PORTER’S IS A FUNNY OLD PLACE.

WINNER OF THE INAUGURAL CARDIFF LIFE AWARDS 2014 AND VOTED A NATIONAL RUNNER-UP AND NUMBER ONE IN WALES IN THE OBSERVER’S ‘‘BEST PLACE TO DRINK’’ CATEGORY 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016, ONE MIGHT CALL US A ‘HIDDEN GEM’...

BUT PERHAPS ONLY IN THE SENSE THAT WE’RE BASED IN THE BACK OF BEYOND AND WE DON’T HAVE A SIGN.

BUT WHEN YOU DO FIND US, YOU WILL FIND A WARM WELCOME, A GREAT ATMOSPHERE AND A CHARACTERFUL MEETING PLACE FOR A COFFEE WITH FRIENDS BY DAY AND A HOME OF VIBRANT AND DIVERSE ENTERTAINMENT AND FUN BY NIGHT.

FAILED ACTOR AND OWNER DAN PORTER BELIEVES IN TREATING PEOPLE HOW HE WOULD LIKE TO BE TREATED SO COME DOWN. NOT JUST TO LAUGH AT DAN AFTER HE’S HAD A FEW, BUT SO THAT WE CAN LOOK AFTER YOU AND GIVE YOU A NIGHT TO REMEMBER IN WHAT WE HOPE WILL BE YOUR NEW HOME FROM HOME.

GOOD PEOPLE. GOOD TIMES.

Reviews

  • "Great selection of beers from around the world, the manager really knew his stuff and was happy to chat and answer any questions about the beers they sold, top bloke…"

  • "This has to be the best bar in Europe. What makes it really great as opposed to just good is undefinable and to experience that you'll just have to go yourself. Now. You won't be disappointed."

  • "First pleasant surprise was the welcoming and friendly door-man. Helpful bar staff. Good music that didn't make conversation a struggle. Great outside seating area where we spent several hours relaxing.
