Visited 06/03/25

No cask. Keg offering of Guinness, Aspall, Staro, Madri, Coors, Alpacalypse Session IPA from Salt.

This is recently re-opened and is now a pretty smart venue (for this part of the world at least) on the fringes of Cardiff Bay. The ground floor has the bar counter on the rear wall to the right of the corner entrance and has a few tall tables on a basic carpet just inside the entrance. The tall stools accompanying the tall tables were too tall, couldn't get my knees under the tables whilst sipping my pint of Guinness. The area around the bar counter had a dark stone floor and the seating area in front of the bar counter comprised of regular tables with fabric armchairs, the tables all laid for diners, and partially screened off from the bar counter by some shoulder high screens. Similar arrangements seating wise the far side of the bar counter. There is a upstairs dining area but I didn't venture up.
