The Rheola in Rhondda Cynon Taf

No idea why Google this is I would drink here , I'm much to posh . But always busy and always a nice pint , apparently

Bar manager foul with bad attitude shouldn't be front of house

The cost of the drinks are unbelievable

Awesome friendly staff and a nice chilled pub 😊 great pint and you are able to watch football and horse racing on a Sat afternoon

Popped in for a few pints, nice hot sunny day (remember them) beer garden empty so took my shirt off, soon to be shouted at by a staff member to put it back on! Garden was empty and we are both pensioners on walking sticks! We had planned for another group to join us but soon rearranged that idea. Would have filled the till up too. We didn't stay long.....

The staff may seem strict to most, but in my opinion this is needed to keep the pub tidy. There is a lot of people I know who are banned from here and the pub is a lot better off without them. They seem to have zero tolerance to anti social behaviour or drugs. Whilst it is one of the safest pubs in the Rhondda I know of it can be very clicky. Unless you've grown up in Porth since birth and was very popular good luck even striking up a conversation with someone in there. I can speak from experience as for my job I travel all over UK and visit different pubs. As a Welshman I'm more likely to get a warm welcome and make friends in an English pub or in Ponypridd/Cardiff.

Do nit go in this pub. Irs so clicky. I got told no dogs was allowed on bar do I sat in bear garden. The younge bar lady came out, asked for id although she had already served me alcohol. She came back out telling me my one teR old Freuchie had to be on a lead. I said no problem. 10mins later she came back telling me my puppy had to be tied up to bench. Myself and 19 year old daughter were only people out the garden. She then continued to spy on us and duck as we seen her. She was so weird. As I took our orange juice classes up to bar while leaving, I asked why there was a very old sheep fog kind of fog just walking around the bar if no dogs were allowed in. Even tho the dog was gorgeous 😍. She told me she wasn't going to be questioned and to contact Emma the manager for any queries. I was completely out of my comfort zone. Clicky pubs are not usually an issue as I'm only popping in for a juice. This pub was being nasty rude and very hostile due to use not being locals. It was so rude and uncalled for how this bar lady was towards me.... wow!!!!!

Went on a Thursday evening to play darts. It was really busy. Music was very loud. Great for a night out not so for a darts match. Drinks reasonably priced too.

I'm not sure if they did food, but it was really cosy and friendly. There's a smoking area outside with the heaters, so that helps, I'm looking forward to going again

If your out and about in porth this is the pub to be in. Lovely staff and a warm welcome. That's why I've given it 4 stars..

Called in to the Rheola on the way back from golf and met a few old friends who had not seen some time . The welcome was first class and the beer top notch. We stayed longer than intended.

Excellent pint, good atmosphere

Cheap. Enjoyable staff and patrons

Very cosy friendly pub with a lovely atmosphere

Great pub, fantastic atmosphere.

An excellent pint at a reasonable price, combined with a great atmosphere.

Not a very social place to visit. Bad people skills by the staff and management.

It's okay here.nothing to write home about.

Great friedndly pub. Good choice of beers

Nice local pub, average prices good atmosphere

great beer, and a good atmosphere

Good atmosphere.great bar service.pity about the poor seating and carpet.needs a refurbishment badly

Bar maid works tireless on her own and remembers what you want super service

Called into the Rheola for a night out, I have always enjoyed this pub. It is set in a good location with it's own car park, also just a short walk away from Porth railway station. The staff are really friendly which is probably why people return. It caters for all age groups which is why it is so popular.

A busy pub on a sunny Sunday afternoon friendly staff and customers

Nice pub. Busy on Saturday nights. £2.75 A pint.. can't fault it. They also take card payments.

Good friendly atmosphere. Typical valleys, everyone talks to you.

Good for social gatherings. Excellent atmosphere

Myself and my family and friends had a lovely meals and the staff and management team are ever so friendly it's well worth you're time to go and enjoying you're evening if you're staying in the Porth area

Really nice place to get to get her with friends. The staff are always lovely.

Great vibe there very friendly prices spot on 😍🤗 Kay Elizabeth X

Good boozer. Decent priced beer, no food or dining & few kids.

Friendly pub good beer/cider prices not too bad either

Friendly pub good beer and atmosphere

OK but limited real ales as owned by Rhymney brewery and I don't rate there beers much, they never seem to have a guest ale anymore. I don't frequent this pub as much as I used to.

Locals very friendly. Now Rhmney brewery ales. Sadly Bass no more. Ales in good condition.

Lugar fantástico, excelente selección de cervezas, vinos, licores, etc. Además el personal es excepcional. Lugar perfecto para una copa tranquila o un buen partido. La gran ventaja es el jardín de la cerveza es excepcional.

Encantador pequeño pub. Buena pinta, bonito jardín de la cerveza. Siempre tienen bandas de calidad en sábado. Vale la pena una visita

A good pub, known as a bit of a music pub and late night sessions.

Saved from accidentally walking into the women's toilet by caring locals who pointed me in the right direction. Pool and local beer on tap.

Very good atmosphere and friendly helpful staff. Good pint to one of the better pints in porth

Friendly staff prices not bad either

Very friendly valleys pub with reasonable selection of 3 Rhymney ales

Mi esposa a menudo visitas aquí en una noche de chicas de bebidas son un precio justo y siempre tiene un buen ambiente

Having visited here after a meal with friends in the old post office i can honestly say what a waste of time on both counts.The customers were not welcoming the decor a typical old pub that needs dragging and screaming from the 1970s the beer was average and the group of foul mouthed youths that seemed to have carte blanche in the bar drove us out to the beer garden its only redeeming feature if you want to stink of cigarette smoke.

Popped in on a Thursday after seeing the banner outside stating "entertainment every Thursday " only to be told it was 2 years out of date and they don't have entertainment any more. The pint was ok but the pub wasn't very welcoming to new people.

Great pub especially on Quiz Nights on Mondays. Need to get there early to get a seat but the service is great as are the staff.

It is absoulty amazing, the people are just lovely, the bands are amazing it puts a smile on my face:)

Went there fir 1st time a couple of weeks and found it a very friendly atmosphere, I will be visiting regular now withholding the wife. The guy with grudge is obviously a street drinker.
