Is there anywhere in Cardiff you can still get a Pint of "Dark"
that's "pulled", like when I lived in the area. I was weaned on the stuff'
and I miss it.

Try the Cottage on St Marys St, or the Goat Major further down, near the Castle. The Old Arcade pulled a good pint of Dark years ago, but I'm not sure what its like nowadays.

Pretty sure that the Butchers in Canton still does it - the Old Arcade does too.

Sadly an increasingly rare sight.

Indeed. And if you ask for a pint of 'light' these days, nobody seems to know what you mean! Did the Goat Major use to be the Blue Bell? :old:

Old A is hit and miss, City Arms used to be one of the best but since the rebrand it is again hit and miss.

My pint of choice if in town.
