Patriot Bar in Rhondda Cynon Taf - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We visited on a Friday evening and we felt very welcome. Good selection of very good beers at the bar. Reasonable prices. A good atmosphere from the what I assume is the regular crowd. Friendly bar staff.

Only been here once before and after a gig in the muni. Nice Larger here and a older generation seem to drink here. So ideal if you want to avoid the younger crowed and want a decent pint at a good price.

Strange little pub, full of loud, drunk men in their 50s and 60s, swearing and acting aggressively at the bar. Good beer, but not for the faint hearted. Depressing atmosphere when I was last there, a group of elderly, dead-eyed men were sitting together away from the bar, drinking heavily, drowning their sorrows.

Great time with friendly staff and customers. Fantastic beer, really enjoyed talking to locals. Felt so welcome.

I'll just say if you love Beer , the type without added gas and comes from a hand pump then this is the place for you. However the ambiance may not be to everyone's liking.

Muy ruidoso por día. Mejor por la noche. Marido dice buena cerveza pero él pone fuera de música tomando una copa allí

Be prepared for the rough and ready. This place is great if your not offended easily. Quite a rough place but I love it. Great place to stop after your shopping. Im female and go in here on my own without any problems at all. Give it a try!!!

On a recent visit to Ponty from Hampshire I could not wait to go to the wonky bar as I have been there 3 times before and love the place. Not everyones cup of tea I must admit, but what a place. Atmosphere, fantastic choice of some of the finest ales I have ever drunk and at such a great price.Also fantastic staff. As I said I now live in Hampshire but if I could take someone from here to sample a real valleys pub it would be the wonky bar.

Known to everyone as 'The Wonky Bar' it has a daytime trade that publicans anywhere would envy. Lots are ex Teddy Boys left over from another millennium who still think jiving is a new fangled dance craze they are harmless crinklies decanting memories of a Pontypridd most would never remember. Booze cheap and guzzable. Atmosphere may feel intimidating at first but gets better after the first 2 or 3 pints. Then it doesn't matter that most of the women could get a pickled onions caught in between their teeth. Good fun!

lunchtime drinkers smoke & swear on doorstep - how many characters do you need? Lowers tone of Ponty

Known as The Wonky, great selection of Ales. Very nice ;) dedicated smoking area. Great staff, highly recommended for the beer lover.

if your looking for a bar with a difference this is it. its full of shallow people who have made a career of smoking and drinking heavily.

Very small bar but filled with warmth and humour from it's inhabitants. Visitors are made to feel at ease and welcome by the chatter and banter of the regulars

Great if your a alcoholic full of people who cant grow up.loads of 50 to 70 year olds acting like 18s. Not a nice place. Avoid

If your not a regular alcoholic they take the mick out of you and want to know when your going to leave, barmaids r great but they can only do so much!

Been here a few times, I enjoy the banter and atmosphere, it's best to go there after you've had a few drinks first, and especially if there's a crowd of you. It is known as the Wonky Bar. No food served here. Some get nibbles from Iceland opposite and eat them there, no problem with that. Great juke box, don't expect quiet.

A great pub love the wonky bar always a welcome from the staff and customers a good place for few pints always pop in wen can

If your a p***head you will love it coz on alchoholics drink here pop in have a nose.mainly full of men but you do get the odd women in there but by god are they rough havent even got their own teeth like usually they have borrowed em off a dead person

Very popular watering hole in Pontypridd town centre.Locals call this place the wonky bar.beer comes from owners own micro brewery.

This is a pub, plain and simple. It's an awful one too, that you had better lower your standards for. You know, without asking (just as well, few people I met were intelligible), that they bitterly resent the smoking ban here more than anywhere else.

i thought you could always count on the bar staff if you had a problem to help out after numerous attempts nothing worst pub in pontypridd it should be shut down in my opinion

lovely little place - the beer is tremendous - try the rhymney dark - its gorgeous!! the landlord and staff are lovely and friendly :-) recently done out with a cosy wood burner!

I have been a few times allways warm welcome and friendly service real ales and excellent jukebox if in pontypridd its a must top place

Best pint of beer/Ale in Pontypridd if not the World, under refurbishment at the moment, I recommend the Export try the 8 pint test

A no nonsense pub with an excellent pint of choice beers at a reasonable price. No food here, but TV's for sport and a cracking jukebox !!

Small friendly bar, with excellent range of real ales, at excellent prices, and great juke box. Known locally as the Wonky bar, as after a few of their fine ales, you'll walk out wonky!!

What an odd place to put a bar. It really is just a converted shop and feels in the wrong place. Having said that the Rhymney beers are great. Not big, very little seating but i have to say ideal if you're going up to the Muni for a gig.

Very wonkie wonkie ppl wonkie bar staff this is the wonkie bar. Odd ppl can't say much more than this other rthan cheap beer

The Patriot Bar has been nicknamed 'The Wonky' by the locals. It may not be everyone's taste, but they have a good selection of real ales and a friendly atmosphere. It alway's seems to be fairly full throughout the day, maybe because it is quite small. I have only ever visited in the evening & Phil the owner is always willing to chat to you. Warning, the export will blow your head off.

An excellent choice of local real ales. They are kept well and taste fresh.Thanks for the previous reviews that took me here.The bar is indeed small and full of locals.

A place where beer is cheap atmosphere is great and locals are friendly, not much space in the pub area but if you can get in there then a refreshing pint is always on tap, and the staff helpful friendly and informative

No doubt about it the beer here is top of the shop!The Export has a real kick but the small bar can get really crowded but is well worth a visit if in Ponty en route to the Lan and Bunch from the bus or rail stations.

The Patriot is a small bar on Taff street selling the best real ale in town. Mostly brewed by the Rhmney Brewery. The four most popular beers are; Rhymney Bitter, Rhymney Dark, Bevans Bitter and Hobby Horse. There is a 10% discount for over 60s. The bar also has the best digital Juke box in Pontypridd.
