An unoffical guide to Cardiff student pubs

Local Pubs
|
Jim and I have been living in Cardiff for 3 years and have spent a lot of time and money in all the local pubs just so we can produce this guide for you. We have different tatses in the pubs we like so we have each given every pub a rating out of 10. Jim's preferred pub has quality entertainment (sky TV) largely based around sporting events where you can spend a solid afternoon drinking setting you up nicely for a night out on the pull in town. Ben's preferred pub has cheap beer friendly staff and tolerates the drunken behaviour typical of student drinking games. He enjoys 2 or 3 hours of heavy boozing followed by a drunken night in the students union often polished off with a curry. The student area of Cardiff is Roath, Cathays and Heath. As you might imagine the student tastes are widely catered for.
