The Bar Canton, Cardiff

No cask. Keg offering of Guinness (poured via one of those new-fangled contraptions where the Guinness emanated from a can), Stowford Press original and dark berry, Alpacalypse, Madri, Coors, Blackthorn dry, Stella, Pravha.

This one was a new one for me. Quite large bar in Canton, tiled throughout. Small amount of seating out the front on a busy road. There are two rooms connected by a doorway mid-venue. On the right-hand side and where the entrance is from the front, the bar counter is mid venue on the right-hand wall. Small number of stools at the bar. Marble tables and high-backed chairs in the front part, with a games area in the rear offering darts and a pool table. There were some sofas against the back wall presumably for the pool players and darters to chill after their exertions. Several fruit machines tucked away in spaces against the walls. Several TV's but all switched off on my visit and an R&B soundtrack played at a low volume. The left-hand room also had a bar counter offering the same keg beers and generally was the same other than the entire space was turned over to the marble tables and high-backed chairs and apparently used for weddings and other functions.
