Crafty Devil's Cellar, Cardiff

This is an outlet for the nearby Crafty Devil brewery that currently just does kegs tins and bottles. It's a shop conversion with two areas. The bar is at the front on the left with some shelves of bottles and cans on the right. There is just tall furniture in here and there is a large TV above the bar. Further on through there is another room with low furnishings and a massive projector screen. There are six keg offerings and the Crafty Devil Feed my Frankenstein (£4.70) caught my eye which was a proper Black IPA. I took this through to the rear room where after a while the barman came through and asked me if I would like the TV projector screen on. I was tempted to say yes and ask if I could have BBC Parliament on but thought better of it. This isn't a true micropub but I really enjoyed the Black IPA. The TV screens are a big minus point for me.

Keg-only micro-pub in the suburb of Canton, but otherwise as you would expect from this ilk. Little in the way of decor, and a limited amount of plain furniture in the compact bar and rear room. It does, however, benefit from a small rear patio (where all the customers were on a warm afternoon). Own beers and several guests in a range of styles on offer, but went for the 'house' Mikey Rayer (£4.00).
