The Iron Duke in Torfaen

Friendly staff had a great time :)

Great pub staff friendly and prices are great too

It's a sports bar. Cheap fosters lager £2.80 a pint. Lots of TV screens. Good atmosphere. No kids. Doesn't serve food.

Bit of a dump. Needs a good clean. Most thing's broke. Very slow service. Good things cheap drinks and music.

Cheap beer, former spoons so it’s a hike to go for a pee!

I did not go in I just walked past.it. we used to go in all the time, from before and when the children were born. They are now 8 and 12 but that's when they used to serve meals. Nowadays we have to go to Cwmbran which is a pity.

Staff an Ellie absolutely lovely,, girl,, thank you Ellie, and Alex, thanks for your kindness, and for watching over me on that day!! Channel 4)) were filming! A Zombie drama!! ...I enjoyed my day.truly you were an amazing pub..and Alex, the landlord amazing, family guy..very intuitive..more than just a pub landlord, truly u are..

Lovely pub, always moderately busy, friendly and reasonably priced. Unfortunately they don't do food, also children aren't allowed in but a lovely pub to relax in child free.

Lovely place always smells really clean and fresh . Excellent service lovely staff who are always really friendly . We go in each day after going to the gym. The coffee is delicious.

Coffee morning with gym ladies, excellent value for money, spotless clean, helpful staff.

Nice clean and warm pub . Prices are very good bar staff and landlady very pleasant.

Bad place to go don't allow kids which is poor never go there again

Good for a coffee or pint, allow the dog in

Entertained here on a Sunday afternoon, great atmosphere from an excellent audience, looking forward to my next visit.

Ecellent service ,brilliant entertainment cheap beer 100%all round

The staff is very friendly and efficient clean environment although the establishment was very quiet this particular evening.

Cheap, friendly, always music and a sports playing. Great local pub.

Great atmosphere & fabulous christmas decorations.

There very friendly but dos not sell food .but do sell drinks. Coffee tea and alcohol. Crips and nuts.

Beautiful inside and a gorgeous back terrace for summer evenings but definitely cosy vibes inside

Beautiful pub.... friendly and helpful bar staff...

Great stuff, just popped in for pint while out around town for the market 👍

This is a pub. Not a restaurant. Only food is bar snacks.

Brilliant place, brilliant bar staff and management.

Great staff..cheap beer..what more would you want

Brilliant. Clean. Friendly place.

A typical spoons. What more is there to say. Not my usual bag but necessity won out sadly.

What a fantastic Sunday afternoon people danced to the sounds of Dave Scott

Good bar, nice outside area, tidy seating. Helped by a decent cider.

Great pub. Lazy Life played there on Sunday. Great atmosphere and a top band. Really good beer too. Happy days.

Guy behind the bar was very polite and friendly.

Fair play to all the covid restrictions the staff were friendly and couldn't do enough to help make your visit enjoyable

Brilliant afternoon so happy to see all our friends. The refurbishment to the outside is stunning

Great beer and fab entertainment on Sunday afternoons

Cheap as chips and social distancing table service.

I frequent IRON DUKE regularly. It’s our largest public house. Landlord Fred and family have proven to be professional and warm I have issues they make me feel safe xx

Friendly owners and the staff Really nice prices are OK not to expensive well worth a visit

Nice open space for meeting family and friends

Very good service all round thank you at least 4

New landlord spent time with us having and invited us to his xmas party.

Nice enough pub,but sadly pontyoool not got much there to attract people,not many pubs either,

Great pub and now started doing toasted sambos and soup

I'm from pontypool used to like it when was spoons ...dont even give it time of day now

Absolutely the best pub in Pontypool. Landlord Fred and is lady Val could not wish for better people. 🍺 My beer is a Sanmigel.one for me Tony

Good staff, good prices, nice decor, friendly owners

Absolutely amazing atmosphere, would hughly recommend for a quite drink or drink with matea

Great pub great atmosphere great prices

Very good pub with music more people should give it a try

I just went to go in there with my husband and my 6th month old daughter and was asked to leave as children are not allowed on the premises. I was told as it is no longer a wetherspoons we had to leave. I don't know what damage a 6 month old in a pram can do. That means that there is no longer a cheap family restaurant in pontypool. Thanks.

Ever since spoons got removed, this place has been a bustling place to drink, eat and generally have a good time. Love the place!

Quiet afternoon and early evening

Great beer, WiFi a bit iffy, great place for sports.

It's ok it would be even better if they actually sold food

Great my husband n I had a fab time

What a bunch of tossers bouncers

Good Pub... Now food unless criss

Good quick service. Clean and not rowdy.

Full of men, intimidating to say the least, nice decor, good value drinks

Unlike what this is tagged as, it's not a restaurant. Music in the venue was far too loud on a Sunday evening (!) And quite a lot of undesirable people attending on Friday and Saturday nights. Only saving grace is that the staff are friendly. Was ultimately better when it was a Wetherspoons.

Always a friendly and definitely not clicky, everyone welcomes everyone. All pubs have regulars, that don't make them clicky or ignorant,. I always look forward to going in, I've not had a bad experience there personally in last 3 years I've been going, & I am from Manchester, poor them but they tolerate me ha ha Anne-Marie XX Need Food, then would be a 5 from me probs

Absolutely shocking service waited about 4 hours for my breakfast wrap

Does not do food so a let down for the town centre so went to the unicorn and that was amazing

Brilliant place bar staff really good and helpful

Lovely welcoming pub .Hosting a coffee morning in aid of Macmillan amazing home made cakes on offer ....not to missed.

Better than once was spoons. Clean tidy and plenty of sport on many tvs

OK for a drink but no one younger 18 aloud and no food served

Relaxing place perfect for a drink.

Always a great atmosphere good prices with some great live music at times well recommended

No food and music so loud you can't speak to your mates without shouting. If that's what the youth of today call a good night out good luck to them.

Very reasonable prices. Warm and comfortable.

Getting fed up of the same band's on a Sunday

Very friendly and welcoming. Love the overall atmosphere and the local clientele is extremely welcoming. I wish this pub was on my doorstep as it would quickly become my regular.

Great pub thourghly enjoyed time there

Music is too loud, no food and a short drinks menu. More of a local pub then a weather spoons

Great pub and atmosphere just like the old spoons but with live sport and music without the food and no kids !!!! Brill

Cheap coffee, pleasant bar staff and good decor.

Good honest pub, clean, friendly and has great range of drinks, as well as always having the latest sporting events on show can't complain about anything

Clean and tidy, and prices weren't bad either
