The Cambrian Tap in Cardiff

Great atmosphere friendly staff. Great bar service

Popped in on a damp Tuesday night, cracking venue, I love the booths and wood etc. Had the Brains, Bitter and SA bitter, fabulous. All tastes catered from Carling to Asahi and a good selection of spirts. Would recommend if your visiting Cardiff. If you like lager, drink the bayside, crisp and refreshing. Didn't have the food so no review

Great pub, great service, brilliant bar staff. Big group of us from Liverpool visited Cardiff for the weekend, we made more than one visit to The Cambrian Tap and were made more than welcome each time.

Do not be deceived by the exterior of the building. The staff welcome you with open arms. Unfortunately no food served there. Yet they are more than happy to point you up the road to there competitors for food. Was there this afternoon then back this evening. Debbie the bar staff was an absolute delight. I recommend this establishment wholeheartedly. J.

Great music,range of drinks and atmosphere.

Great karaoke on Friday and Saturday nights.

I love this pub, don't know why, just do.

Great pub with karaoke nights! Somewhere to store costs would be a good addition.

We showed up during the Six Nations match. Service was outstanding. As tourists we didn't know the local beers. Bartender took the time to describe them and let me taste. Patrons were incredibly friendly and engaging. A very inclusive pub.

Great atmosphere every time I have had a drink in this pub, always doing deals on bottles. Fab little pub.

Good pub. Good pint. Well.kept.

Great pint of Brains Bitter, well kept and served, fab value also.

Disappointed with the range of ales, but the SA wasn't bad

Amazing old traditional pub, new manager doing a great job . great selection of drinks available for all ages and tastes, probably the best Guinness in Cardiff, close to the stadium great day out for the rugby. Well done to all the staff

Not sure what happened to this place. Not sure why they've got 7 different (mostly bad) lagers on tap?

Great place to watch the rugby as great atmosphere. Karaoke 🎤 was amazing, Defo be back

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and great place to watch the rugby

Super pub, limited opening hours, but worth the wait. 3 ales on the bar, and a pleasing atmosphere.

Nice atmosphere and quick friendly service

A decent spot nearby to Central station which has a simple range of drinks at affordable prices. I can definitely g et bused to a pint for £4.05! The pub itself is fairly small and has a bit of seating outside too. I liked the booths inside in particular. Definitely worth stopping off if you are heading to the station or for a first drop off when arriving.

Iat was quite there, staff are friendly

I cannot believe how one member of staff is being abused. She is left on her own to serve about 30 people. The other 'white' people who were serving till this lovely lady came on shift dispersed. Disgusting beyond belief. Abuse of staff.

Seems to be under new owner ship, local couple so know more about their clientele and their needs. Also they’re very friendly. Bar staff are also very good especially the lady whose serves in the afternoon. Beer is well kept and reasonably priced for town. Clientele are friendly and varied. If I have to make one minor niggle is that it doesn’t need music ! It stands in its own as a talkers pub.

Great service good selection of beers and other drinks

Please note they don't sell Taps

Awesome beer and food, would definitely recommend this place. Good service, nice decor and friendly staff.

Good selection of ales and lagers.

Had a couple of drinks midweek on an evening. Nice setting with a good range of drinks, plenty of beers on draught. Got very busy later on with a couple of pub crawls and hen party, only one bar staff but coped well.

10/10 service from Kay behind the bar. Would recommend this place to anyone whose looking for a good time

Kay was amazing! Really took care of us and made our night!! Xx

Nice little bar near the Brewery Quarter. Good service and nice atmosphere. No food is served though.

Nice pint of brains bitter,first of many

Excellent excellent pub if you like great beer

Excellent pub with excellent atmosphere. Really loved their selection of beers. Would definitely go back.

Was in Cardiff for my first ever rugby match and visited The Cambrian - what an experience! Spent Friday night in the pub, the staff were amazing and there was a great atmosphere. So, we made our way to the pub again after the rugby on the Saturday night and had an even better evening and the bar staff even remembered us and what we'd been drinking from the night before. 100% recommend this place for anyone visiting Cardiff. You won't be disappointed. Thank you Claire and Brian for keeping a great pub and looking after us during our visit. See you again very soon

What an amazing bar, great atmosphere with some great beers. Would recommend to anyone can't wait to go back

One of the best pubs I've ever been to. The staff are so friendly and can't do enough for you. The atmosphere is amazing. They are very knowledgeable about the area.

What a great place to start and finish with a good game of rugby in between... lovely staff, great choice of beverages. Would totally recommend only place for me in Cardiff to be for a drink and good times....

Atmosphere was great, I'm not that keen on Brains beer though.

Disgusting bar, they don’t treat you very humane, would strongly advise against visiting here.

Old charming pub in the city centre of Cardiff, great karaoke on Thursday night, friendly staff and great deals on beers. A must visit when next in Cardiff.

Fantastic little pub with great tap selection 👍

3 for £9.50 shots??? AND NO PUB QUIZ? Not having this 😡😡😡

Segunda vez en 20 años.... ¿Repitire?

Nice atmosphere and location, only negative was a very very sticky table and lots of glasses which weren't cleared.

Changed so much since covid. Gone is the vast beer selection, in is the karaoke with its volume at max so you can't talk to the person next to you.

Nice pub, I enjoyed with a few mates.

Comfortable. Good choice of beers, lagers and ciders.Knowledgeable staff. Get a flight of 3 third pints.

Great pint of Brains Dark. Shame nobody else in the pub. Sign of the times sadly.

Lovely guiness. Pleasant staff.

Pleasant cosy pub. Seriously understaffed for a busy Friday night

Never been in just walked past but looked pretty busy

Great staff and reasonably priced drinks

Great place for Brains ales on handpump, staff excellent including dealing with Friday night clients which can be challenging

Nice traditional style pub with great selection of beers and ciders. Friendly staff.

Nice little bar with beers and cocktails at a very decent price

Nice pub with a good selection of Brain's beers

Went to the tap on a Thursday night what an excellent night Dj was amazing nothing was any trouble bar staff superb will defiantly be back most professional karaoke in cardiff town and I’ve been to them all

Visited on a hot night.What a lovely pub, good selection of beers and ciders.Good selection of gins.Clean toilets ,outdoor seating , great atmosphere.Will definitely visit in my next visit to Cardiff.

Good service and nice place to go

SA vs Wales 29-32 nice pub good crack

Nice old world pub prices not to bad although don't know measurements of martini its 50ml not 25ml spirit measurement

Visited after a concert in the stadium. Busy but didn't wait long to be served. Small pub very nice.

Lovely pub in the heart of Cardiff. Good selection of beers on tap and friendly staff.

Really enjoyed this place. We ended up here on a concert day because everywhere else was so busy but to be honest we couldn't have been happier. Grabbed a spot in the sun outside and watched the throngs of people go by. Good choice of well served beers, decent toilets and the staff were friendly too

Had great fun during the karaoke night. Good crowd and nice tunes. Will definitely stop by on my next visit to Cardiff

Great selection of drinks. Lovely atmosphere

A great little pub for Ale and Cider drinkers, they do have larger but I believe there are only one or two choices. Small and quirky, a “proper pub” rather than the soulless bars that surround.

People were friendly, drink prices were lower the whetherspoons and lovely atmosphere

Decent beer and wine - good prices. A bit scruffy inside, very basic pub.

Google indicates that this place serves good pub food, but there is no food service at all.

Awesome pub. Known for great independent drinks and huge variety of choice

2019: Great tap bar, fantastic range of craft beers from around the country. Small old Victorian bar which has been brought up to date. Pies and mash go great with the beer!! 5 stars 2022: Gone is the craft beer and pies, now just a boozer - still decent though. Probably been affected by pandemic, then Marston's takeover and then Carlsberg. Now 3 stars

Good beer, kind service and fragrant toilets! 😉

Kay is a LEGEND, and the rest of the staff are happy and friendly!

Friendly pub with a good range of Brains traditional ales

Went to this pub for the six nations 18 March. What a great atmosphere and friendly staff made us welcome and a great day.

Nice lunchtime pint in a characterful pub.

Place looked nice, didn't buy anything though

Very nice pub had a week off work so decided to go to Cardiff for the day popped in for a quick pint and ended up talking to a stranger about Monty Python

A lovely place, attention to detail and fast service

Was not allowed in by the bouncer tonight, as a single woman/person when I came to see the singer. Pub was almost empty. Very disappointed and don’t understand as the landlord here invited me down last week but couldn’t make it. Seems like discrimination against single women as there were definitely single men in there. NOT GOOD VIBE!!

Friendly service, great atmosphere 😊
