Really sloppy service when the place is only half full seems ridiculous. Staff were arrogant.

Lovely little bar that's a rare find in Newport, right along the river. Staff are all friendly and welcoming and the music was great! Cocktails were reasonably priced and the food looked lovely.

I went with a large party for bottomless brunch on Saturday. The drinks, food, service and atmosphere were so lovely. Everyone had an amazing time. The staff were also super accommodating beforehand with orders. Highly recommend the bottomless brunch experience

We were excited to try Bar.code, but unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing. Once seated, we were informed of a 45-minute wait for food due to understaffing. Not wanting to have to wait too long we ordered food immediately and let them get on with things whilst we decided what we wanted to drink. While we understood the situation, the wait for food ended up being much longer. Sadly the cocktails weren't great (which probably should have been obvious from the descriptions of the generic alcohol being used) and after a couple we realised that it had already been over an hour since we'd ordered our food. My wife enquired as to what was going on and we were assured that our order was the next being prepared... 15 minutes passed and we were told that our order was being worked on currently... 15 more minutes passed and we were assured that our order was on its way out. We left, explaining our disappointment to a member of staff on the way out. While we appreciate that the restaurant was understaffed, giving customers unrealistic expectations and then failing to deliver on those promises is unacceptable. Whilst we assume this was an isolated incident, we wont be returning to find out.

Pretentious place. They forget they are in Newport. The staff looked myself and all of my party up and down like we were scum. Even though we'd paid for the private room. Judging people based off of their looks is shameful especially paying customers. Never going back, and I'll make sure to recommend against this 'establishment' in the future to anyone in the South Wales area who enquires. Hopefully they learn from their ways and treat all customers equally.

Change is afoot - now known as barcode and under different hands, you can see changes are being made. I like it that they state ‘changing prices to be more affordable and accommodating’, this recognising the view that some people have of it ‘being too pricey’ or ‘only as a treat.’ Beer was nice, good service, just popped by as passing. Looking forward to see what happens!

OK, so you have a 2hr booking policy for Sunday lunch. So far, so good. BUT, surely with this in mind, you should bring the food out in less than 1 1/4 hrs, and ideally, hot? If you are made aware of there being a toddler in the party, a highchair should be ready at the table, and (this is the best bit...) be available until we leave? Surely you don't ask for it back part way through? The food was, in my opinion, mediocre at best. I had Dirty Roasties which were very bland, and cauliflower cheese which was delicious. The veg for Sunday lunch option was OK; swede & carrot mash was lovely, but the peas were cold. As for the 2 types of cabbage...can't comment on that. It seems that serving larger parties is an issue, family style plating is all well & good,but it all needs to come out together and in a timely manner. We waited for over an hour for the veg, then another 10minutes or so for the meat. Then we had to ask for gravy, which when it appeared was lukewarm at best. I'm sorry Mr Pod, but I won't be rushing back

Пришли сюда вечером попить пиво и расслабиться. Сидели внутри. Не понравились грязные столы и разные стулья у одного стола. Цены хорошие, но успеть выпить пиво у нас не получилось. В 22.45 к нам подошли и сказали, что надо закругляться, хотя в сайте писало, что работают до 24. Смотрев на другие отзывы, думала, что классное заведение. Возможно стоит дать ему еще один шанс, но уже днем и на улице?

Was part of a party for a family celebration this place is not worth the money they brought out the veg for 14 people and then 25 minutes later the meat arrived on a big platter nobody knew what was what my beef was barely warm and charging extra for cauliflower cheese and carrots is disgusting and the kale never showed up And also they sold out of date beer 6 months out of date when I brought this to there attention it was met with a shrug of the shoulders and eventually a bottle that ran out tomorrow So save yourself the money and time much better places to eat

Didn’t live up to expectations. Started badly as I walked in, waited to be seated but no-one bothered (staff were walking around). I had to ask if it was ok to find my own seat. Then waited for a waitress - none showed up. Seriously considered leaving at this point. Table was sticky. Found a menu and went to the bar to order myself. Waitress then comes over and says she’ll take order at the table. She was helpful. My burger was ok, nothing more. £15 seemed steep for what it was. Condiments in sachets seemed not in keeping with the place in my opinion. It’s just a confused place - order at table or order at bar? I was there an hour and watched five groups try and exit via a locked door. Surely the staff see these things and should do something to make it clearer?!?!? Won’t rush back.

We booked for dinner Saturday 24th . We had heard really good things about the Pod . First impressions, we waited for an absolute age before anyone acknowledged us , we were taken to our table which was ready , it was a nice table however , the top was sticky, a really good wipe would have sorted this . Our waitress took our drinks order took an age to arrive , two cocktails they were banging , we then ordered food . When we sat down the waitress listed off an extensive list of what we couldn't order disappointed as a couple of them we were going to have . We settled on the asian platters with some halloumi fries . The food took an age to arrive however it was really nice we followed ut with dessert. My experience of the Pod , well food was ok , cocktails were ok but expensive but the service was slow and disjointed. This could be an absolute gold mine if it was restructured and focused . Would I go back ? Maybe for a drink however , the service and speed really lets the Pod down . It wasn't unpleasant, the food was ok but service is paramount. Newport market probably has it beaten now .

It was a horrible experience. Staff very rude and racist. Tables can only be booked for 2 hours even on a Saturday. Got moved to another table and was told we had the table for the rest of the evening as that was a spare table. Half an hour later a guy comes up to me and told me that we had to get up and leave that he had booked the table for someone else, but we advised him we had the table for the rest of the evening. He goes off and comes back and stood there are basically ordered us to leave and that we come go across the road to another pub if we wanted. Bare in mind I was the only ethnic minority person there. When a table is booked there is a board with the name of the person who booked it but nothing was on this table. Will never ever go back. Worst experience ever. Only 1 toilet as well. Rude and horrible staff. Had more fun in the Potters across the bridge where I saw most people who came from the Pod in there

This is the oldest pub in Newport, so it seemed rude not to call in for a drink. I had a half pint of a good hand pulled ale. My partner had a pint of stout. It is worth a visit if you’re interested in traditional beer.
