Blue Bell in Cardiff

Guinness seriously needs some work in here. Watched one member of staff pour it in one….please up the quality and standards guys!

Great place for a drink and food, recommend

Called in for a drink. Friendly staff. Nice atmosphere

Nice pub that showed rugby at a sound level that you could still have a conversation without having to shout. Worked great with 2 kids and a dog. Staff was friendly and on top of things

Big up to the woman serving is at 10am Saturday 26th and going the extra mile for us

Excellent pub Came here on a Sunday delicious roast with Yorkshire Puddings!

Great olde worlde pub, with good ambience

Staff were a bit silly. Managed to tip all my gravy off the plate and knocked over the condiment bowl ( was all packet sauces) Atmosphere was brill as h They had a band playing in the corner. If we go again I think I'd have the beef dinner not the chicken

This has got be 1 of the best pubs in town on a Sunday afternoon. I was there last weekend and there were 4 lads jamming with a banjo, double bass, guitar and a violin. Just mucking about. Great beera on tap, screens for sport (OK not for everyone but...) and people were tucking into Sunday roasts. Perfection!

Anna is a superstar, and the rarebit is amazing

Shared a Blue Bell Ale Battered Fish and Chips meal between my wife and I. Really hit the spot … would certainly again but it’s a long way to drive 😀

Just left here after a couple of hours, few beers and food, service fantastic, food absolutely lovely, staff excellent

Lovely pub and a great pub menu, great price for a steak dinner. We ordered food for 9 people, and it all came out at the same time and piping hot. The service was great

We sampled 3 different flavourful Welsh dishes. Great Vibes. Pleasant staff.

Great selection of pub food, excellent happy hour offers on beer and wine between 5 and 7. Excellent value for centre of Cardiff

A traditional pub by the castle. Their own bitter is excellent.

Nice atmosphere and good companion..

Went to the bluebell inn pub in Cardiff high street with friends on Sunday 8/9/24 ….it was booked for 16 to 18 people at least a month before … booking was given to the Manager for Sunday lunch on this day … however, the Manager did not pass the information onto the rest of his staff… hence, when we arrive at 1pm our allotted time we were not only told that the staff did not have our pre orders … these were given to the Manager when booking ! but the staff also did not know anything about the booking ! Suffice to say the 2 members of staff who were there worked hard to not only set the room up but serve our lunch albeit in stages …I am not sure if I would go here again, but I also hope the Manager will give the relevant members of staff who were very helpful that afternoon a good bonus !

Great little pub, the right side is great, the left side is obviously new and has less experienced bar staff. Can't pour a cider. Cider is not supposed to have a head and whilst most places can't help it, this was over the top.

Excellent pub. Thursday evening a bit quiet but service was excellent. Food tasty and well priced. Pub was spotless - cleanest toilets seen in a while. Recommended.

Proper pub, beautiful bar and great selection of beers. Stopped after the Cardiff 10K and had a free beer!

Bit disappointed with the pub as it seemed a little full and lifeless.

Back in UK for a month. Really missed the atmosphere of a great little welsh pub. Excellent food and beer. Great service

Nice to relax facing the castle

Fish and chips was amazing, omg so good staff was every friendly would definitely recommend this place to anyone coming to Cardiff.

A great place for traditional ales and good food. Friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere

Female members of staff very rude food was cool

Female behind bar did not show much interest to customers. Waited a long time for food order. Asked how long order would be and was told it was ready. On receiving the food it was cold, pointed this out to staff got a refund and left.

Love this place, always pop in when we are in Cardiff, friendly staff and good vibes

Great selection of beers and great customer service, nice little pub 🍻

We went as a family for dinner but the food was not to our liking, little flavor and small quantities. We were also disappointed with the service as there was only one person behind the bar to serve us.

Lovely old-fashioned pub, fresh ingredients and local products! The staff is lovely and the bar and toilets are nice and clean! Great prices for great food!

Great staff, very friendly. Food was really good. Gluten Free options.

Lovely old feel in this proper pub

Delicious rump steak closed to the castle and one of the cheapest I have eaten in UK (14£). I recommend 👌

Had a quick drink here before concert great staff and service 👌

Couple before the cricket tidy pint

Came in just for a drink. Some of the seating was broken. Where we sat, we could smell the toilets, especially the mens. Not sure about food as didn't eat here.

Called in Saturday night for a gin and giggles with friends. Typical old mans pup in the centre of Cardiff. Terrible experiance with "Mo" on the door who apoun realising we were inside the venue sent unsolicited messages and pictures to my friend via GRINDR. Made to feel very uncomfortable after that so left.

Definitely a pub of two halves. There's the original old Blue bell, and then there's the converted shop next door which is ok but not really the Blue bell.

It's a very crowded location to sit and drink beer in the evening. You won't get bored

A pint before going to the castle all very good and easily served

Went for Sunday lunch here in February 2023. Was a little quiet but you , probably, would expect this on a Sunday. The food was great for the price and the bar staff were amazing 😁😁😁.

Great traditional pub right in the city

Excellent fish and chips, and Sunday roasts. Chunky chips, fluffy and crispy.

Great pub in the centre of Cardiff ,the food is excellent the pub is beautiful inside and has a lovely atmosphere

Visited at the end of lunch time and it was very quiet, so I'm not scoring the atmosphere. The bar person was good and nice, and the food was good value. (The chips are weird - shaped like a gutter and somewhere between a chip and a crisp.)

Lovely old style pub. Great wine. Friendly staff.

Sat outside people watching, then in for a meal. Very nice food. The blonde bar lady dealing with pints and food orders was very efficient indeed.

Probably better on a match day in terms of atmosphere. Very quiet when we arrived. Good selection of beers and ales though

Cool bar 👍👍👍 Good Hinas beer 👍🍻 Pleasant atmosphere and service 💃💃💃

Stopped off for a quick pint after work midweek. Easy access from the street and plenty of empty tables for midweek at that time of day. Plenty of choice of drinks. Food available up to a certain time with usual pub grub choices. I didn't eat.

Lovely little pub and has an outside area at the front if it's a nice day!

Favourite place to start in Cardiff always polite and friendly

Great pub in thr centre of Cardiff. Great to see business is good with the expansion into next door! Well done

They do a nice lunch here - try the Fish & Chips.

Great pub for food and if your looking for something a little quieter in the afternoon

Love the blue bell. One of my favourite bars in Cardiff. Very much the old world looks inside. Although they have expanded into the space next door so this is a bit more contemporary, it still has the great vib.

Went in on the way back to the hotel.we had two half's of bitter cost £5.20. Beer not very good.was a better pub before the name change.

Top pub. Butty Bach on tap and Barti Rum behind the bar. What's not to like!?

Great location! Close to the castle. Great atmosphere before football game with Polish supporters! Good beer and friendly staff!

Extremely delicious food/vegan wellington Sunday roast, despite slow service and “only one chef” available. Loved it tho.

We were looking for a good spot to get a drink before the Wales football match in Cardiff and saw a good amount of fans in there. We stopped for a drink and carried on our way to watch the game elsewhere. It had a decent atmosphere and places to sit even though it was busy. The service was fine and wasn’t anything atypical.

The food lacked flavor, and even the Sunday Roast was a little cold, the mash potatoes lacked flavor as well, the only thing we really liked was The Welsh Cawl was good, with taste. The environment was nice, and the sevice was really nice

Great atmosphere and super friendly service. A good address in Cardiff

Good food good beer town pub prices not to expensive

Best vegan Sunday roast in Cardiff, Full of flavour and cooked to perfection, One can never have enough of the blue moon at the blue bell 🔔 Always welcoming! Thank you!

A great place for brunch! Tasty, great service and reasonable price too. Friendly bar staff and overall a lovely time spent. Will return :-)

Formerly a Brains pub. Has lost some character

Perfect place when it was called the got Major now it's gotten a lot worse. I'm sorry

Very busy . As it was match day Wales V France. Just had a few beers, fairly priced.

Fabulous Sunday lunch and pudding with a nutty Bach thank you so much

Lovely little pub can watch the sport friendly staff

Nice atmosphere. Really old pub. Lovely and clean. Bar staff really friendly x

Great pub right by the castle, great seating indoors and out.

Friendly staff. Great oldy worldly pub. Food good. Very knowledgeable about area. Definitely recommend a++×

Fab old pub, lots of seating, enjoyed our visit

Always been a great visit here, over 30 years and different brand changes too. Great service and drinks available.

Very busy on match day but staff worked hard to serve everyone quickly

Cracking pre-game drinks in here. Lovely atmosphere and a nice pint.

Great city centre pub - well worth a visit.

Staff don't give a damn, always on there phones

Lovely helpful staff. The food was delicious.

A lovely, old fashioned style pub, with a good selection of lagers, beers and ciders. Didn't have food there, so cannot comment. The only negative was the young man serving, he ignored us and served others who were there after us. Thank goodness for the young lady who then attended to us. Only stayed for one round, and moved on.

Great traditional pub. Did not have food so cannot rate that.

Three Glamorgan Brewery ales were sunk and all were good, unusually it was the house beer that was best. This is a totally reliable city centre pub and certainly came up trumps today when quite a few hostelries were closed over the Christmas period. And thanks to the staff for putting the darts on TV 👍

Good selection of real ales, I had the Jeminers Pitchfork and fish finger sandwich, both very nice. Smallish pub, so can be busy.

Still a proper pub. Lovely atmosphere. Great beer. Lovely staff.

Great Sunday Roast! Good drinks, the wait staff was friendly!

Not a huge pub so prepare to hover for a table. Lovely atmosphere and great staff. All four of us ordered different meals which were all good and tasty. I had the fish & chips and the batter was fantastic. Food orders end at 8.00

Nice pub, but the selection of beers is less than the last time I visited Caerdydd ( over a year ago)

An excellent real ale pub serving freshly-cooked food to order using locally-sourced ingredients as well as superb craft beers including their own ale which shares the pub's name.

We didn't have any food though the menu looks really good. Just came in with my boyfriend and the barmaid was really nice and directed us to a good Chinese! Nice old school pub! Thanks guys :) love bristol x

A pretty decent pub with a nice atmosphere. However the Sunday roast was the worst we have ever had. Watery gravy, the potatoes weren’t crispy and were cold. One of our plates had parsnips the other had leeks. Staff were very apologetic.

Perfect city centre pub with great beers and lovely pub grub

Excellent beer and very friendly staff.

Nice beer. Great service. Happy staff.

Great atmosphere and a refreshing change from all the chain pubs pumping out thumping music, had a great time catching up with friends and being able to hold a conversation. Totally owns a 5 star rating

Very relaxed, friendly staff. Good atmosphere
