The Roop....affectionately known as The Orchard in years gone by due the rough cider on offer.
More like first home
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!
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.

One or two of the guys post on here .
The Roath Carlylian Club has been The Old Illtydians Club for a number of years now. The other pub you mention I imagine is The Cardiff Arms on Railway St (the pub, the recently retired Coomber had before The Canton), sadly, now a block of flats as is The Grosvenor, Ruperra & The Moorlands. Apart from Splott Cons & Fleur’s (not The Fleurs as some call it, it was named after the woman who owned it, although the sign outside now reads The New Fleurs7 Years i lived in Splott, Not sure I went in the Tred, always looked a bit rough for me

Charlie’s
The Neville
Brian’s place on the corner of North Clive street I forget the name of 😆

Did Steven have a brother called Gary?
I guess it's a lot to do with how you define Splott. I was about to suggest the Moria, and the Splotlands, but were they in Splott, or in Adamsdown?
And what about the Bertram, the Locomotive, or the New Dock Tavern? Roath?
