The old transport club was in Millicent Street.

Pubs … some might enjoy Pub Life that records and remembers over 150 Rhondda pubs and workingman’s clubs, many of which are unfortunately no more ..

The only "older" pubs left are the Packet and Eli Jenkins plus the old ship and pilot which I believe is more of a nightclub.
The "local" is a thing of the past, it's all about cram 'em in, make what you can and get 'em out.
eli jenkins wasnt one of the old pubs

Depends how far back you want to go.
I know what you mean poc but even though it's situated in the Bay I wouldn't package it with the Mermaid Quay pubs as it is a building that has been there for dinkeys years.
Re: Lifeboat Tavern, Little Frederick St.
Yes the Comrades was in Paradise place sorry, the nearest I can think of near the Lifeboat was the ex-servicemens club in Frederick Street which later went to Penarth road I think.
