The Clarence Sports & Social Club

Walk into The Clarence and you're stepping into Newport's backbone—this isn't a restaurant trying to look like a pub, it's a proper sports and social club where regulars genuinely know each other's names. Set on Chepstow Road, it's the sort of place where the bar staff remember your order and the atmosphere shifts depending on what's on the screens. You'll find yourself surrounded by locals watching the match, catching up over a drink, or attending one of their regular events. It's unpretentious, welcoming, and exactly what a community space should be.
