About The Rhiwbina Tap & Cellar
On Heol-Y-Deri in Rhiwbina Village, The Rhiwbina Tap & Cellar is a pub built around a rotating range of local and international beers, a notable cider, and a wine selection. A piano sits in the bar area for anyone to play. Pizza and sides come in from Snails Deli to go alongside the drinks. Seating is limited, so arriving early helps secure a table, and the pub takes walk-ins rather than bookings. Dogs are welcome throughout. The toilets are shared between customers rather than split by gender.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often come for the drinks, especially the local ales, beers and cider, with several praising the selection and one noting wine and international beers too. Dog friendliness is close behind, along with friendly staff, a lovely bar, and a chilled out vibe in the village. A few mention extras: a piano in the bar area that the public can use, and pizza and sides ordered from Snails Deli. One reviewer describes a small French cafe feel with warm lighting. Several note it gets very busy, and one says seating is limited, so arriving early helps secure a table. Prices are called a little high by one diner. The shared unisex toilets draw the clearest complaints, with two reviewers describing them as untidy or heavily used, one citing men leaving the door open. One reviewer found the welcome from some staff less than welcoming on a busy Saturday evening, and another found the bar really loud. Staff also gave one table a free pint after a mix up with the beer descriptions on the wall.

“Nice selection of beer, good local place to pop in for a pint. Recommended”

“I popped into the Rhiwbina Tap recently on a Saturday evening for a quick pint. They do a great Cider there. It was a busy evening but the welcome from some of the staff was less than welcoming. If you work in the hospitality industry you need to treat your customers well, politely even, otherwise they'll go elsewhere.”
- Dave Hillier
“Didn't eat, but sampled some local ales. Good selection of local and international beers. There is a piano in the bar area which the public can use.”

“Lovely little bar to enjoy a few drinks with friends and family. Seating is limited to make sure you arrive early to ensure a table! Prices are a little high, but the beer and wine are good nonetheless! Staff were very pleasant and even gave us a free pint of beer after a mix up with the beer descriptions on the wall.”
- Andrew Forde
“Lovely little bar, great choices of drinks that you won't find elsewhere. Staff are superb as well - would thoroughly recommend even if just popping in for one drink!”
