Only Pilsner Urquell on tap in this well-known cocktail bar in Cardiff. Several other decent beer options by can and bottle to augment that most basic draught offering.
If Porter's is a tad tricky to find you need a Ph.D in detective work to find this venue. Literally no external signage, you need to know to just press the fire button on a non-descript door on a building which has a monkey mural on its right-hand side. Inside after being greeted at the door, you walk down a short corridor before a set of double doors opens into the bar area. The area is quite a dimly lit room with lots of kitsch furniture and the bar counter on the left-hand side in the middle of the space. Table service only but super friendly staff that made for a 30 min stay here most enjoyable.
