Behind an ornate wood and glass frontage, the Cottage has a long, narrow interior. Built around 1750, it is one of the oldest inns in Cardiff. A classic pub, serving a range of Brains ales amongst others. Decorated with old photographs of the city, this is a convivial retreat on a main street where the nightlife can be hectic. It's usually very busy on rugby international match days.

Historic Interest

Circa 1895, Grade II Listed. Historic Wales/Cadw reference 21648
