There are venues that put on live music. Then there's Tipsy Owl. 🎶🦉

Every week, artists travel from across Wales and beyond to perform in the heart of Pontypridd.
Not because they have to.

Because they want to.

In a world where so many towns have lost their live music venues, we've worked hard to build something special. A place where original artists, singer-songwriters, bands and musicians can step onto a stage, connect with a crowd and create moments people remember.

No backing tracks. No gimmicks.

Just exceptional talent, raw passion and a room full of people who genuinely love live music.

From intimate acoustic sets to packed-out nights in The Wardrobe, we've welcomed some incredible performers through our doors. Artists who could be playing Cardiff, Bristol or London, choosing instead to bring their music to Pontypridd.

And that's exactly what our town deserves.

When Lonely Mountain took over the venue on 23rd May, people travelled from across the UK to experience it. That's the standard we're aiming for. Not just good for Pontypridd.

Good enough to be anywhere.

Because we believe our town deserves the very best.

So whether you're discovering your new favourite artist, singing along with friends or simply enjoying a cocktail while the music fills the room, you're part of something that's helping bring live music back to the valleys.

And we're only just getting started.

Cocktails. Coffee. Music. 🦉💜

🎤🤣 COMEDY NIGHT IS BACK AT TIPSY OWL! 🤣🎤

This Thursday, 11th June, we're welcoming the brilliant Snake Oil Comedy Night back to Pontypridd for another evening of laughs, chaos, and questionable life choices.

Hosted by the legendary Billo Jones, with a fantastic line-up featuring Al Gordon, Anthony Bozzola, Chuck Morris, and Cave Lunch, this is one you won't want to miss.

🕗 Starts at 8PM
📍 Tipsy Owl, Pontypridd
🎟️ FREE ENTRY

Grab a pint, order a cocktail, and settle in for a night of top-class stand-up right here in the heart of Pontypridd.

Tag your comedy-loving mates and let us know who's coming! 👇

There are DJs, and then there’s DJ MurffMurph. 🎧

Every time he drags crates of vinyl through our doors, drops the needle and gets behind the decks, something special happens.

No playlists. No sync button. No copy-and-paste sets.

Just years of collecting records, reading a room and knowing exactly what track needs to come next.

From soulful terrace sessions to dancefloors packed shoulder to shoulder, MurffMurph has become part of the DNA of Tipsy Owl and the atmosphere that keeps people coming back week after week.

If you've spent a great night with us, chances are he's played a part in it.

So next time you walk through our doors and see him setting up behind the decks, consider yourself lucky. Grab a cocktail, find your friends and prepare to spend the next few hours saying, "just one more song."

Trust us. You're going to be dancing the night away.

Cocktails. Coffee. Music. 🦉💜

🍺 Something new is pouring at Tipsy Owl…

We’re incredibly excited to finally be stepping into the world of proper cask ale — and even more excited to be teaming up with the brilliant Mabby Brew Co for our very first pull.

From tomorrow lunchtime, our first cask will officially be flowing 🍻

And from now on, we’ll be featuring a rotating weekly cask selection every Wednesday — giving you something new to discover each week.

First up: Mosaic Mabby ❤️

Fresh. Local. Properly looked after. Proper pint.

As always with cask… once she’s gone, she’s gone.
(Until next week of course 🤣)

Available from tomorrow lunchtime at Tipsy Owl.
