    Popped over to the valleys to go walking up the hills and chanced upon this place somewhere online so thought we'd try our luck. Really good crowd, friendly staff and the Bowie tribute act was really good too. Cheap drinks, well dec’d out venue. Would definitely come again.

    There's been some serious investment in Jac's. It is a 5 Star gig venue! If you haven't been for a while, go back and see the massive beer garden, new bar layout, stage layout and amazing gig calendar!

    Great to have a live music venue on your door step but to have one as good as Jacs is fantastic. Also international rugby days are immense with extremely friendly staff

    Great little venue for a bit of live music. A bit crowded as you would imagine but if you get in early you can find seats, no problems. Decent stage and sound system, good size dance floor. Drinks are as expensive as you would expect, and the same as anywhere these days. Toilets are pretty basic, and by the end of the night, awash, again as you would expect, but then it's a club, not a hotel. There is no good access for disabled unless you're good with sticks, and parking can be a bit interesting, as the club is in the centre of town. On the whole, not bad, would go again to see another band.

    Class live music venue. I'm With Ultimate Madnezz and we had a great time with the locals. Top 3 deffo.

    We have been to Jac's a few times now and always found it a good venue. Parking is just down the road, the staff are good and everybody just has a good time

  • 3/5 N 1 year ago on Google
    The artist was brilliant but eventhought we arrived over an hour early there were no seats available. In the past we have arrived at this time and been waiting outside in the rain or been allowed to wait in the bar area because the venue wasn't open. We have also been told you can't reserve seats but during this event we found out some people had which is very unfair. We ended up standing by a table which could easily have fitted some chairs around it which we requested but told there were none available. We will be weary to book tickets for future artists as standing for the whole event was much too long for some of our party.

    Fabulous night at the recent ELO tribute night, just one suggestion to make, a nice chardonnay on offer would be appreciated instead of only pinot grigio lol. Great venue.

  • 5/5 charlotte B. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing night at Jacs, with some fab local bands playing. Good beer on tap, great atmosphere, all round excellent venue.

  • 5/5 Kiran P. 1 year ago on Google
    Great bands, great choice of ciders and great beer garden. Also really nice pool table. Had some great nights here seeing flash, foo fighters, 4th street, Mike platt, the guy that gets the girl and spirit of boogie to name a few. They have great original rock bands, rock cover bands, established bands and tributes so something for everyone.

    I just love this place. Myself and my friends came to the China Crisis gig. We live in Caerphilly but I'd be in here every weekend if we lived closer. The venue has an amazing, intimate and warm atmosphere. The staff were lovely and friendly and I'd forgotten how wonderful and atmospheric China Crisis are. Amazing band and amazing venue. We desperately need a music venue like this on Caerphilly 💥

  • 5/5 Jeff C. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic music venue right in the heart of the South Wales valleys. There is always good entertainment there with many cover bands and classic artists and groups. Such as China Crisis, The Christians, Bad Manners, Space and The Vapours to name just a few.
