Le Pub is a community-run grassroots live-music venue and vegan kitchen in the heart of Newport's High Street (NP20 1FW), trading since 1992. A compact, buzzing room, it hosts near-nightly gigs by up-and-coming punk, indie and alternative bands plus comedy and quiz nights. Its future was secured in January 2025 when the building was bought by Music Venue Properties to protect it as a grassroots venue. With a full backline and PA on site and a firmly original-music-first booking ethos, it's one of South Wales's most important small venues.
