I'm in Cardiff next week, where should I go for a drink?

[netbob]

I'm in Cardiff for 3 days next week on my own [sniff] (contract work thing). I'm staying near the station, any suggestions on where's good for a pint or two? Any urban meetups going on?

I recomend the micro brewery on Wesgate St: Zerodegrees

Good call.

The Cardiff Cottage on St Marys Street does some lovely Brains beers, is close to the station and pretty friendly every time we've rolled up there.

Twas only a joke...............i was once turned away from the club for being too young when we tried to go in there for a laugh. Unfortunately, that wouldn't happen now!

Walk out of the station, turn right, keep going!

Mochyn is full of Llanelli refugees and Pobl y Cwm. It serves up fail.

The Cayo is full of Cardiff and gogs. Full of win.

And if you're down Tuesday, well, you can watch the mighty bluebirds kick the arse out of the cup. It's gonna be lively.

I like Dempseys, it's got a pretty cool atmosphere (music too) once there's a few people in there, and it's a nae bad pint. The Pen and Wig (pig in a wig ) does some lovely ales if you're into that, and the Goat Major is small and wooden and rather lovely. Most of the boozers aren't bad really, but those stand out imo.

Start at The Goat Major and work your way down to Kiwi's. Plan for a hangover

 

[phildwyer]

No-one mentioned the Old A yet? Still the best place in the city center imo.

No reflex, is a different club - the old bar emporium, Flares is the old Bank - both piss poor places!!

I remember going in The Bank when I was a teenager and being really intimidated by the tall, model like people.......god that was a looong time ago.
