At the end of June 2005 the 16th Century Queens Head Pub in St. James' Street became Monmouth's first Community Pub. The group of local business people who took the tenancy of the pub over are committed to 'making the Queens a welcoming pub for all', offering a relaxed ambience, excellent live music, a free lending library and excellent North Bengal cuisine available from the Imli restaurant.

The Queens Head was a frequent resting place for Oliver Cromwell and once an attempt was made to assassinate him. The unlucky cavalier was unsuccesful and was chased into the bar and shot.
There have been many reported sightings of ghosts on the premises. We are quoted as being the third most haunted Inn in Wales.
The Queen's has now established itself as one of the premier venues for quality live music in Wales. A spread of jazz, acoustic, celtic and world music throughout the week is interspersed with popular jazz and Irish jam-session nights. Our music page has details of the forthcoming gigs.
