Bar 44, Cardiff

Visited 20/02/25 No cask obviously. Small draught keg range, all with a Spanish theme! So, there was the obvious Estrella Galicia, a dark beer - the 1906 Reserva Especial, an apple cider called Marlow Sidra and then the Toro Blanco Pale Ale brewed for them by the Glamorgan Brewing Co in Llantrisant. Sibling of the venue in Penarth and there is also an, unvisited, branch in Bristol. This is a classy bare-boarded tapas bar on Westgate St opposite the Millenium stadium. The bar counter is a rectangular island with tall stool seating at both sides and which effectively acts as a room divider. There are plenty of nooks and crannies with a range of seating from regular tables and chairs to leather banquettes and some booth seating for the more private drinking and dining experience including some areas obviously set aside for private dining. Food is excellent.
