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.

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.
