I'm so bored with flat pack gastro pubs that sell mediocre beer and have as much atmosphere as the moon.
I want a proper boozer. Good pint, selection of bar snacks, juke box, dart board, pool table, skittles, beer garden, fruit machine, occasional live bands, pub quiz and a bar maid straight out of a Carry on film.
Does it exist?
Rompney Castle.
The butchers in Llandaff is good - no pool table though
The Packet Cardiff Bay https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restau...les_Wales.html
Was in the Birchgrove to listen to a singist last Saturday, proper throwback , full of over fifties all arseholed . Good curry up the road as well .
golden lion in penarth is a good shout, so is the albion
Queen's Faults has footy, pool table, darts,smelly toilets,good food,old carpets /furniture, wobbly chairs, big television, TV over the bar , pork crackling, near staggering distance to bus /rail station, real ales/ciders,foxy barmaids, jukebox, three doorways for quick escape.
Heaven whilst it lasts.
The canton cross.
Always loved The Albany in Roath, and The Royal Exchange in Llandaff North. Both Brains pubs which I find to be the best in these parts, but always guest ales on. The Royal Exchange in particular, pours a good pint of whatever they have as they are old school with regards to cellar / barrel / pipe maintenance.
The best pub, depends on the person using it and what they are after.
I travel to Canton, for the best homely pub, which is THE CANTON.
It's like your nanna's front room, but it is full of personalities and a great game of Don (cards), on a Sunday.
Music every Sunday, darts and pool and a robbing barsteward of a landlord makes it one of the last local pubs in Cardiff.
Won't suit a lot of people though.
I can tell you what the worse pub in Cardiff is by a mile - the stinking Village Inn, Pentwyn
The Borough and The Queens Vaults are the best pubs in the city centre. The best pub I've ever been in was The Dusty Forge in Ely, sadly closed in the early nineties and is now a community centre .
