The Pontcanna Inn, Pontcanna, Cardiff

I can remember coming here a few times soon after the turn of the century, when I had to be in Cardiff on business from time to time. This was a Tomos Watkin pub then, and the excellent beer was matched by a fine atmosphere. I can well remember how surprised I was, when there was a European football match on one night, that almost everyone in the pub was supporting Liverpool. That aside, it was a splendid pub in those days. I wonder what went wrong?

Nice bar on the left as you walk in, 6 HPs, 3 off the other 3 from the Marstons range included Banks Original and Hobgoblin, both in top form. Worlds Biggest Liar changed to Snecklifter on the second round. Quite open plan, with raised area on the right as you walk in. Very busy, beer in good nick, recommended
