A craft beer pub that has a good selection of ales, beers and ciders. The decor is minimal, going for a rustic yet contemporary appearance, but the pub has a welcoming atmosphere and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the drinks on sale. Downstairs is rather small but a larger seating area is available upstairs.
If you like trying different craft brews, this place is well worth a visit.

Great selection of Crafty Devil beers. Staff are really friendly and knowledgeable. Food looks good but not personally tested. Decent prices.. Around a fiver for a pint of good beer.

Where small bar used to be is now home to Crafty Devil's bar Beezlebubs. Their taphouse is home to a few favourites including Mikey Sauer All Dayer Pale Ale and their dreamy milk stout called Safe As Milk. The guest beers are pretty cool too. I always try and visit when in Cardiff.

Was planning on visiting the NY Deli anyway, when they posted on Instagram that they actually had an agreement with the local bar, Bubs to order Deli food to there so that you could actually sit and eat in comfort and get a drink from them.

This was absolutely perfect given a lack of seating now in town due to covid restrictions and some bad weather! Made my way to Bubs on a Tuesday afternoon, perfectly tucked away in Church Street and feels good to support a local too, ignoring the chains next to it. Covid restrictions in place, sanitiser available at the door and you're informed with a sign to wait to be seated. Was greeted by a lovely lady from the bar and I asked for a nice warm seat as it quite nippy and she showed me to a table towards the back of the bar. She asked if I was eating and I said I'd like to order from the Deli.

This was fine and they had deli menus on all their tables ready. She explained what I needed to do, to order online and gave me the address to order too with the table number, then explained that to order Bubs drinks that there was a QR code on the table to scan and order table service. All very easy, ordered a non alcoholic IPA and ordered deli food, thinking it would take a good half hour to arrive. To my surprise, the guy from the deli arrived with the hogies within 10 minutes which was great. Hogies were well wrapped up, and was provided with paper plates, cutlery and napkins.

The food from the deli was outstanding, known for their huge sandwiches and hogies so I had a 'dinky' hogie and my associate had a regular one. Both NY hogies, and I asked for mine to be made with turkey instead of beef, which was obliged. So tasty, really enjoyed the coleslaw, the turkey was lovely and soft and plenty of it.

Overall a great experience, I'll definitely head back, especially in the winter for somewhere nice, cosy and quiet to sit, drink, eat and read a book if you wanted. This review goes hand in hand for both Bubs and NY Deli, both 5 stars for service and food/drinks. Definitely recommend, and you're supporting two wonderful local businesses.

Lovely central Cardiff location with excellent selection of craft drinks. Friendly staff. Decent atmosphere on a wet and windy Sunday evening :-)

My friends go here quite a lot but I've only been the once! Nice atmosphere. Good selection - it was sold to me as a craft beer place which isn't my thing, but there was a good selection of spirits and a hot cider on offer too. More seating upstairs and the ladies toilets were quite jazzy.
