  “Well this is a nice little touch. It was chucking it down with rain as I was leaving. While I was putting on my waterproof jacket, a member of staff asked if I would like an umbrella. I was ok thanks, my waterproof was sufficient. Now that's what I call exceptional service.”

  “Love the pub quiz here. Nia has great questions, great vibes and a great mic. It's also in an amazing location in the heart of Cardiff, making it very easy to get to and a perfect place to catch-up with mates. Id strongly recommend the Icebreaker pale ale but the abbot ale is also very good. I feel very at home here. If it were my home I wouldn't complain. 10/10”

  “Lovely atmosphere and 10/10 pub quiz! Lots of great drink options (including non-alcoholic options, greatly appreciated) and a decent pub grub menu. The pub quiz is every last Thursday of the month and raises money for MacMillan, we go to several quizzes in the city and this is a genuinely good one!”

  “Had lunch at this pub yesterday before hubby went to the Metallica concert. We picked it mainly because Greene King is always a safe bet, not expecting anything out of the ordinary, even less when we saw how packed it was. We managed to snatch up 2 seats right at the window at a large table, and hubby went up to the bar to get drinks. Despite the crowds, he was back within a couple of minutes with 2 wonderful beers. We ordered food, the Sunday roast and the cheese and bacon beef burger, again not expecting anything special. Waiting times said 45 mins, food came quite a bit earlier and was absolutely delicious! The burger was evidently made fresh to order, crunchy salad and fresh onions, the fries were perfect topped with sea salt flakes. Service was so lovely despite the huge workload. Will definitely return on our next visit to Cardiff!”

  “This is a really nice pub and great that they show so many sports. The atmosphere was nice and its was quite busy, we were still able to get a table for 2 quite easily. We didn’t have any food but the cocktails are nice and it’s great that you can order drinks to the table to avoid multiple trips to the bar.”

  “Found this bar whilst visiting Cardiff for a couple of concerts. The staff were friendly and helpful, even put the MotoGP racing on for us to watch. Reasonably priced food and drinks, the food was better quality than I expected and very generous portions”

  “We were virtually the only people in there at lunchtime, so can't really give a true score for atmosphere, although it would have been more pleasant without the drilling and hammering continuing regardless of us being there trying to enjoy a meal. Other than that, the service could not have been better. The barman/waiter was so kind and even moved a table and chairs so that my elderly mum wouldn't have to use the stairs. And very careful about our fussy requests on our food order. The food was very good, quite generous and a reasonable price. Would definitely recommend it, as hopefully the renovations have now been completed.”

  “Decided to call in here a few days back for food. Had the crispy halloumi bites as a starter. They were nice but over-priced for what you get. For a main had fish and chips which was very nice, reasonably priced. To be fair the pub was very busy, even so the food was served quickly (around 15-20 mins). Staff were friendly, although there was a bit of a wait at the bar to order. What really put me off was where I was sat a table nearby had such a noisy family sat on it. Then to top it all off had other people milling around the table where I was sat having food. To the point even leaning on the corner of the table and chair😒 The pub was very noisy in general though as there was football on. So not ideal if your looking at going somewhere quiet for food. If there was a separate bar / restraunt area this would have made the experience alot better. Also I had the offer on the GK app 20% off when spending over £20. However if I hadn't of had that I don't think it would have been great value for money. Even the Guinness Zero is quite expensive in comparison to quite a few other pubs.”

  “The food was quite average. It’s clearly a very tourist-oriented place, and the dishes felt a bit generic and nothing particularly memorable. Everything was acceptable, but nothing stood out in terms of flavour or quality. For the price and the location, we expected something a bit better.”

  “We had a lovely pre-gig pub lunch here, meeting extended family in December 2024. There was a great varied menu with lots of choices at good affordable prices and we were lucky to grab a table as people were leaving, but I’d recommend making a booking as we went past the prior evening and it was still bustling with business. Despite the roaring trade, service was quick and arrived promptly. It was a decent portion size and tasty. I’d definitely choose this again for an affordable eat close to the Utilita Arena.”
