Proud to be Welsh

Heart of Carmarthenshire

We're a Llanelli pub through and through. Carmarthenshire runs in our veins — from the Welsh ales we stock to the rugby we watch, the community events we host, and the Welsh language you're always welcome to speak here.

The Stradey Arms takes its name from the legendary Stradey Park, home of Llanelli RFC — one of the most celebrated grounds in Welsh rugby history. We carry that spirit of community pride, determination, and togetherness in everything we do.

Whether you're a Llanelli local or you're visiting West Wales, you'll find a genuine Welsh welcome at our door. Croeso i The Stradey Arms.

Welsh Ales & Spirits

We proudly stock Welsh producers including Felinfoel Brewery, Penderyn Distillery, and rotating guest ales from Welsh craft brewers.

Rugby Screenings

Wales home and away. Six Nations, Autumn Internationals, Premiership Rugby — we show it all. Come in your red and join the party.

Community Hub

We host charity events, community fundraisers, and local celebrations throughout the year. The Stradey Arms belongs to Llanelli.

Welsh Welcome

Cymraeg? No problem. Our Welsh-speaking staff are happy to chat in the language of Wales. Mae croeso i siarad Cymraeg yma.

What People Say

Words from Our Regulars

Best karaoke night in Llanelli, hands down. The atmosphere is electric every Friday and the staff couldn't be more welcoming. Been coming here for years and it never disappoints.

Siân W.
Llanelli local

Stopped in while visiting West Wales and what a find. The Double Dragon was perfectly kept, the food was brilliant, and the barman knew his stuff when I asked about cocktails. Will definitely be back.

Tom B.
Visiting from Bristol

We held my daughter's 21st here and it was absolutely perfect. The staff went above and beyond to make it special. The drinks were flowing, the music was great, and everyone had an incredible time. Thank you, Stradey Arms!

Carol M.
Private function host

The Stradey Arms is our local and it's genuinely one of the best pubs I've ever been in. Great choice of beers, fair prices, and an atmosphere that you just can't manufacture. Real community pub energy.

Gareth & Linda H.
Llanelli regulars

Watched the Six Nations here last year and it was an experience I won't forget. Packed to the rafters, the whole place singing along. There's nowhere better to watch Wales play rugby than The Stradey Arms.

Rhodri D.
Rugby season ticket holder

Their cocktail menu is seriously impressive for a pub. The Stradey Sling is absolutely gorgeous — I've ordered it three visits in a row. Bar staff are chatty and clearly passionate about what they serve.
