A proper old school boozer. A great place to go to avoid the Taff Street Rambos on a Saturday night. Hilight of the year in Ponty is the Xmas carol singing in the "Llan" on the last Sunday before Xmas. Just don't be too shocked at what happens when " 5 gold rings" is being sung :)
Grat beer, nice locals, good atmosphere. Some say it's a timewarp, I say this is how pubs should be ..... not an alcopop in sight.

Superb restaurant. Sundays at the Garrison are a joy. As already pointed out though, does't even pretend to be a boozer. Shame really ...

The Bunch of Grapes, Pontypridd
Not really sure why this pub has got such lukewarm reviews.
In a town where venturing out for a pint can be taking your life in your hands, the Bunch is a breath of fresh air for me. Friendly staff, nice locals, comfortable surroundings and award winning ales (Otleys O1 is truly fantastic), and I've not even started on the food yet.
The lunches in the Bunch are superb value. Expect to pay around �12 for 2 lunches with drinks (I've paid more for KFC). How they can make a profit on these given the quality ingredients they use, I really don't know. The evening menu is more expensive (�14 for a main), but always fantastic and the considerable selection of specials always changing. My only criticisms of the Bunch are:
1. Bring back the sausage sandwich on the lunch menu
2. Lunches can be a little inconsistent. The kitchen B team sometimes used, it seems to me.
Oh, also a dog friendly pub, and a great place to watch the rugby.

Flagstones, Treforest
A decent bar with a good selection of beers. Food is good and very well priced. Lots of students though, which can be annoying, as it's not a huge place, and they tend to take over..
