About Tiny Rebel Cardiff
Tiny Rebel Cardiff is a pub and craft beer taproom at 25 Westgate St in Cardiff city centre, across the road from the Principality Stadium. Brick walls and themed rooms set the space. The bar pours its own craft beers alongside several cask ales, including a Tinselmisu Stout served flat, and drinkers can try a beer before choosing a pour. The food menu runs to 55 dishes, with burgers and Onion Rings among them. Sunday lunch offers vegan and vegetarian options next to beef and pork. Dogs are welcome, and a loyalty scheme gives regulars discounts.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers come back most for the beer, especially the house brews. One names the Tinselmisu Stout as fully flat and coffee-infused, another settles on Cwtch after trying them all, and others mention Cali Pale, Rebel IPA and a cask Pacha Cherry with cherry and chocolate notes. Several praise the friendly, knowledgeable staff who explain the long beer list, and one appreciates being able to try before buying. Burgers and onion rings come close behind, with the rings described as crispy, and one diner mentions vegan and vegetarian options at a Sunday lunch. The atmosphere is called buzzy, with '90s rock and a good location across from the stadium, which one reviewer used for pre-gig drinks. The main caveat is the crowd: one visitor on a Friday night found it very busy with loudish music, and another suggests booking if you want to sit down and eat. One reviewer notes a loyalty scheme with discounts, and a solo traveller calls it a comfortable spot for a beer or three.

“Best beer in Cardiff. Foods amazing as well. Staff are great just what you want in a bar.”
- John Pawson
“Popped into this bar a couple.of times on solo business trips to Cardiff. There's a lovely buzz in the air, lots of small and medium tables. The staff were all friendly, knew what they were talking about when it came to the huge array of beer choice. Tropicana, 313, Boogaloo, Catch to name a few of the excellent beers. Always feels like a comfortable spot for a beer or three.”

“Pre beers before seeing Metallica in the Principality Stadium. This is a great tap room with a fantastic choice of beers. Considering it’s across the road from the stadium, it didn’t take hall g to get served and even managed to get a table! Cheers, Mike @the_man_cave_est2021”

“Bad ass pub in Cardiff! Many cask ales including a Pacha Cherry that has cherry/chocolate undertones. '90s rock playing...cool vibe. Definitely check this place out!”
- Bob Persuader
“Tiny Rebel is a really lovely bar to visit. There are plenty of different beers and drinks to choose from, so there is something for everyone. The building itself has an older character and a warm feel, which makes it a great place to relax. We really enjoyed having a drink here. Thank you.”
