The Roop....affectionately known as The Orchard in years gone by due the rough cider on offer.

Are there ANY pubs left in Splott? At one time, it was like there was one on every corner.

I used to work at the nearby ASW (GKN) steelworks. I always remember calling in the Grosvenor after a 2-10pm shift for a quick pint, before getting the works' bus home. It prompted me to look online to see if it was still there (yeah, I know ) and I came across this article....

The local councillor says there is only one pub in the area, and that article dates back to 2010!

Re: Splott Boozer

The only one I can think of is The Cottage, on Sanquahar Street. There's also the Clifton, and the Royal Oak, but do they count?
Loads have disappeared around that area.

The Tredegar always looked a tad lively when I had the misfortune to wander past…..
