The Conway, Cardiff

Visited 08/03/25 Four handpumps delivering Wye Valley HPA, London Pride and JW Lees Bitter. The WV was in good nick. Keg offering of Cruz, Camden Pale Ale, Neck Oil, Guinness, Thatchers Gold, Inch’s and Amstel. Newly reopened corner pub in a quiet part of Pontcanna. some outside seating but inside rammed on my visit with Wales getting beaten yet again in the rugby. There is a front bar with a right-angled bar counter and regular tables and chairs around the perimeter. Tiled front part with corridor at side of front bar takes you to the bare boarded rear bar. The bar counter in the rear bar offers the same beer range and this bar had a large screen showing the rugby on the wall opposite the bar counter. Some booth tables down the left-hand side and regular tables and chairs in rest of floor area. Got the impression the rear bar more set up for diners. Nice addition to the drinking scene in this leafy part of Cardiff.

Local pub with a slight gastro slant in a pleasant, leafy suburban residential area. A number of people were gathered drinking outside. Inside, the bar is L-shaped, with a further room beyond seemingly reserved for diners. Two Glamorgan ales were on - Cwrw Gorslas & Jemima's Pitchfork. We both chose Jemima's Pitchfork and found it to be in excellent condition, something that sadly many Cardiff pubs were falling down on. The young staff seemed approachable and friendly enough. Overall, a decent pub in what appears to be a well-heeled area of the Welsh capital.
