Built in 1886, the Packet is the last remaining historic pub in Cardiff Bay, a stones' throw from the former Pier Head in an area that has changed out of all recognition since World War 2, but the Packet hasn't. The single bar is comfortable and has a traditional feel with varnished woodwork and a maritime theme. The "Cwtch" is a quiet corner down three steps at the rear and there is a pleasant garden beyond.
