About This Pub

Ah, the Welch Fusilier – it's one of those classic pubs in Wrexham that just feels like a proper local haunt, you know? From what I've gathered from folks' chats online, it's spot on for grabbing a pint at a steal, especially if you're into watching the footie or rugby with a crowd that's well up for it. The place buzzes with energy, particularly during matches, and they've got TVs everywhere so you won't miss a second of the action. Plus, the staff really go the extra mile, even when things get hectic, which is heartwarming to hear. It's got that traditional charm with a pool table and some live entertainment thrown in, making it a fun spot for a laugh with friends. On the flip side, though, it's not without its downsides – no real ale means it's more about the standard brews, and sometimes the atmosphere tips into rowdy territory with a few characters acting up, which could spoil the fun if you're after a quiet one. Oh, and the vaping indoors has put some people off, leaving a bit of a fog that lingers. All in all, if you're up for a straightforward, community-focused pub experience with great value and sport on tap, it's worth a visit, but go in with your eyes open to the occasional chaos – it's all part of the charm, really!

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The drinks are incredibly affordable, making it a brilliant spot for a cheeky pint without breaking the bank.
  • It's got a lively atmosphere, especially when there's live sport on – think multiple TVs showing football, rugby, and more, which really gets everyone buzzing.
  • The staff are absolute stars, working their socks off to keep things running smoothly, even when it's packed.
  • There's a proper traditional feel with a pool table and occasional live entertainment, perfect for a fun night out with mates.
  • It's open every day from 11am to 11pm, so you can pop in whenever the mood strikes for a relaxed catch-up.
Cons
  • No real ale on offer, which might disappoint if you're after something more crafty – Guinness is fine, but it's a bit basic.
  • The crowd can get a tad rowdy at times, with some characters causing a stir, like messing about at the pool table, which isn't always everyone's cup of tea.
  • Service can feel stretched when it's busy, as the team might be understaffed, leading to a bit of a wait.
  • There's often vaping going on inside, which can leave the air a bit hazy and might bother you if you're sensitive to it.
  • It's more suited to those who enjoy a no-nonsense, down-to-earth vibe, so if you're after something fancy, it might not hit the mark.

Old haunt on the Wrexham pub circuit run by craft union. Was busy with after work early afternoon crowd on a Monday when I popped in. Sone funny characters in there. No real ale but Guinness was fine. Pool table. 🎱

Not a town centre drinker usually but in town for the match like thousands without a ticket. What an atmosphere! Staff worked their socks off to serve everyone as quickly as they could. Didn't matter as there is a TV behind the bar in fact there's a TV everywhere! Let's hope for many more nights and afternoons like this.

A nice enough pub but only 2 members of staff there, so we're somewhat overworked. A couple of idiots in there which didn't help and the whole place was full of vaping 'smoke' from numerous vapers who didn't seem to give a damn about anyone else! Bad chest for 2 days afterwards. A very nice pub but I won't be ack if its busy.

Most probably suited for the 'hardened' clientele due to some 'locals' being stupid at the pool table. Bar staff are brilliant and us 'old people' laughing like hell at the younger generation. Great place though. My pub for years.
