Court House, Caerphillyback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Greene King I.P.A. only thing on hand pull. Decent enough tho. Service a bit hit and miss due to back to back bars and the two barmen both on the castle side, letting those on the door side wait. They sometimes put in an appearance to hug a young lady customer(?). Quite busy on a Wednesday evening, probably due to having live music on. Happy hour poster on display but only if you have the G.K. offerings.

Food led pub with a good view of the castle, from the outside terrace.
Brains SA, beer was much too cold and did not taste like Brains at all.
Must be a tourist trap in the summer. Could pass for a Wetherspoons, if you like that kind of thing.

I started going to the court house thinking for the first four months that it was a nice place to sit and have a quiet drink but wasnt happy that after this amount of time was then asked for i.d as i am 30years old and as i dont normaly need a prove it card as sadly i dont look under 21 they now refuse 2 serve me

I came to the courthouse last friday had a supposed coffee which was not very nice i complained in a polite manner and was refused another drink or my money back, but was told by consumer rights that i should not have been refused either way, so im very disapointed.

Going back a few years this used to be a great pub. A proper drinkers pub, 4 real ales, friendly atmosphere, good menu but not overtly a restaurant pub and in the large conservatory of the back of the pub, lovely views of Caerphilly Castle. Especially good on a warm summer evening when you can sit in the beer garden at the back enjoying a pint of good beer.
Going back there recently, all that remains are the good views! There is now only one beer on hand pump, which is not a very good one. The food is now straight out of the microwave and has now become a foody pub and the place is crawling with chavs. Agree with the first post that it now has a Wetherspoons type atmosphere but it's not one of the better Wetherspoons. A real shame this place has been let go so badly.

Lunchtime visit. Friendly enough, but with a sort of town Wetherspoons feel, although early quite a few apparently hardened drinkers in. Decent pint though
