Griffin Inn

Head out towards Dyffryn Road and you'll find yourself in Griffin Inn territory—the kind of place where regulars actually know the landlord and the jukebox isn't fighting against three TVs showing different matches. It's the pub Pontypridd needs: unfussy, welcoming, and genuinely interested in doing things properly. You'll find decent cask ales on tap, a menu that treats ingredients with respect, and a room that feels lived-in rather than designed. Whether you're after a pint after work or somewhere to actually sit down over food, this does both without the nonsense.
