Great selection of real ales and other fine drinks. Cosy and atmospheric little pub.

Misogynist “Landlord” - dictates who he lets in due to image , all based on appearance, which is comical due to there only being 3 other people inside. Wouldn’t recommend if you’re female, young and not willing to conform. Would rate lower than a one if possible. Female barmaid nice though :) x

A real, Real Ale place with great staff and beers. Very cosy and welcoming. A place to meet and chat or enjoy a beer on your own without a loud crowd. There are plenty other places for that. I visited a couple of times during a brief visit to Cardiff. I'd love to return.

Good selection of beers and a perfect pint of Guinness. I do have to agree with another review though the place does smell a bit.

Brilliant. Andy and Dave are the best hosts I've met. They don't stand any nonsense, and they keep excellent beer. Thoroughly recommended. Usually 5 real ales on and a really friendly atmosphere. Quiet times are Sunday evenings and Monday evenings. No change since my last report. It's just as good if not better! February 2024. Usually closed on rugby days. No food served despite what google thinks. Gradual improvements in seating arrangements happen from time to time, the latest being the 1950's style bench seat against the rear side wall as seen in 1950's ice cream parlours. There is also a good range of low or no alcohol ale in bottles, as I found out recently when I was on course of antibiotics.

Absolutely outstanding pint of Guinness and a great little pub tucked away just off Windsor Place. Definitely worth seeking out if you're a fan of the black stuff

Not my usual place, it was clean but had a strange smell. Always wanted to give it a try. Had a jazz band that night. Not my thing but might be yours if you're looking for a cozy eclectic setting hidden in a side street in the city centre!

When on a summer's evening you can hear jazz or Spanish folk music emanating from the windows upstairs, how could you not come in and have a pint or three? Even year round, at least a couple days out of the week, there is some live music event upstairs. Comedy shows happen about once a month as well. The seating outside is great for people watching and it's nice and cozy inside too. Great selection of beers ales and ciders, good variety of packaged snacks, friendly bar service, and the place is always kept clean and tidy. The owners really know what they're doing. To me it's the best pub to go to in Cardiff city centre.

If you want quiet and quirky, this is the place. Not been updated. I suspect for many years, but no music, just people chatting away. A quiet gem away from the noise and drama of Cardiff.

What a great find!! I went here on Monday 29 Jan for a comedy night, it has a great space on the first floor for gigs and comedy nights. The selection of beers and ciders was excellent! However the shining light of this pub was the range of snacks available!! I genuinely can't remember the last time I had scampi fries, bacon fries and pork scratchings it was fantastic! This place is a must visit for the atmosphere selection of drinks and of course the snacks!!!!

Great little local-style pub but in the centre of Cardiff City. Good range of lagers and beers, but the best bit is they host a comedy night upstairs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Check it out

A proper pub! With live jazz on Tuesdays and Wednesdays most weeks. That and real ale at student prices, no excuse not to visit. They are a pub so they don't serve food. Loads of other events happen here like Galician evenings once a month plus a couple of comedy club evenings in a month and a book writers club too. There is also a folk club style jam session on a Sunday evening for free. A place to meet up with friends, too. No food served here, despite other comments on Google suggesting there maybe, also evidenced by people turning up instead of the restaurant next door! Plenty of snacks here though!

A great time capsule of a traditional pub that has somehow survived in Cardiff city centre. Excellent beer, and we enjoyed the fantastic Bluesters playing a jazz oriented set for the regular blues club. Close to Queen Street station and finished in time for the last train home.

Really quaint comfortable pub. Real ales and a good selection of ciders. Very accommodating and friendly owner. Proper old school service, offered a jug or straight glass for a good ale, as it should be. My choices were JD Weatherspoon, opposite or here, i made the right choice by far. Excellent independent, we should support more. Would highly recommend, easy 5 star.

Whilst in Cardiff this place was mentioned to me to try as it has had some good reviews. The place is a romantic paradise. The interior is cosy and the service was excellent. The lady taking orders was polite and so accommodating. We hadn't booked but they managed to squeeze us in so booking is recommended. The menu caters for everyone, from vegans to meat eaters and has plenty of choice. Now for the food, it was top notch, some of the best Thai food I've ever tasted in the UK and was plenty for the three of us. I had the Thai green curry. It was delicious and had plenty of prawns. The rosti was great and the sticky rice was cooked to perfection. Finally I would strongly recommend a visit.

Pedimos una comida para llevar de Calabrisella y su pizza, ¡fueron las peores pizzas que he visto en mi vida! Les llamamos por teléfono y la única respuesta que pudieron dar fue lamentar escuchar sobre su mala experiencia. Claramente no se preocupan por su servicio y menos aún por el producto que venden a los clientes que pagan! ¡Esto es una desgracia y deberían avergonzarse de asociarse con la auténtica comida italiana! ¡No desperdicies el dinero que tanto te costó ganar!

Pre wedding supper. 16 of us. We had pre ordered and it worked like clockwork. The food was superb, but it was the service I will remember the most. All the waiters were hugely engaging, and at times a bit tongue in cheek cheeky, but it was all done in good taste and I think their judgement of personalities was spot on. Would highly recommend a visit if your in the city.
