The Dock, Cardiff

Visited 27/11/25. Visited previously 14/02/24. No cask. Keg offering of Ffresh, a new one for me the strawberry SB cider, Inch’s, Asahi, Moretti, Cruz, Guinness, Peroni, Stella, Madri, Thatchers Gold and Clwb Tropica. Large sports and entertainment orientated bar. On two levels but I didn’t venture up to the second floor on this or indeed any previous attendances. Ground floor is dominated by the bar counter in the middle of the floor space. Venue is a mixture of bare boards and patterned tiles especially around the bar counter. Multiple screens were showing the Palace Euro game on my attendance absent commentary, the noise annoyingly provided by a thudding soundtrack of utter non-descript music (if you could indeed describe as music rather than noise). Variety of seating options, plenty of regular tables and chairs and booths, with the odd semi-circular crushed velvet banquette thrown into the mix. Spotted a stage / DJ booth in a corner of the venue maybe a weekend operation only as unoccupied on my later Thurs evening visit.

Large and ornate pub in modern building as described below. They seem enthusiastic about their beers and have Brains special brews and craft beers alongside the regular ones. Cask Marque listed. One of the better drinking places in Cardiff Bay.
