The Vine Tree

The Vine Tree is a grade two listed pub on Monnow Street with three floors and a Georgian front facade. The rear section features late Medieval windows and timber-framed interior spaces that date to the 1600s.

This building opened in 1792 as the Coach and Horses before James Hayward renamed it the Vine Tree in 1820. The name change marked a shift in how the establishment was managed and perceived.

The building shows traditional Welsh pub design with features from different periods, including timber framing inside that dates back to the 1600s. This mix of styles reflects how the place evolved over centuries of use.

This building opens only for special events and requires advance planning to access the historical property. Visitors should arrange ahead of time to ensure they can enter.

In 1828 the property housed a brewery, stables, cellars, and gardens along with various workshops for trades like gunsmiths and tea dealers. This combination of businesses shows how central the place was to the local economy.
