I have not called in since last year but always enjoy visiting this establishment. Great to chat to the locals and especially the stories of Billy Harries. A must visit if you are in Cardiff. Good pint of Brain's cask ale available

As good as it always was.

Plenty of character, friendly, good beer. What more do you need?

First visit for many a long year and I was glad to have a couple of pints to support this pub as it certainly is under threat again. I was told that it would only survive until 2012 and that the owner of the car park also owns the pub building and wants to (a) pull it down for more parking or (b) convert it into student accommodation. I cannot coroborate this, but judging by pervious attempts at closure it would not surprise me if this was the case. The pub is very sad inside, but you can understand why nobody wants to spend any money on it if it will finally close. The landlady was very friendly and there was a "folk-rock" band practicing in the bar when I was there. In fact I was told that they were recording some tracks for an album and as the pub doesn't open till 2pm and I was the only customer it seemed a good place to play their music! How many times have you been to a pub where there was a gut playing on his banjo in the Gents bog !!!
Beer was Brains Bitter and although it was average I did have a couple of pints at £2.25 a pint. It would be a real shame if this place was closed and demolished for although it may not look much now I'm sure it could be great little boozer with some TLC in the future. It certainly stands out on its own where it is situated!
