Sportsman, Newtownback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Well worth trying the Sportsman. Montys Brewery pub, with character. Three rooms including the main bar, and lounge area.
Good pint of Montys Mischief. Also guest ale available.

Easily the best pub in Newtown and our favourite of 10 Mid Wales pubs we sampled yesterday. This is Monty's flagship pub and had several of their ales on - Sunshine, Masquerade, Old Jailhouse, Mischief, Magnitude & MPA. In addition, there were 2 guest ales - Hobsons Champion Mild & Brains The Rev James. 7 real ciders completed the options - Broadoak Kingston Black, Rich's Legbender, Hogans Pickers Passion, Sandford Orchards Devon Mist, Blaengawney Halletts Blindfold, Mr Whiteheads Newtons Discovery & Gwatkin Silly Ewe. Dunkertons Organic was an extra cider on keg. There are 2 reasonably small rooms. The barmaid was friendly. Seemingly popular with locals as well as visitors. It's certainly one to try if you're ever in these parts.

Something of a real ale drinkers hot spot. Plenty of choice in a comfortable atmosphere - worth a look-in.
|
Now reopened as a tap for the local montys brewery. 5 ales incl 4 from montys and a real perry. Excellent.
|
Closed but been refurbished. Rumour it will open as a free house and a brewery tap for the local montys brewery.
|
