Reviews of Rummer Tavern
B. J.
Great boozer, beers cheap, don't go to the toilets hold it in and wait till you get to another pub, the toilets are disgusting ,that's the only thing that let's this pub down .
A. F.
Nice enough local 'pub' that could do with a little bit of spot & polish as a little bit worn. Has some good pictures on the wall of historic Cardiff to show what it was like before the enormous stadium was built, now 20years ago.
S. J.
Cardiff's oldest pub. Men's loos kinda attest to the age of it! Great atmosphere. Could do with a bit of tlc on the cleaning front to be fair! .
D. A.
Haven't been here in a while, popped in the other week. 'Open Mike's nite, pretty good. Didn't use the loo, when last here the loos were in a bad state...hope they have improved now.
J. J.
Had a ball called in Saturday for a pint had a few bar staff were brilliant will definitely be calling in again when we can all get together again cheers all for the welcome see you soon x
Y. Y.
Brilliant atmosphere! We came from Dartford and found this little gem. Great staff, very friendly especially Joe and Aaron! We both enjoyed it so much! Quick and efficient service. We will def come back when we visit Cardiff next! 🏴❤️
W. K.
Typical city pub. Good crowd in for footie. Plenty of tv's. Two pints £4.90.Good price for city centre. Good service at bar.
R.
I enjoyed a quick nightcap with my son here after the rugby. Two pints of Brains SA excellent. Good simple drinking pub and excellent prices
G. B.
Had a great time. Very friendly and everyone was very welcoming. Came on a karaoke night and was great seeing everyone taking part. Came from Lincolnshire and fully enjoyed the experience of being part of the town. Thank you.
P. H.
Clean and looks recently refurbished? Bass draught very good, staff pleasant & welcoming. Haven't been here for a while but there is still a bit of an unpleasant aroma?
g. w.
Love this place, good vibe, great staff and good pricing for centre of Cardiff.
E. T.
Late night drink that made our night!
The staff were very friendly, arrived 30 minutes before closing but they still couldn’t do enough to make us feel welcome!
Thanks to Aaron and all the team!
Emma and Jason xx

G. P.
Lovely pub right in the city centre. Great atmosphere and great beer
S. A.
Lovely friendly staff, good pint, bar / waitress even gave us a free Welsh flag, great atmosphere. Would definitely return.
E. B.
We popped in for a few beers on our rounds had great service and a good laugh with the locals, very clean and tidy pub to go to.
P. M.
Cant believe places like this still exist . Cheap as anything, barman brought all our beers over , massive rounds we were doing, what a great place!!!!
C. T.
Old fashion pub with a great atmosphere
S. J.
Great little pub. A real local in the middle of the City. Good prices and friendly bloke behind the bar.
G. G.
Really like this bar. It has a a very chilled out vibe with a good selection of beers. Prices are fare and the food is not to bad. They could do with more choices for vegetarians.
The biggest criticism about the place would be the toilets which have not been updated since i first went there 15 years ago.
A. L.
Aaron and codi with the staff have made myself and my husband so welcome for the weekend we spent in cardiff. Friendly welcoming and fun. Made us feel like one of their regulars. Would highly recommend visiting here. Great people, welcome and good atmosphere. We will be returning and highly recommend a visit.
S. N.
Went in recently for probably the first time in over a decade - decent pub, staff friendly, range of beer is ok, not great. Bit of a particular clientele. Show sport. Downstairs is in better condition than the upstairs, but it's quiet up there to watch sport. Pool table as well.
G. W.
Really great spot to watch the rugby.
A. H.
Decent little pub, just missing the sawdust on the floor ! Friendly staff, good service
K. M.
Nice cheap pint in the centre of Cardiff
D. T.
I used to really like this place, but they have made some odd choices. Finding a seat was always rare and now they have removed more seats to install a pool table!! And they disconnected the jukebox after i purchased songs on my last visit. Average pub with nice beer.
L. B.
Great service, very accommodating and bent over backwards to sort us out with great seats for the Euros. Will definitely be back.
R. G.
The Rummer serves decent bottled ales and has some decent beers on tap. The location in the city is good and the exterior of the building is a historic style.
Sadly, over recent years there's been a lack of upkeep and the interior is sorely needing repair and maintenance. The toilets seem to regularly overflow too.
G. R.
Good selection of well kept real ales and a real cider. Comfortable traditional pub surroundings in a central location. Staff are friendly and helpful. Food is nothing fancy, but a good burger and chips for around a fiver is a decent alternative to the usual Mcd / burger king
M. J.
Since Keith took over this place it’s become our new local for the Cardiff City games. About 8 to 10 of us go in here every home game and now I’v heard the poor guy has been let go. This guy was one of the nicest people to work behind a bar, his service was on point and honesty this place WILL NOT be the same without him. You need to 100% get him back if you want this pub to be as busy is it is.
C. A.
I must admit that I am a regular to the Rummer Tavern, It is, like someone has mentioned, a proper little pub not a chain style bar, which is great as I like to support the little guys. Every time I have visited I have received really good customer service, some of the staff are quite if not a little shy but they are characters just like the other regulars to the pub and they never forget a face. The food is lovely, my favourite being the Cajun Chicken or one of their HUGE Sunday roasts on a Sunday of course.
I've not yet tried any of the ales but they have a good range of drinks which is surprising for a little place.
Yes it is a little dark and some of the tables and benches rock (you tell me of a place where there aren't any wobbly tables?!?) but its a nice little place to go for a quiet pint and to escape all the chain bars and pubs.
A.
A nice pub with a good selection of drinks to choose from, with a cosy atmosphere. If you wish to do something other than just drink, there is a pool table available which costs 60p for one game, or £1 for two.
A double rum and coke with a pint of Guinness came to just under £5, so the prices are very good if you are looking for a good place to drink on the cheap.
j. b.
Good old fashioned pub with cheap prices considering the location
J. B.
Great pub, staff are welcoming, nice pint and cheap as chips.
R. T.
Could be the oldest pub in Cardiff. Well worth a visit. Good real ales and reduced prices on lagers and ciders.
Sport on the television.
Nice atmosphere.
T. M.
Great pint of extra cold guiness absolutely perfect and great prices
M. W.
What was once a great traditional pub is now just a generic sports bar, lost its soul in my opinion, gone are the traditional ales and conversations to be replaced with generic lagers and a barge of flat screen TVs
P. G.
Nice traditional little pub in a city filled with trendy night spots where everything wants to identify as a bar nowadays. Decent selection of bottles and the usual draughts.
J. B.
One of the oldest pubs in Cardiff. Has great character, friendly staff and a good selection of beers. Often stop in when I'm in the area.
P. P.
Nice, relaxed, cosy atmosphere. Good selection of ales on offer. Typical city centre prices. Strictly no under 18's allowed in. Toilets are a bit outdated and not in keeping with decor of the rest of the place.
D. C.
Touts itself as a sports bar bit it's just got a few tv's turned up loud & some sort if screen up on the far wall.
Way too loud but one good thing...it has reasonably cheap beer.
k. m.
Brilliant local pub with super friendly staff.
Will defo visit again even though I am from Nottingham, Tuesday night music bingo is ace.
J. C.
Traditional pub with great prices. Atmosphere has suffered in my opinion due to the sports TVs.
T. W.
A nice clean and tidy bar drinks are cheap good service coronavirus rules being applied to the letter will definitely be back for another visit
B. C.
Pleasant staff. I came a few years ago and had an enjoyable meal and drink. I was pleased to find things just as I remembered, and I will visit again if I return to Cardiff.
r.
Been in a few times on a wednesday for karaoke and hope to go in again many more times.the spin and win is a great idea.chance to win a shot or win a random prize.and the kekarao dj is nice and he's fun too and a good singer.drink is very cheap.i only wish karaoke days were different as they clash with kiwis where I've gone regular for a while now.if the day changed to maybe a monday for karaoke I'm sure they would get a lot more custom just for the karaoke.but it does seem a shame more don't use it as you can't ask for more than nice staff and cheap drink.and kiwis opens later so it's always possible to go for a bit after rummer tavern,about 3 hours in each,that makes for a perfect Wednesday.
r. m.
Great little pub,very friendly staff and landlord,good selection of drinks and one of the cheapest pubs in Cardiff.Good for watching sports.Could do with a bit more seating tho.
D. C.
Although the pub's location is "too close for comfort" to the centre, its rather small size keeps most crowds away. Nice atmosphere and a ton of ales.
J. T.
It's good enough to enjoy your time nearby the castle
D. W.
Fantastic pub.....always last stop before getting the Megabus back to Bristol after the international rugby and a couple of tons of burger king afterwards.....just don't ask them for a coffee it upsets them

Best lil boozer in Cardiff. Super atmosphere. Staff where great craic, great chunes and incredible value for money. First place on list of pubs to revisit when Im back.
N. Q.
The place itself is a bit run down and scummy aesthetically but it's very well kept and cleaned, the staff are quite frankly phenomenal. Very friendly and accommodating. This would of been a 3 star besides the redemption of a VERY good pint of Guinness, properly poured by multiple bartenders and the right temperature
G. “. L.
(Translated) Truly a nice Pub, always full of people and fun at night, they have particular beers that you find almost only there and other good and cheap ones.
Recommended for those who like to have a drink with friends and to start the evening
(Original)
Veramente un bel Pub, la sera sempre pieno di gente e allegria, hanno birre particolari che trovi quasi solamente lì e altre buone ed economiche.
Consigliato a chi piace farsi una bevuta con amici e per iniziare la serata
A. M.
(Translated) I believe it is one of the oldest pubs in Cardiff. The cider is excellent but the Guinness is no joke either. You can play billiards and darts between drinks. Informal environment. Very nice bartender.
(Original)
Credo sia uno dei più antichi pub di Cardiff. Ottimo il sidro ma anche la Guinness non scherza. Si può giocare a biliardo e a freccette tra un bicchiere e l'altro. Ambiente informale. Barista simpaticissimo.
