Sexist barman, horrible decor, indoor astroturf??? Ruined the oldest pub in Cardiff with tacky renovations. This building shouldve been protected from whatever has happened to it now.

Strange colour scheme and paint job that sucks all the traditional pub atmosphere and replaces it with a half arsed attempt at a 'sports bar', awkward football theming is being kind. Advertisements also played through the speakers completing the match day experience. AstroTurf compliments the beautiful traditional glass windows. You'd think there would be some precautions in place to stop things like this happening to historical buildings.

Very very run down. Mold on walls and most of the decent ales were all off and the bar lady didn't know a thing about what she was serving begind the bar when i visted on the evening Sat 7th Jan 2023. Needs a refurbishment as very very poor now - look at the mold on the walls - downstairs, left just before the gents. Not acceptable!

Great little pub with great staff. Worth a visit if you're in Cardiff

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.

Was down Cardiff for the day and popped in for one or two. Nice pub! There was 15 of us.

Quality pub opposite Cardiff castle. Great for watching sports.Very good atmosphere

No beer available, apparently casks need to be used quickly and there's not the demand, choice of lager cider or Guinness. Ok if you're not a real ale drinker

Great pub and excellent food and service will definitely be coming back

Decent pub and prices are hard to beat, just don't have much expectations from reading it's the oldest in town, not much of that's left unfortunately.

Lovely pub, great offers on the drinks. Friendly service too

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?

Well looked after last Saturday. Was out with friends for Cardiff pride. Staff were polite and helpful.

Gent's toilet smells awful ,is down in basement also could smell wacky backy from street when front door open

The heavy rap background music not my cup of tea. Great location, just opposite the castle.

Called into the Rummer Tavern for a light meal and a drink. I had the Cajun chicken dirty fries with a pint of strongbow fruit. Delicious cooked meal to order. Nicely served in a basket and liner. The service was welcoming, The Tavern was well decorated in Cardiff City FC colours. Good selection of meals and draft and bottled drinks. Perfect for meeting with friends, socializing, and predrinks before sporting and events in the heart of the city centre.

I used to come to the Rummer every week on my lunch break for their amazing hunters chicken. After the new management, it really lost its "old pub" vibe and they stopped food so I stopped going. I popped in today as they've got another new management team. They've given it life again. Repainted, opened the kitchen and just made it nicer. I was on break and would of loved to stay longer, so I'll be back in after work next time. The food could be to stay or takeaway which is really handy. It's tasted great too. Thank you for giving the pub some needed love. I'll be back again 🥰.

Really good pub, few and far between these days hosts were really welcoming the food was top notch and the beer was good a good selection too

Great staff,very helpful and really friendly. Terrific atmosphere for the football,in particular the Celtic games and all the Celtic lads are very friendly and welcoming. I will be definitely coming back. 👍

Really enjoyed the atmosphere especially for the sporting events The new food menu is spot on. Had the Cajun chicken and fries which was great

Had a much needed smarten up apart from the men's room. Beer prices are no longer cheap infact a bit expensive £5 for a Doombar.

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.

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.

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! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿❤️

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!!!!

Decent little pub, just missing the sawdust on the floor ! Friendly staff, good service

Great little pub. A real local in the middle of the City. Good prices and friendly bloke behind the bar.

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.

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

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

Bar staff are awesome, really friendly and quick service. Nice old school pub :)

I visited this Cardiff real ale pub on Friday 8th October 2021 This pub served a adequate choice of hand pumped ales but on the up side was a propper welsh locals pub which made my wmexperiance in here well worth while

A good pub friendly and good price

Good old fasion pub with live music

Good beer. Good prices....

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

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.

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 .

Hideous. Don’t bother. Toilets in a hell of a state, football fans, rough as hell. Used to be a great pub.

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! .
