Hi all,
I don't usually go to any pubs pre-match but have some family visiting from Australia at the moment and would like to take them to a pub pre-match for a drink which is within walking distance and was looking for any recommendations?
Cheers!

Canton Cross, The Canton (Llandaff Rd), Ivor Davies and The Admiral Napier. Lots of activity on a match day around that area. The Queen’s Vaults, I s’pose, in town due to it’s proximity to the ‘football bus’.
Is the Butchers back open yet?Quote:

Is it only for CCFC games, or Football?
I recall it was rammed for the egg chasers.
I think they've relaxed that ruleQuote:

The Canton Cross, similar to above, but ales about 30 to 50p dearer, all served in plastic
Napier, get there before Noon, and you can pre-book your drinks at about 80p to £1.20p cheaper, all served in plastic
Ivor Davies, Wetherspoons, nuff said, plastic
Corp, dear
Landsdown , dear
Butchers, can’t remember the last time it was open
Real ale places on Llandaff road, not my cup of tea
Liberal Club, cold and lacks atmosphere, ok for a wake
Chapter Arts, those who go there say it’s wonderful, never been, cannot comment
Just go to the ground. Excellent quality beers and lagers at very reasonable prices.
Was told a few seasons ago by a bouncer in there that ‘vertical drinking’ wasn’t allowed. F*cking daft, it should be a money spinner on a match day and going with the brewery’s bird naming theme should obviously had been called The Bluebird.Quote:

If you want food Chapter and Slizza are good.
Unless it’s in a bottle, Real ale is draught. Draught is beer served from a cask or a keg. You’re confusing draught with craft.Quote:

I've not been there for Weeks.Quote:
