Been a fair while so thought I’d squeeze in amongst the late Saturday afternoon throng. Looks like they’ve tidied it up a bit inside, felt less stark and grubby than I recall from previous. Wasn’t able to make out the full ale range so defaulted to Cwtch which was a bit fag-end of the barrel but was clearly a GBG quality brew 30 minutes earlier. Service swift despite the crowds. Card-only payment, boo.

Couldn’t resist a revisit here - eight ales as you enter plus a load of keg, with four cider pumps round to the side – look upwards at the TV screen to see a run-down of what’s on. Tiny Rebel ales plus three from Coltswold Spring and one from XT. My Cwtch was in great form if a little cold. A new item I don’t recall from last year are black and red metal stools, which were bone-numbingly chilly and not great to sit on during a cold dank day. Alongside the shabby chic it means an 7 is the most this place can get in my book – it’s a fairly uncomfortable drinking experience, even if the beer’s great. Rated 7

Tiny Rebel’s brand-new pub, in a fantastic location on the doorstep of the Millennium Stadium. London-hipsterish décor and vibe inside (inevitable given Cardiff’s middle-class urbnanization over the last few years) - exposed brickwork/concrete, general air of uncleaned tattiness. Layout is two ground floor rooms and two hireable upstairs areas. Impressive set of casks (as well as ciders and bottles), featuring Tiny Rebel standards plus some well-sourced guests (my Dark Star Elderflower was very nice) and quality was good across the board (we tried the lot). One downer was that a handpull labelled as containing their Smoked Oak stout was actually poured from keg – the barmaid didn’t do an adequate job of pointing this out and went down in my book as misleading dispense. That aside, this is a really good watering hole for the discerning drinker and the business of it on both our visits (12.30 and 5pm Saturday) is testament to its popularity. Given the less-than-impressive stop at the Goat Major in between I’m tempted to say this is now central Cardiff’s ‘must-do’ pub. Rated 8

Didnt warm to this place at all - maybe Monday lunchtime had something to do with it. Warehouse type conversion, exposed ducting but most importantly, not a comfy seat to be sat on. Most were metallic seats found is school canteens.

The beer was in fine quality but you enjoyment will depend on what you choose and your love of the brewery. With hindsight, I should never have ordered a "Hedgerow IPA". But those untapped badges aren't going to get themselves are they?

Tiny Rebel's Cardiff pub seems to have once been a rather more dignified building but the interior's been knocked about to leave it all looking rather tatty.

On my visit, it was loud and busy; at the bar it was a case of get attention, call out your beer and then get it served back at you in a hurry. All a bit of a bundle and the ale didn't benefit from the rush.

Not an enjoyable visit, unfortunately.
