Cross Keys in Neath Port Talbot

Great traditional pub. Very well run by the landlord. Great atmosphere with a good pint. Live music on a Saturday. My favourite drinking hole.

Great old fashioned pub, great atmosphere, friendly staff, competitive prices

A fantastic pub that has been my "local" for the last 10 years, despite living miles away, always a friendly and relaxed atmosphere with great service and a reasonable price for the drinks. Bands every saturday night and on bank holiday sundays too with a pub quiz each thurday, pool table, darts, and snooker table also. Can be very busy during bank holidays and weekends with live music. Food not available for several years, just a great down to earth, traditional pub.

Only place in Town feel comfortable grateful to have this place,Music is played of our age group and feel part of the place

Great local pub, staff are super friendly and attentive. Prices are well worth it for the best pint of Guinness in Neath. Greta music venue also

If your in Neath on the weekend call in here for a few beers, you won't be disappointed.

So welcoming and relaxing. Clean, comfortable, lovely staff,my favourite pub in the whole of Neath.

Brilliant pub Live bands weekly Great staff

Second year we have visited here on our Christmas night out. (Group of girls in our 20s) we are a very respectful group of girls and were met, again for the second year with the most horrendous service I’ve ever experienced (From the old woman with grey hair behind the bar). Last year she refused to serve us unless we had our passports (we all had ID just drivers licenses. She refused to accept them.) This year, she patronised us and said ‘less of the shouting, there’s actual adults in here trying to enjoy’. Incredibly disrespectful. Don’t bother going there if you’re under 50 because she won’t like you.

Good prices, friendly staff, and friendly locals, can't complain (have heard there's a quiz on Thursdays) Mid week kick out is around 8 unfortunately.

Out on a Saturday night with friends , great atmosphere,

We would have had another couple of rounds but midweek closing kicks in around 8pm.

Great little pub with great service 👍

Great pub, I'm currently a local cos I'm working up the road

Great little pub excellent prices for drinks! And a good atmosphere!

Great pint of double dragon, friendly staff, nice clean pub 👍👍

Still one of the better pubs to visit in Neath. Starting to get popular again.

Calm and collected a wonderful atmosphere and great people if your rowdy this isn't the place for you take that to the angle thank you 😉

13th best pub in the World plus it's the pokem on go capital of central neath .since the addition of the full size snooker table it's gone up another notch and if it weren't for vulka doing naked hopscotch in the beer garden I'd gladly fetch my small children. plus all the sad alchos have moved down too the con club

Great pub with live music, always like coming here.

Absolutely brilliant night out. Haven't been in there for year's, have definitely been missing out, the Cross Keys if great. Music was really good and service was fast, fantastic atmosphere. Will definitely be returning on our next night out.

Very much my home from home, where I go to unwind after a tough day's work. My favourite pub in Neath -- nothing beats a good pint of Felinfoel, some tunes on the jukebox, and the lovely atmosphere.

Great pub with friendly staff. Well priced Jukebox with regular live bands. Excellent quality pool table and the new addition of a snooker table. Very clean with a great beer garden for summer evenings.

Good beer and good company, and social distancing is well adhered to 👍

Popped in for a drink a couple of weeks ago and yes I am still calling there, nice interior plus a very pleasant beer garden.

Cracking staff, very polite, good choice of beers/lagers.

A fantastic pub. Friendly, great service, real ale and lots of great live music. A good outside area too although needs some shelter

Regular music means the place is lively....

Always great live bands here the landlord nows what great bands sound like

Nice bar good selection of drinks on offer large beer garden and snooker table

Not visited for a while but same good welcome and fine beet

Lovely pub, we tend to go a lot when there are bands there and it is always bouncing and it is a good night out. Nice beer garden as well

Really friendly pub with great music.

Very nice hotel, great location, nice function rooms, bedroom spacious clean and comfortable, bathroom well appointed.

Great atmosphere and live bands

Favourite pub. Frequented for many a year.

My favourite pub in central Neath. Nice atmosphere, friendly landlord and staff. We used to go there for Sunday lunch but they stopped doing it a while back.

Lovely pub to visit and great staff very friendly. Deifantly recommended

Brilliant rock pub with live bands. Super nice people. Great 🤘🏼

Buzzing tonight...school reunion and band 😀

Not a bad pub bands not bad prices expensive would only go there now and again

Cash only no card. But good live music

Last of the great proper rock bars

A reasonably well lit pub that's a good venue for live music. Drinks good and not too bad a price. Decent atmosphere so I would happily go again.

Excellent real ale perfectly presented.

Good pub relaxed atmosphere and busy

Great atmosphere highly recommended 5 stars

Good venue for music..nice staff..good environment

Friendly bar staff, the alcohol is at a reasonable price

Este lugar no tiene comida, por desgracia, como he tenido muy buenas comidas aquí en el pasado. Sin embargo, es fácilmente el mejor pub de Neath en el fin de semana. El personal era fantástico, muy educado, amable y profesional. Nunca he visto ningún problema o cualquier personal de la puerta un verdadero tributo a cómo bien dirigido este pub es el propietario que es muy acogedor, buena selección de bebidas y música en vivo todos los fines de semana. ¿Qué más se puede pedir?

Nos quedamos aquí por la noche, así que no puedo comentar sobre el restaurante, este es un muy atractivo pub justo fuera del centro de la ciudad, nos encontramos en un sábado por la noche durante el Mundial de fútbol y el ambiente era increíble, el personal detrás de la barra eran excepcionales, pese a estar mayores de 20, increíblemente amable, y nada era un problema para ellos, ni tan siquiera un grupo de demasiado emocionado Kiwi's. El pub estaba muy lleno, y había un fantástico cubre banda (no recuerdo el nombre). Sin duda volveremos a este pub la próxima vez que estemos en Neath.

We stopped off before shopping in neath we had 1 mexican chicken 1 pie and chips 1 bbq chicken 1 16oz gammon all meals stunning well worth a visit

Horrorizados por no sólo la comida, pero el servicio también. Tenía un pelo en mi comida, la comida estaba tibia, el bistec mi madre era sólo grasa pura y el descanso de ajo era como rock. Informó a la chica que trabaja allí y su respuesta era incluso peor. Me dijo que había hecho mi propio cabello en mi comida por alguna extraña razón, le dije a mi Nan que nos había hecho un error con el Feed back nos había regalado y celebró el cambio panes Nan en el bar. Muy grosero!

Visited for lunch with my daughter and mum. Barman was friendly enough...took a seat, looked at the menu and ordered. My daughters steak arrived with a short dark hair cooked onto it. They replaced it immediatly... another well done steak appeared within minutes. All our meals were luke warm..my rump medium rare was just a mass of inedible fat. Looked around for either the barman or the sour faced waitress to inform them our meals were not up to scratch...no one in sight. We waited around twenty minutes before she appeared at the bar. My mum approached her and told her about our disatisfaction. Her attitude was appalling. She told my daughter it was her own hair on the steak...my daughter has long blonde hair!!! She informed us that they had not had any complaints today and we were incorrect with our feedback( she wasnt quite as polite as that mind you)... safe to say we will not be returning.... especially as she slammed my mums change on the bar instead of handing it to her... some training in customer services is deffo needed for her...

This is one great pub, be it to eat at, to drink in, or to watch live music, it really is master of all of them. When we are seeing pubs change owners on a weekly basis, the current owner has been there as long as I can remember, and it shows, professional and pleasant, be it for a quite game of pool, a drink after a Neath rugby match, a meal, or some live music.

Really friendly staff, very good service

I have visited this pub on many occasions and have never been disappointed with the quality, quantity or value of the food there. The Sunday lunch is one of the best and the beef cooked to perfection. We have had Christmas day lunch here for the past two years and are returning again this Christmas. As someone said previously, it is a little gem. The staff are great, always helpful and polite, what more could you want? :-)

Went to watch a band in Victoria gardens then few of us got bit hungry and fancied a pint. This was the nearest pub and was so glad we went there, hadn't been in the pub for years and didn't realise the had restaurant at back. I had home made lasagne and my partner had mixed grill and we wasn't disappointed, and would definitely be going back and recommended it.

Go to this pub often as great to play pool, decent beer, good big screen for the rugby. Customer service above and beyond today though as around a month ago I thought I'd lost my handbag, walked in today and the barman recognised me and told me they'd kept it for me from last time I'd been in, still had all my best make up in there! Great place for a daytime beer, would recommend.

Terrible beer and cold food will not be going again the man behind the bar was so miserable used to be really good

after a 10.30 eucharist at my local anglican church on my day off, i decided to have a bar meal at the cross keys,which is a few yards away from the church right next to the scenic vistas of the recently revamped neath gardens.i ordered chicken curry, half and half as we say in wales,and it came within minutes..the service was friendly and considerate and the meal was delightful with good hearty portions....the landlord was friendly and courteous and as a real bonus there was a top notch juke box nearby,allowing you to listen to some great music with your bar meal....i noticed there was a seperate restauraunt room around the corner which allowes for a more intimate meal setting away from the hurly burly of the bar area..the food was excellent value for money..great atmosphere,service..lovely location....what more could you want..

Food is excellent service friendly atmosphere in pub quiet and cosy . Definately go there again as nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff

Few of us went for food on Father's Day. Booked a table as a friend reccomened to book due to the popularity of Sunday lunches, so booked to avoid disappointment. We were shown to our table right away by someone and went up the bar to purchase drinks as it must be seperate to the restaurant. Service was brilliant and the girls in the restaurant were so friendly and helpful. The food was lovely and you can totally tell this Sunday lunch was home made. The gravy was lush! Portions were so good for the money and we all had mains and desserts. Would defiantly reccomened this restaurant for value for money, lovely good and service. Will be coming again

Very nice restaurant friendly staff and excellent food, especially sunday lunches, very good value for money, I will definitely be going back there.

After being told to sit anywhere as we popped in for early evening lunch we waited about half an hour to order or drinks and a further half an hour for our food order to be taken. The bar was busy but there was only 2 staff to cover both areas. Felt neglected the entire time we were there. The food was ok ... microwaved I think as it was so hot. My steak was 75% gristle and after mentioning it to waiter waited a further 45 mins for another one which came with same sides (chips and peas) including my half eaten one Slightly over priced for what we got and portions we received. Also there was a funny smell in one half of the room and some wall paper peeling Will not be back

Excellent!!! Food is fantastic and really good value for money. I have been here a few times and have always had great service with lovely food.

Very old fashioned needs a good lick of paint Ive had better in cafes so nothing to shout about certainly wouldn't go back strong smell of damp.
