The Coach in Bridgend

Top beer. Even their own beer is good. Good range of keg. Draft. Ekeg. Animal friendly great dog meeting place. People are very friendly. Staff are great willing to sample a beer for your taste.

Poped in mid week for a pint with my partner, a good selection of ales. Our round was under £10. It was quite when we arrived but soon filled up with what looked like a local crowd but every one was nice and we enjoyed the music and atmosphere.

The low rating is due to the price of their white wine. £8 a large glass. 2 other pubs in town this was under £5. The Barman insisted this was the right price!!

First visit to a pub that has been on my list to visit for a long time. Professional manager, clean interior and lovely range of beers and ciders. Will defintely be back.

This is not a restaurant. But it is the nicest, friendliest pub you could ever visit. The staff are just amazing, the beer is great (especially the beer brewed on site) and the atmosphere is perfect. Couldn't wish for a better local. Well done to Lloyd and the team

I've not eaten here. But it's a great, friendly pub with a micro brewery and lots of guest ales. Good atmosphere. Not expensive.

I love this place. They have opened up a really cool micro brewery section in the back that you can see in to. They also have all the beer mats suspended from the bar ceiling that they have ever had on tap. It’s just a really cool and relaxed vibe. Recommend to everyone who wants a good pint and a nice calm atmosphere. I also love the cool Bridgend (monopoly) Board. Brilliant!

My sister and I just popped into the Coach for a half pint before supper. Our dog came with us. Neither of us are real bear drinkers but we were very nicely advised by the barwoman who gave us a generous taste of their own brew. We were impressed with the gleaming stainless steel brewing tanks on view. Their own brew is called Coach. It is a bitter but it was paler than I thought it might be and it was very fragrant. My sister thought it smelled of passion fruit. When we were told that raspberries were in the brew we could smell and taste them straight away. It was delicious and we ended up ordering another two halves. It was early Sunday evening. There were about a dozen locals in there. The atmosphere was friendly and there was some banter going on about the music being played. The owners have taken a risk with this investment and they have a good product. The Coach deserves to be supported by the local community. Looking forward to returning.

If you enjoy an excellent range of real ales and ciders, properly served by knowledgeable bar staff, this is the place for you. No frills but welcoming atmosphere, with loyal local customer base.

Friendly bar staff, awesome selection of beers, stouts, porters, ales, ciders and spirits that change weekly and reasonable prices. They also allow dogs! The pub is very small so it is usually very busy on a Friday and Saturday night but there is a small beer garden in the back. My husband and I only live down the road and visit at least once a week with our dog.

The Coach is a nice traditional "local" pub, with friendly regulars and serves a decent pint! Located quite close to the town centre, but no parking.

good selection ales and ciders just off town centre near college wish i lived closer would make it my regular reckomended

I’ve been here several times now when I’m Bridgend on business. Friendly staff and a proper commitment to real ale. Always an interesting selection and always on tip top condition. Well worth a visit!

I rate this place among my favorate pubs to visit If you are looking for friendly staff and customers with a local 'pub' feel this is it. Better still traditional ale!!!!!
