No cask. Keg offering of Moretti, Guinness, Inch's cider, Cruz, Neck Oil, three flavoured Old Mount ciders on the combo tap, Amstel.

Newly discovered venue for me on the other side of the water facing the Millenium. Bare boarded venue with a tiled area around the bar counter which is on the rear wall facing the entrance. Generally tall tables around the bar counter with otherwise a more eclectic set of seating arrangements to the left- and right-hand ends of the venue, including a floral fabric banquette along the right-hand wall. Screens showing game shows and a banging music soundtrack on my visit. There is some outside picnic style seating on the walkway alongside the River Taff. There is a monthly quiz here plus regular live music. Not a leading light but a pleasant venue if its type.
