THIS IS AN OLD BAR THAT HAS SINCE BEEN RENAMED!
Shiny, happy, smiley and just a little bit cheesy pop pickers. Bar Med has a little bit of something for everyone. Just think of it as you, your mates, your front room and your dog, with disco lights to boot. Read More...

Ok, let me set my stall out from the start - this review is gonna be biased. It can't be anything but, after all this is the pub where I witnessed Scott Gibb's last minute try against England at Wembley in 1999, PLUS Gavin Henson's last minute kick against England in 2005. Read More...

A plethora of swish new bars have opened on Greyfriars Road during the past few years. The Fat Cat is one such offering, located just opposite the New Theatre. The Fat Cat has a very upmarket look to it with plush seating, atmospheric lighting and even a few velvet drapes thrown in for good measure, but it still manages to maintain a relaxed feel about the place.

This is one of two pubs that the Firkin empire run in Cardiff. Prior to the 1999 Rugby World Cup it was very much run for the rugby fans among us. The walls used to drip with all manner of rugby memorabilia. My favourite of which was a small plaque containing around 12 teeth, all allegedly lost in a match between Wales and England in the sixties! Read More...

I first started going to the Greendown a few years back. They do a cracking quiz night on a Saturday which I used to go to religiously.
