The Llanover Arms in Rhondda Cynon Taf

Was there Sunday night for Christmas drinks with family, and the owner ws very rude

I love this place, it's so relaxing and friendly. Lots of choices of beer in a warm atmosphere and friendly customers. We love John the landlord, his sense of humour is fantastic.

Busy old skool pub, great beer, good atmosphere.

If you want a friendly local feel to a pub a great atmosphere and authentic feel then go here. This is a proper drinkers pub with live music and great little pub garden.

Best pub in town by far. Good beer guide.

Traditional pub serving well kept ales, oldy worldy interior and friendly locals how a pub should be.

Great no frills pub. Always a few real ales on tap at decent prices.

Unspoiled locals pub, well worth finding

250 years this pubs been open and it has one bad review. That tells you all you need to know. Love the llan

Bitterly disappointed with this pub tonight. Joined my family for a pint to celebrate my great uncle David in his passing only to be met with rude and disrespectful customer service. I appreciate that some of us were merry and quite loud. However, after losing someone, it’s nice to let of some steam especially in a home town like Pontypridd. Spent a pretty penny only to be heckled by the locals and the staff making petty comments joining in. If you’re looking for a friendly communal pub, then I would avoid this place. Do better.

Good friendly place small but cosy and fabulous beer garden

You can't beat The Llan for a decent pint, and there's always a good atmosphere. Proper local pub, but always welcoming. Sat in the beer garden for the rare occasion that we had some sun!

Did not have food but great selection of beer

Nice beer garden loads of choice in beer and ales and dog friendly beer garden

A fab pub and great atmosphere every time we come here and the staff are always polite and fab customer service

Lovely Old Boozer(Typical of the Old Valley Pubs)very few left these days,enjoy it while you can,K

Good choice of beer , excellent service .

A very friendly place who welcomed a festive invasion and coped well with a flurry of drinks orders. Looking forward to visiting again in the future.

Still a traditional pub with good beers and friendly staff. Lovely log burner going in the corner.

Warm friendly welcome by all the staff

One of the best pubs in Ponty. Men's toilets are charmingly primitive.

Pub was buzzing with people talking and merrily drinking. No music , no karaoke no food ,just friends chatting. Great staff . Typical old fashion pub , more of these please.

Probably the best pub on the planet.

Haven't been here in years due to moving away. It's a timeless classic though...very friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely stop here again

A proper pub. Good beer, no food (but the barman let us bring in a takeaway from the local chippy) and a fabulous indoor/outdoor toilet. Oh and the beer garden is really good too. Located under a busy flyover, but really nice just the same!!!

Me, the family and my dog had a wonderful time at the live music night in the beer garden! The musicians were all so friendly and talented. It was nice to have something a little different in the area.

Traditional (old fashioned) pub with great range of beers and a very loyal local clientele.

Awesome old school boozer. Hand pull ales are bang on.

Lovely little pub, always a warm welcome and cold ciders on tap when we arrive! We love it x

Old school pub, serves decent beer and larger

Great beer garden to be in on sunny day friendly staff

Traditional friendly pub, good beers and very reasonably priced wine.

Apart from the grumpy elvis look alike nothing has changed which is refreshingly good Always a fantastic choice of hand pulled beers 🍻

Just a old fashioned pub .drink inside or outside

Gave me a new clean beermat to take home for my son's beermat collection to decorate his wall in uni 👍

-Ok service -I liked the parish style seating -Clean toilets (ladies) -Atmosphere was dodgy to ok

Sorry ! Small beginers back street pub! Pint of lager with a bigger head than mine! Very small untidy looking pub, barman didn't even speak to me apart from, "yes please" before serving. Seats were loose if you moved they went with you. Toilets were like the old outhouse style, I noticed as the urine was running through the trough it seem to disappear half way to to drain. Sorry not one of my faves'.

Superb real ales and great service

Had my first legal pint in here in 1972. Though I no longer live in the area I called in today . Same character new owners of course but the very same warm welcome.

Traditional pub with real fires and great value fresh, home cooked meals

Quiet Sunday afternoon only one real ale. Rugby Union Scarlets v Munster on pub TV.

Great d pub. Guests ales were lovely, will be visiting again 😀

Good gaff, nice pint. Better than a chain pub. Character for days.

Best pub in pontypridd The staff are amazing Customer service is Good The drinks are lush Always have a laugh in this place

Lovely pub, great beer and beer garden. Top stop for a drop.

Great staff and atmosphere. Best pub for miles around.

Always been a good pub , but more so now with outside area as it is. Guinness spot on !

Lovely new beer garden, great for a chilled catch up with friends. Very friendly staff and first class service

Exellent outdoor seating area and always friendly to dogs. A very good selection of local and real ales. Cider selection is good. Staff are excwllent and outside area is at seat service with record book for customers. Excellent local pub always worth a visit.

My old local when I was young No change - in a good way.

Popped in for a swifty when on a ride. Staff were lovely and chatty and very welcoming.

Great traditional pub and as normal as can be under the present restrictions!

Great pub with enjoyable atmosphere.

Friendly and service was excellent 👌

It's OK, bit of an old man's pub. No music just go for a catch up. Pints are good though.

A great traditional pub. Good beers

Lovely meal but place esp seats need a makeover.

Best pub in Pontypridd, genuine old boozer. Quality beers, don't expect chique, no blaring music. When in Pontypridd give it a visit, you won't be disappointed.

Friendly staff, will return. Lovely owners. Thank you

One of the oldest pubs in Pontypridd, lot of history

Great service and friendly atmosphere

Great little pub, friendly staff, great atmosphere and good beer... Like pubs used to be... Traditional and local

Maybe we went on a bad night, but the atmosphere was poor and we weren't made to feel welcome. The "regulars" stopped their conversation in the bar to ogle the women in the group. Ale is kept far too cold too

Good pub and meet friends there regular

Classic traditional pub, no food, no nonsense, just good people and good selection of beer.

Nice and friendly atmosphere I'd go again

Compact, old town pub. So much history!

What pubs used to be like and what they should be like

Brill old fashioned pub, one of a kind!

Heard lots about the history and interested in visiting. Not quite as expected..remember that strongbow advert....🙄😁

Nice pub good choice of drinks. Not the best looking pub out there. But really nice.

Great little pub with a choice of 4 real ales when I visited. I thought the one I had was well kept although it was a stated cloudy wheat ale.

Good choice of drinks in a welcoming atmosphere

Well kept beer, unspoilt old pub, friendly bar staff.

Gets very crowded on the weekend. But very nice staff .

Just across from pontypidd park and grounds

good old fashioned pub, friendly service and good beer

Great as a meeting point for large groups

good pint and vintage inside but the beer garden is very poor

Old fashioned drinking pub, no frills just go there for a quiet drink.

Great pub. Good selection of ales. Too much bleach in the bogs mind.

Chris the barman is a delight x

A traditional pub with a good atmosphere.

Lovely old pub. Great atmosphere .

Oldie worldie pub great place for a pint 🍻

Nice real old pub with beer garden

Love the Llanover good laid back atmosphere great Stella and good choice of beers.

Good old fashioned pub, great ales and friendly landlord

Great beer. Talkative bar staff. Local characters. Top notch bit of Welshness!

Fantastic old fashioned pub. No frills, Just friendly service and a good cellar. Nice little snugs to hide away in.

Friendly and unspoilt. Only one real ale on during my visit but it was in excellent condition.

Good pint and good friendly staff, always a chat going,,!!

Friendly old pub...good craft beer!

Nice range of beers and decent food

Fantastic locals pub, good beer & one of the only places in Ponty that sells Stowford xxx

Best pub in Ponty !!! Great range of guest beers 3 different at the weekend 😆

Proper pub! No frills but great welcome and friendly atmosphere. Always a good selection of real ales and ciders but still provides run of the mill lagers etc. No food served on premises but you are welcome to purchase and eat food from the nearby takeaways

Some of the best beers in the area

Whenever I visit this pub I always think it could do so much better. Needs more craft beer bottles on sale. The barman kindly lit the fire for us which was good.

Proper pub with great choices of beer and tasty pork scratching's. You will find at least 3 Real Ales on the bar and you will always get a chat with another customer if you want one in the Bar, friendly place with 2 side rooms quiet snug great for the Sunday Papers and a Lounge with TV. That means NO TV in the Bar, I like that :)
