Roughest pub in Cardiff today?

Not that many really rough pubs left in Cardiff. Probably the Jug & Bottle (I remember it as the Leather Bottle, what a shithole) and The Highfields are the worst.

You will never get the likes of The Goodies, Dusty Forge, The Plymouth, Yellow Kangaroo, The Crown (College Rd) and The Bulldog again (thank God). Like the Wild West. Outsiders were definitely not made welcome!

I'd forgotten The Bulldog, if it is/was the one at the bottom of Pentrebane Hill? Definitely top 3 material if so...

Remember doing my apprentership in a factory in Cardiff and going to Ely with a boy called Will Carol whose old man was running the highfields..........jesus.....a valley boy walking in there.......had some strange looks and the sweat was running down my back for about an hour.....once they realised i was a city fan,things got a lot easier and i was well pissed by the end of the night.

Highfields Caerau

I had a motorbike pinched off Heol Trelai several years ago and I ran in there asking if anybody had seen it. It was probably behind the bar.

Probably raffled it.
The bridge was a bit tasty in the 90s

The Bridge, my local, every now and then it opens back up for a couple of months. Don't last long though

The retreat in llanederyn back in the day was like the canteen in star wars

Soft spot for this pub They put a plaque up from my uncle in the pub when he died very young of cancer back in 94 he was on 37 at the time

What is the Wolf's Castle in Llanishen like? On a green surrounded by council houses, all the ingredients to explode.

Jesus, yeah I knew Spot, top top feller. He was one of the older heads up there, but always had time for us younger reprobates. The plaque is still there mate.

Is the Bosun still there? Used to call in occasionally when I was working in Sharpe & Fisher, in Collingdon Road, BITD. Nobody bothered us, though.

Used to have a pretty bad reputation, but not been there for years.

Great to here that he took me to my first ever city game in 75 He is missed so much

The bridge in Ely has been sold to some developer.

The highfields is rough, the CAERAU isn't too bad.

No, The Plymouth in Grangetown. Was on the corner of Holmesdale St and Clive St. Nasty smelly place mainly inhabited by druggies and glue sniffers in its latter years.

Doesn't sound to clever.

It's in CAERAU not Ely, anyway from what I can gather they ran him over but I'm sure we will know everything soon. Seems some head case just released went a bit mental.

Apparently hacked his own fingers off with a machete in the mele. Few of the locals 'restrained' him apparently. Rumour that he is dead. Only a rumour tho

Any one remember the Bulldog in Fairwater? Or the Leather bottle, Pentrebane??
