Great food, from what I remember

Traditional pub with stained glass windows. Friendly barmaid, good live sport coverage

Good pub great prices toilet was not good needs a revamp

Dog friendly, lively friendly atmosphere, drink prices decent but toilets are still tragic

Went to the clive with my partner to watch the rugby. Absolutely brilliant place to go, Michelle was amazing, fantastic with an excellent service, has got great atmosphere here. We finished the night, enjoying the disco absolute pleasure to be at a great place with great people. Will be back.

What a great night we had... made to feel very welcome by the staff. Very good selection of gins... later on they had a disco which every age group including my 55 year old self got up and danced ... Will definitely be coming back

Great atmosphere great staff Michelle was amazing great prices . Disco was good and danced all night Will be going back very soon never laughed so much . Thank you Michelle for the laughes

Never got inside told to wait outside till room was available, through window there was clearly plenty of room for 2 men, 1of who was in his 70s 🤐

The public house is excellently decorated and comfortable, but and one big but is the hygiene of the toilets which could easily be condemned

Had a fantastic night, we were out for a friends birthday. The pub offers 2 for one on some beers and cocktails, full advantage was taken. Staff were amazing, special thanks to Danielle Queen of the cocktails, she kept us all topped up, always had a smile. Will def go back.. Cheers guys..

Great venue. Always thought it was an old man's pub.. it was banging...lots of Xmas parties in there

I am a regular at the Clive Arms. The staff are amazing, fantastic service. Always live sport on all TVs. Well worth a visit. The Manager is always hands on and friendly. Nothing is too much trouble.

Lovely friendly pub to visit. Drinks reasonable compared to others in the area. Good service from very attentive staff. All sport covered on the big screens.

Lovely pub, great landlord! Fellow English man

Great pint of Guiness served here. Friendly staff. Decent atmosphere.

Only had a quick pint , quite a nice place , friendly staff and friendly locals and atmosphere

There were quite a few of us, my husband's choir seranata had a concert at a church in Canton on the Friday night & we converged at " The Clive pub" afterwards. One of the staff helped us put 3 tables together, & we spent the rest of the evening there. Very comfortable, & enjoyable. Friendly pub.

Great atmosphere, great pints, lovely staff, best pub around.

Fantastic staff friendly lovely atmosphere very welcoming all round 💯😁

Lovely pub, great atmosphere, bar staff friendly and very helpful. Will be calling in again next time we are in Cardiff.

Fab eve with fab entertainment, deffo b back

I come here every day before the school run soft drinks only ha! amazing customer service friendly staff decently priced drinks

We walked in to a very noisy pub and one of the bouncers chucked a bloke out. Twenty minutes later there was fighting outside the pub between a group of women. Also loads of underage drinking there. It felt like a youth club for the dysfunctional with a few old hags as entertainment. I wouldn't be surprised if there were lots of drugs there too, the punters looked thst sort. I'll never go there again for sure!

Only popped in for a quick drink, but it's lovely and busy

What a Fantastic pub. Excellent staff and a really good atmosphere. Landlady is fantastic and one of the friendliest people I have met.

Brilliant service and the staff are very friendly

Comfortable surroundings, first class service, polite attentive staff.

Wow what a difference a good manager makes in such a short amount of real credit to them! Such a massive improvement atmosphere is so much better!

Great pub great atmosphere the manager sarah was so helpful. Cant wait to visit again

Always a good vibe polite staff great on weekends

Fantastic service, great atmosphere

What a lovely place and lovely new manager, looking forward to what she brings to the pub, so much better already!!! Great beers, well kept and good range

I've been hearing good reviews about this pub since it's been under new management. I haven't met with the new landlady yet. Pub staff always friendly, amazing atmosphere, may need a few touches up here & there especially the toilets. I can't review about the live music but I heard it has had some amazing DJs. Overall a great place to visit, highly recommended

Great atmosphere with large beer garden to the side and back of pub. Good mix of ages drink there. They could however utilise the top bar to serve in busier periods as there is congestion at the bottom bar making passing a little awkward. Gents toilets still in poor condition and the double door for the toilet wedged open which means people sitting opposite at tables can see the back of you using the urinals. Would recommend overall. Card payments and contactless accepted.

Came here last month as I haven't been in a while as I felt it was quite rough and rowdy when I've previously visited but now it appears to be under new management by a lovely Lady. It was nice to see the place having security patrolling the pub and beer garden and it didn't reek of weed where punters were freely smoking it and the previous landlord not doing anything about it. The bar stafff were friendly and working hard. Would like to return again on our next night out.

Lovely welcoming atmosphere here. Its totally transformed since the new Landlady took over. This used to be really troubled pub with fights and drugs. The new Landlady has cleaned it right up. Friendly staff, fantastic standards, well done all

Fantastic atomosphere landlady and staff SO SO friendly

New landlady was very friendly, fabulous atmosphere, staff were kind and approachable. Cracking assortments of gin, vodka and rums 😁

they have employed a weak new manager who is led by her staff. 20 years drinking there and will now not step in there while the current staff are employed. Shame I can’t put minus. Terrible attitude.

Excellent atmosphere and friendly people

4 stars for friendly staff not sure if they sell food at all or not just today ? I think it's the 1st pub I've been to that don't have high chairs crazy so not so family friendly in that respect Thank you fir the reply. I've been here in the past . Its a noce pub hence why we came there today. Thank you once again . Ps the food thing is understandable Thank you

Best pub I'm canton got darts and pool food cheep beers live music would highly recommend for any age

Very lively and exciting atmosphere. Plenty of room for seating and dancing. Good pricing.

Nice pub and good beer garden out the back

Been here a few times and always get a good pint. The staff are really friendly, the beers tasty and not too expensive either! Got an awesome beer garden out there back too 👍🏻

Staff very friendly, clean and inviting pub. Excellent choice on drinks at reasonable prices. Fantastic beer garden, pool table and two dartboards. It is a dog friendly pub which is sometimes difficult to find.

Visited the pub recently, staff were brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely return and bring more friends!

Great atmosphere out with family and friends

Good staff good prices cheaper in the week

Great pub and cheapest Carling at the moment with the 10% off on match days

Excellent night last night brilliant I'm giving 4 stars would have had 5 if they had food great disco great karaoke good atmosphere

Great atmosphere and good music

Always busy but not a place I go to regularly.

We have used this pub for over many years as it had a great atmosphere and you would always bump into someone you would know. We visited on Saturday 19/02/22 in the evening there was a fair amount of customers in which was great to see. The staff are friendly and we’re ensuring customers were getting served quickly which was really good. The Guinness was not the best it had a sharp taste to it. Then they had a disco type thing going on which was so LOUD a lot of people started to leave I asked if this could be turned down slightly and the reply from the barmaid was “ I wish it could be love but we been told no” I am sure it was above the health and safety noise levels no one could hear themselves speak what a shame. The gents toilets were dirty and one of the cubicle doors was hanging of its frame. The standards sadly have slipped quite a bit since our last visit. I marked this three stars mainly for the noise level of the music the quality of the Guinness and the standard of the gents toilet. The staff are great this place just needs a tweak to get it right.

I come round frequently to watch the football as I live around the corner & am always made to feel welcome by Tim & the team great friendly service & also feel safe due the covid protocols they have in place. Highly recommend the pub to anyone.

We were in the Clive for a family get together on Saturday 8th Jan. The staff are absolutely amazing. Service is so quick, nothing is any trouble. The pub is spotless and the beer is of top quality. We would highly recommend this public house to family and friends. You won’t find many places that the staff give you such a warm welcome and are so friendly. Anne & Gerry

5 stars.. staff was very friendly with a warm welcome.very good time with friends for birthday celebrations...

Taberna espectacular. Buen servicio y una buena terraza.

Classic pub friendly staff, descent prices on drinks The atmosphere is amazing, it’s a nice place to have a good laugh with friends

Perfect place to come for live music! Had a great evening and beers were reasonably priced too, we will be back

Great pub with a lovely garden out the back! Can’t wait until they start their live music again I will be back

Excellent larger and also dog friendly 🐕

Came here to watch the rugby with friends. Lovely bar area and service from the staff first class. Would recommend for drinks and would definitely go back for the service.

Walked past and decided to pop in, 4 hours later we left very happy, staff were friendly and drinks weren’t too expensive

Excellent beer excellent service very nice crowd 👌👍

Nice classic proper local, one of its few left, been going for years, good prices, good staff (not taya)(only joking) (not really)

Classic pub, lovely atmosphere and they cater to many sports which is great on different match days. Definitely recommend

Upon entering my details were taken and I was taken to a seat. My order was taken and brought over, the staff were very friendly and accommodating. The pub itself was immaculately clean and light and airy. Will I be going back? Absolutely

Fantastic staff friendly HARD WORKING a very very pleasant pub to be in. well done all .

Great place to come and watch the rugby! Few drinks with friends and stayed all night! Staff were great

Came in as a walk-in and was pleased that they had spaces and were very accommodating. The prices were ideal. Atmosphere was amazing and the garden is great. Dog friendly which is always nice. Would recommend to anyone.

Best place to go for a pint with friends and to watch the football! Garden is lovely too with a outdoor tv

Popped in with the wife after hearing about the place from a friend and we’re glad we did. Decent pint and a really nice beer garden out the back. Will definitely be coming back.

I loved this house by holly road by gorse place Fairweter by next to my house

Poor covid controls, sign advising to wait in small foyer, not acknowledged, so entered premises through double doors after a reasonable wait. A disinterested person asked if i had made a booking, i said no, i was just passing and i wanted a pint in the beer garden. No track and trace in evidence. I was not asked for id, or any details whatsoever. I asked if i could pay by card and was directed to the bar where i paid, but my drink was delivered to my table on a tray. Folks who were obviously regular customers and knew staff by name, stood right behind me and barged past, no real hand sanitiser points, no 2 metre queue management, i quickly finished my drink and left

First time in since the firebreak.Great atmosphere. Best pint in Canton.

Popped in for my first post lockdown pint on Monday. The San Miguel was absolutely delicious. I will be back.

Popped in after Cardiff city match, was busy which was to be expected. Staff seemed more interested in serving the regulars, rather than new visitors. Needless to say I wont be popping in again.

Plenty of TVs playing the match but no decent audio and the roof was leaking right onto our seating area, bar service wasn't great either

Very nice welcoming and cheap pub.

Called in to watch wales football as heard old manager had left No beer & only one tv working Not a good start

Plenty of tv's , pool tables etc. but the beer is expensive £3-45 for a pint of strongbow is dearer than the city centre .

Staff are friendly beer garden reasonable prices good selection of beer wines & spirits

We booked our daughters christening here, the manager took a cash deposit from us and said he'd organise catering and contact with details. I had to phone Mike every few days as he never once called me back to give me the price. In the end he went on holiday for a week and the staff said nothing booked in diary. We had to make last minute plans due to his lack of communication with us. Fine as a pub but would never hold a function here!

Recently been refurbished. You'd never know. A lick of paint =dearer beer. So not impressed

My dad had a fab party ... bar staff were great and worked hard ...dj was great ..Thank you for all for making my dads night one to remember ... thanks mike

Popped in yesterday great job new pool table toilets a lot better overall very impressed nice pint good service see you soon Tony warner
