It’s time to announce the best pub in Wales. We ran a poll to ask you to vote for all your favourite pubs in Wales, and thousands of you voted for the places you like to enjoy a refreshing pint after a hard week at work.

That’s not to say that all the pubs on our shortlist of the best pubs in Wales specialised in beer though, there were those with specialist cider selections, and a number of great wine bars too.

You voted for pubs across the country, and while our best beaches in Wales poll was dominated by West Wales, the best pubs in Wales poll has been dominated by East Wales.

But which of the pubs from our shortlist of 100 actually rose to the top of the barrel? Which pub is Wales’ favourite?

Oliver Ladbrooke-Davies, the 26-year-old landlord at the Coach, says that he was never a beer connoisseur before taking over the pub in 2010, but after having over 500 different brews on tap, he thinks he’s just about got the hang of it.

“Along with a few of my friends, it’s evolved into a locals pub, and we specialise in real ale. We don’t do food, but we have had about 550 ales since we opened.

“We have six ales on at any one time, and we try not have the same ones twice unless they’ve been popular.”

The young landlord tries to promote local breweries when possible, and says that the Coach is still very much a pub for the community.

“We deal with a lot of local breweries like Tiny Rebel, Celtic Experience, and Otley, we try and get them back as much as possible. But generally we have one cask of a beer and then move on.

“This is a community pub, for everyone who has had a pint in here, played their guitar in here, or brought their dog in here. It’s their pub really, not mine.

“And it’s an honour to win the poll, for all of us who work here, we’re all very flattered. It feels like a pat on the back and a thank-you for the hard work. A lot of blood, sweat and beers have gone into this.”
