Too Gentle A Schedule
There was a quality plan. The weather and even TFWRail were on my side but the scheduled slipped and in the end it was fine. Revisit scheduled and a shorter walk. Raspberry Beret from Crafty Devil was the beer of the day #Penarth
Underground Blogging in the Rain

The Not Quite a Pub Crawl – Part III
I have just noticed how many of my posts have “Not Quite” in the title and here’s another one. The plan is to finish off my Central Cardiff blogging but as I said last time, I fear it will need another one. And then there is the suburbs, busy times.

Cardiff Castle just after the rain had stopped

The Gatekeeper Cardiff – rear entrance
Not Ponty prices
Starting in The Gatekeeper (again), if for no other reason than the bar opens at 08:00. I was slightly late.

It used to be a Porno Cinema
The classic Cardiff “Let’s have one here before we go on to ….” Pub. Note the Dragons on the roof.
And it filled up as I was sitting there drinking my bottle of Chimay Red with Elton John fans, having several before going to see him in The Cardiff City Stadium tonight.
Brains Bitter (light), weaker (tax) but fruitier than I remember. Great Barmaid here.
Cricket, Football and Fine Cardiff brewed Craft Ales
Ex Small Bar, Beelzebubs is Crafty Devil’s main Cardiff Bar. Great Ales and superior WiFi.
Clean hands healthy beer. Works for me.

The Hopbunker – The best below ground Pub in Cardiff
It all turned into a Murky Saturday and it’s warmer underground.
And it’s all very walkable
A New Cellar
Well suited for Penarth
And the Ales and the Coffee is Fine
Beelzebub
Was the Small Bar
Now it’s Crafty Devil’s Centre Centre outlet
