The Bottle Shop, Roath, Cardiff

David Walton left this review about The Bottle Shop

Visited 09/04/26. Visited previously 30/03/24.

No cask. Two keg options now so draught beer now sold since I was last here. The two on offer on this visit were the Burning Daylight DDH Pale Ale from Rivington Brewing and the Tannhauser Gate lager from Pomona Island.

Small glass fronted bottle shop opposite the large and manic Claude pub in the Roath area. There is some outside seating. Inside it is bare boarded with the bar counter at the rear of the venue. Walls both sides front to back, floor to ceiling housing wine, spirits, and plenty of beers in cans and bottles. There are a couple of fridges offering cold varieties of a good selection of what is on the shelves. Seating is via tall stools at a communal tall table down the middle of the venue from just inside the door to just before the bar counter. The venue was very lively on my visit, and I had to stand to the side of the bar counter.
