Not a boozer but there’s plenty of those about. Looks good from the pics and nice to have some independent stuff in Cardiff and not another copy cat chain business.
Will be checking that out before Weds game.
It’s £5 a pint
To be fair it's a beautiful building glad it's been opened, did like the old pub though .
Great pub, in the 90's it was my pub of choice on match days ( and occasionally other nights )
Gentrified.
Used to spend Sunday nights in there in the eighties when it had a Scottish landlord who was a good bloke (went off it after it was refurbished) - saw the worst pub brawl of my life in there during that time between two mad Irish women.
Great to see it reopened. Hate an empty unit and this does look different.
That said, it's very gentrified, it's quite exclusionary on prices and there is something about the hipster culture; the way it copies working class culture but prices itself to exclude many on lower incomes that I just find, I dunno, uncomfortable.
Brewdog are the worst example with their whole 'BEER FOR THE PEOPLE' thing, at £5.40 a pint or whatever.
Good luck to them mind, and it is great to see it open and I'm sure it will be popular.
Wt actual f is that?
Should be good for Fulham fans when we play them it will be like wetherspoons prices for the happy clappers.
I used to pass it on the way to work, can’t remember last time it was open. Last I heard there were squatters or travellers living in the RP pub.
I’m a bit surprised by the reactions to the Corporation opening again in this thread. No it’s not opening as a pub, but there’s extra jobs, businesses and money being brought to one of the poorer areas of Cardiff. I’ve seen plenty of outer city high streets, particularly in North England and the Midlands, that have basically been abandoned from any investment and are nothing but bookies, vape shops and takeaways.
Got to agree, people would have moaned if it had been converted into apartments etc etc, at least this bringing in a few jobs, something slightly Different , sure its a hipsters dream, but they got to spend money somewhere
these quirky high streets can take off, Shepton Mallet was heading down the quirky route, Glastonbury certainly is, one of my fav little cafe's on that high street, 100% Veggie and its always rammed, got to be better than Charity shops, Vape shops, Bookies and a Wilko's
Nobody is against the idea of the market, it's just all a bit self serving in my opinion. Some of the stores project an ethical Message but the reality is that the wider community won't be able to afford to shop there due to the prices. It promotes a message of inclusiveness although it's the opposite in my opinion. Good luck to binki and her crew with her refillable pasta packs.
I've worked for the landlord of the corporation and to say that he's a prolific property developer who liked to pack em in is an understatement. If I was a cynical man then I'd probably think that he's waiting on planning permission to turn the building into apartments. I'd have liked to have seen a hotel there, that would have created more jobs for the community and would've benefited the surrounding businesses. Although I doubt it would be allowed due to parking restrictions in the area.
From a barber, to a bookshop, to a charitable clothing shop Corp Market has combined some of the city's favourite independent businesses under one roof.
The city's independent retail scene was devastated when*Castle Emporium was forced to close last month.
However fans of the much-loved city centre venue will be pleased to see that the majority of the traders have travelled west and found a home at Corp Market.
It's not all about beer prices you boring old fart.

and hair dressers/barbers, there's always loads of them. Although Canton already has all of those except the Wilko's, which I would welcome.
It's like one of the 1980's episodes of 'changing rooms'.
It looks like its 100% for Cardiff's Hipsters, right up the Hipsters street IMHO, thus it will have a fairly high price tag
It will always be heading down the apartments route, it'll be a fairly easy conversion and the building is in a great location ( as you say, apart from parking ) so if you are a professional who had a job in the center of Cardiff, you are what they want
When we stayed in Liverpool for the netball World Cup, I couldn't get a hotel in the center that had any car parking, it was really strange, ended up staying in a Prem inn ( which we like ) and booking car parking with the hotel but had to park about 20 mins walk away on the plus side of that we walked past a " Taco Bell " so found that

The poster, “Canton Kev”, said “he would be checking it out on Wednesday”
I was just warning him, it was £5 a pint, as the only thing he will be able to check out, is the pub part, as the rest shuts at 5pm
I won’t lower myself, to resort to name calling, as that takes me back to school playgrounds
