user reviews of the Open Hearth Inn, Griffithstown
please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
| The Open Hearth was our 7th pub of the day in the valleys. None of the previous 6 are listed on the site (Pontlottyn, Abertillery; Tilers Arms, Bourneville; Hobby Horse, Brynmawr; Kings Arms, Ebbw Vale; Pottery, Blaenavon & Bridgend Inn, Pontynewynydd). The Open Hearth has a nice location at the end of a cul-de-sac alongside the canal. With it being a nice day yesterday, we chose to sit outside watching the goings on along the canal. 4 ales were dispensed - Dartmoor Jail Ale, Youngs Special, Wye Valley HPA & Greene King Gold Beach. Unlike the previous pubs, what lets this pub down was the service. The barmaid acted as if she was doing you a favour when serving - no please's or thank you's. As usual, I returned our glasses to the bar. No word of appreciation from her at all. Such a shame that a pub with so much potential disregards customer service. But I suppose the location will always draw in the punters, without it having to try. For a much better experience, head up Wern Road and a couple of minutes walk away is the Sebastopol Social Club. Service was spot on and I happened to hit upon a beer festival! blue_scrumpy - 19 May 2014 19:52 |
