About The Welly
The Welly is a pub in Maesteg where live gigs put artists on the bill in a small room that gets packed. Rugby plays on the pub's screens, and customers sing along as the matches run. For groups who come for the music or the game, the pub keeps the format simple. The Welly serves pints, so a gig night or a match day can start with a drink in hand.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the friendly, warm welcome at this Maesteg pub, with staff and regulars alike described as down to earth. Many call the atmosphere fantastic or great, and several name it the best pub in town. The pint draws its own praise, with one regular calling it pure quality and another finding it decent with good service. Live music features in a few visits, with one reviewer calling a pub gig the best they had been to and another enjoying a night with a live act in fine form. Rugby days bring singing, and one group notes they were still welcomed warmly. The venue is small, and one visitor describes it as packed to the rafters. One reviewer also picks out the urinals as impressively designed. Another recalls being given a drink on the house when they walked in.
