Westgate Pub To Reopen

[life on mars]

Some good news at last, handy halfway drop in for a wee and quick pint to and from City games.

Let's hope the church next door doesn't make too much noise or add to unwelcome drop in''s

However, it now looks set to reopen as a bar again after Cardiff Council's licensing sub committee approved an application for a premises licence at a meeting on Wednesday, January 24. The Grade II listed property which most long-term Cardiff residents know, even if only via the distinctive façade, was built in 1932 by Sir Percy Thomas who is credited with some of south Wales' most recognisable buildings and structures, including The Temple of Peace in Cathays Park and Swansea's Guildhall.

Great news. Kinda important location too to tie Cathedral Road and Cowbridge Road in with the city centre.

Let's hope it gets a better walk in, I'd try sell some cheaper beers / food to take on the silly prices on Cathedral Road. Perhaps some match day offers for City fans quite a few walk past on match day. Very few real pubs left in Canton

St Canna’s and Crafty Devil Brewery on Llandaf Rd too.

Wyndham Crescent has the Romilly and Robin Hood if they’re still open?

And the Lansdowne. Though its been a good few years since I last went.

Despite our stadium being a generic modern bowl, we’ve at least managed to stay within the community that’s built up around the club for the past century or more. Much better than having to go to an out of town industrial/retail estate like Reading, Derby, Huddersfield, Middlesbrough, etc.
