the Steak and Ale pie was simply excellent (10/10) and the two sides, chips and BBQ beans (a mixture of beans) and gravy were great as well. The beer was fabulous and the staff were friendly. What else can you ask for??

Didn't eat but loved the vibe. Great place!

Warm friendly welcome. Great pies and lots of ale and cider to choose from. Can't wait to return.

Absolutely 1st class pie, steak & ale nicest Iv had in a long time. Great service and a cracking pint of cider. This place is a must if looking for a meal in Brecon. Amazing 🤩

Fabulous little pub - our go to whilst staying in Brecon.

Great atmosphere and a good pint

A nice little place that is well attended. What we as tourists saw on the tables to eat was delicious. Unfortunately, 3 lattes took a long time. We sat comfortably on sofas and had a good time waiting.

Amazing dinner with a great atmosphere.

Nice bar, good selection of beer and ale.

A real jewel of Brecon, great beer selection, friendly staff and nice surroundings. Would heartily recommend.

I can honestly say this is the best place i have ever been to,Super great Vibes by all the staff ❤❤❤Xxxx

Must go when visiting Brecon. Great service 👍

Amazing food...excellent choice of real ales...definitely recommend

Good beer, food is good and friendly staff. Recommend the Welsh lager.

Stopped for lunch while driving up from Cardiff. Solid food with a large menu. Good drinks and friendly staff

Popped in after walking the breacon becons , lovely good quality food , plenty of ale choices , dog friendly and lovely friendly staff , their pies were amazing I had beef bourginon pie was massive and full with beef all freshly homemade

Great food, great service and very reasonably priced.

Popped in for a quick drink and stayed for the evening. Very friendly and welcoming team, knowledgeable about the beers that they had on. Lots of excellent ales to choose from. The pies were also exceptional. Great atmosphere too. Am not a local but I will be returning here whenever I’m in Brecon.

Very nice dog friendly restaurant and pud. The food and service were excellent. The pubs dog was very friendly too. Would recommend.

Nice place. Very laid back. Lots of choice in beers. Decent burger. Nice pie

Great food, service and price Pie was AMAZING

Dog friendly Staff friendly Great food Definitely Recommend

Great place for a pint. Excellent selection.

We took our new saucepan for a pint and all 3 of us enjoyed it. Great place. 5 star!

Great food and service. I'm not against dogs in pubs at all, but didn't appreciate the resident (gorgeous) husky begging right by my side as I was eating.

Great spot in Brecon to grab a beer and some good food. Plenty of variety for all tastes and preferences.

Delicious pies, great atmosphere and really friendly landlord and bar staff plus pub dog "Bella" - highly recommended.

Great pint of beer, fab service, this place should be on your bucket list. Defo come back.

Possibly the best burger in Wales.

Great place for drinks and a lively atmosphere. The live band were very good and a good range of beers for the driver. The bar staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Wonderful food , drink and service.

This is a nice little pub which has a great selection of different ales & some good live music

Fabulous! Well kept Ale and lovely vibe.

I’d like to give 10 stars . Monday night great act Becky the Bullet Thomas . What a guitarist . Made very welcome by the friendly staff . Good choice of drinks . And it’s DOG friendly . Made our little January holiday very memorable . Well done Brecon Tap 👏🏼👏🏼

Great food and beer, really good friendly and welcoming staff, highly recommend

This was a delightful find after a brisk Boxing Day walk. The pub could not be more welcoming.

Excellent food and the fact that it is dog friendly made it so much better. Also outstanding choice of local Welsh beer on tap. Definitely will be returning

If you ever go to Brecon, you MUST have the savoury pies served here. Simply out of this world. My partner's comment "It's almost worth moving to Wales just for this! Even the gravy is good, which is hardly ever true." We both had the steak and ale pie. Exquisitely seasoned and an excellent balance between crust and generous filling. Great selection of Welsh beers and cider - even gluten free. 😋 Dog- friendly too!

Really speedy and friendly service. Got the Sunday lunch - big portions and really tasty!

Hey All! Please be advised, that me and my friend came down to Wales for a hiking trip and were looking for a place to eat good food and drink nice beer. We went to Brecon Tap the service and food were truly amazing! Would recommend to anyone! 🤩😍

Long thin bar with lots of bottled craft beer and 4 hand pulls. We went on a Tuesday night which may be why only 2 beers were on, both were fine and reasonably priced. Music seemed to be coming from a small speaker behind the bar and was only audible to the one staff member and the locals at the bar, so the atmosphere where we were sitting was quite lacking

Just home after a splendid day at the Brecon Tap. We book 16 people for a 3 course Christmas lunch. Fantastic menu and delicious food. Service was swift and staff charming. Highly recommend a visit.

Good food nice pint great service thanks

Absolutely love coming here, Dog friendly and staff are really friendly.

First class place - service was impeccable, an interesting range of beers but all other bar options available. The pies are the speciality so I went for steak and ale which came with two sides. Utterly delicious and absolutely huge. But quality was not at all compromised over quantity. Highly recommend it. Best food in Brecon in my view :-)

Great find after a fairly long drive. Thought the place was closed but after peering through the autumnal steamed up windows what a joy we have had. Great ale and very fine food from the Sunday menu. Top job

What a find! Sunday evening roast dinner beef, chicken or veggie sausage. Like homemade dinner with pancakes that melt in the mouth for pudding. Highly recommend. Great service too.

We ended up here after a long walk along the canal, we just kind a picked st random finding somewhere that was dog 🐶 friendly. Freindly welcome and quickly ordered our food. We both went for pies as that seemed to be there specialty. Both pies were amazing the veggie pumpkin one and venison + damson. Both had root veg and chips and all components were amazing 🤤. Sometimes sides seem like a after thought but these were all really good and j found myself struggling to decide what part to eat more of as I got full. 😂

Very nice beef roast here today. Nice friendly staff.

A very nice little place to have a quick bite and a drink. Try the lucky 7 IPA, superb on a sunny autumn day. We had a couple of sharing boards with that and were really pleased. Service was courteous and helpful, food arrived quickly and was tasty. Prices were very reasonable.

Delicious pies with some good vegetarian options, friendly staff.

Popped on here off the cuff on a wet Sunday afternoon after a dog walk. Staff were friendly and helpful and the food was great.

Popped in for a drink and just missed the kitchen closing at 3pm. Nicely furnished bar with a great range of beers, lagers & ales, including a non-alcoholic option. Very friendly staff. Nice atmosphere. Dog friendly. Not expensive. A gin & tonic, Afghan pale ale and a couple of packets of brown bag crisps just over £11.

The tastiest food I've had in a long time! Pork, Apple and Cranberry Pie with roasted veg and mash with Gravy. Absolutely delicious! I'll be back soon!

Excellent pies, friendly staff and great selection of beers

Found this little gem for breakfast it was fantastic excellent service and very friendly definitely will return

We found this a very odd place, with cold, odd Staff. Nevertheless the burger and the Pork, apple, cranberry pie were very good in quantity/quality, which is more than can be said about the whitebait starter, a very small portion. Odd place, odd Staff and very odd Customers too! Needs some jive in the place!

Great find for an excellent dinner and beer

Excellent place to stop for lunch and a pint. I loved the cranberry, brie, bacon sandwich- perfect balance of savory and sweet. Huge selection of beers: cask, tap, cans. Exceptional service; we had her hopping and she did fantastic! Highly recommended #thischickdrinksbeer

Called in without a booking for a dinner, they managed to seat us which was great. Dinner was stunning 👌🏻

On a hot Saturday the staff was under pressure but the food and drink was so worth the wait! Great staut and delicious burgers and antipasti.

-Nice decor -Staff member was somewhat friendly -Menu wasn't ready as being printed off at the local library, they couldn't advise on how long a staff member would be, I was restricted by time so I had to leave

Great atmosphere and very friendly staff. I had a couple of sips of a cask beer which really wasn't good, not sure if I'd just had the dregs from the bottom of the barrel, however the lady serving didn't even question when I asked to change it for something else and was more than happy to oblige. Staff serving really sold their beers and made recommendations. Didn't get opportunity to stay for food though it has been recommended previously, so would love to return to try!

Très bon accueil, café excellent après une rando de plusieurs heures dans le brouillard et sous la pluie...🙂 larges fauteuils en cuir très confortables au fond de la salle...bonne musique.

Good beers and nice pies, also very dog friendly.

Fabulous food , I had a small meal lamb, Mike had large beef xb
