I want a proper boozer. Good pint, selection of bar snacks, juke box, dart board, pool table, skittles, beer garden, fruit machine, occasional live bands, pub quiz and a bar maid straight out of a Carry on film.
Does it exist?
No,they've all shut down, and reopened to cater for lager wankers
Re: The best pub in Cardiff?
The butchers in Llandaff is good - no pool table though

Not Brains anymore.
One of the Borley's own it I believe, full of sports (mainly City) memorabilia.

Re: The best pub in Cardiff?
Always loved The Albany in Roath, and The Royal Exchange in Llandaff North. Both Brains pubs which I find to be the best in these parts, but always guest ales on. The Royal Exchange in particular, pours a good pint of whatever they have as they are old school with regards to cellar / barrel / pipe maintenance.

None of us is perfect.
Re: The best pub in Cardiff?
The best pub, depends on the person using it and what they are after.
I travel to Canton, for the best homely pub, which is THE CANTON.
It's like your nanna's front room, but it is full of personalities and a great game of Don (cards), on a Sunday.
Music every Sunday, darts and pool and a robbing barsteward of a landlord :hehe: makes it one of the last local pubs in Cardiff.
Won't suit a lot of people though.

Used to spend many an hour in there when I lived in Pontprennau. It was weird then too! Think the black guy who once ran Rumpoles had it then? Could be completely making that up mind.

Unfortunately this is the closest pub to where I live & I have to agree with you
Re: The best pub in Cardiff?
The Borough and The Queens Vaults are the best pubs in the city centre. The best pub I've ever been in was The Dusty Forge in Ely, sadly closed in the early nineties and is now a community centre .
