Prelude – Beers Of The Beano – Saturday 23 August 2025
Some of the best Spoons are Spoons that leak and have cheap guest ales. The Tumble is one and the Bridge House has joined the clan. Gone Fishing is appropriate as I’m overlooking the River Avon. The wonderful Prince of Wales micro pub this afternoon.

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
Head of Steam
A cold November morning in Cardiff
To visit the Head of Steam
