City Arms

"Absolutely heaving with rugby fans, there for the Cardiff v Sale match, inside and out, three deep at the bar. Bar staff excellent, experienced and efficient, hardly any wait for service. Brains bitter on tip top condition, what's not to like? Pity ot was raining outside...."

"What a great pub with hugely friendly staff and customers. We live in London but are both from North Wales having spent lots of time in Cardiff too. We decided to take a trip there to watch the Wales v England World Cup game. The evening before the match we went to the City Arms for a drink and received a great welcome from Gary and his staff. When we asked whether we could reserve a table for the following evening we were told that reservations were not possible. However, before we left, Gary told us he’d break the rule of a lifetime and keep a table for us to watch the match. True to his word, there was that same table all ready for us when we turned up the next evening! What a great landlord! We had a really good night with lots of banter from the staff and locals……and the beer (Rev James) was superb! Thanks so much to everybody who made us feel so welcome. Just a shame about the result. Bob and Pam."

"Fantastic bar with a lovely owner and bar staff. We came here as a stag on a Sunday and the owner and bar staff were great craic, took photos of us behind the bar and went out of their way to see that we could watch a sports match. Great pints of peroni, would definitely return as it was one of the highlights of our trip."

"We had a great time, very good ciders and joined such a party feeling that we will definitely be back and will be spreading the word about it. Thank you!"

"Located on Quay Street in Cardiff City centre opposite the main entrance to the iconic Principality Stadium The City Arms is a well established pub and a member of the " S A Brains " family though now taken over by Marston ' s Brewery Recently refurbished with the great addition of a comfortable lounge available for private hire on the first floor Great to see Gary back behind the bar He is genuinely nice guy and prides himself on running a "proper pub " frequented by real pub goers who enjoy quality beers with a great welcome and atmosphere A must visit for real beer drinkers when visiting the city"
