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 Fleurs:shrug:) Splott is moving towards being the new Temperance Town.

Re: Splott Boozer

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?

Re: Splott Boozer

And what about the Bertram, the Locomotive, or the New Dock Tavern? Roath?

When my nan lived in Bridgend street and visiting on Sundays, i was often sat on the step outside the Winbourne and the Bomb with Dad having a swift couple of pints whilst waiting for the bus I'm sure he was always a little early for the bus so the excuse could be made for a pint.

My old man would do the same with me, but it was the old arcade. I'd wait outside the side entrance that leads into the market and he'd come out with 2 pints of dark and a packet of oxo crisps and a panda pop for me. I used to look through the door while he was getting served, full of proper drinkers and not that much conversation going on.
