We decided to give this place a shot after hearing about its supposed ocean views, but it turns out we misunderstood--it's not beachfront, and the ocean isn't visible from their location. However, once we adjusted our expectations, we found plenty to enjoy. One highlight was their beer selection, which offered a nice variety without overwhelming choices. We particularly appreciated the option to create a flight with our top picks. The bartenders were exceptionally friendly and accommodating. As luck would have it, just as we settled in, it started pouring rain, prompting everyone else to leave. Suddenly, we found ourselves alone with the bartender, sharing a laugh over our unexpected private moment. It was a quirky twist that added to the charm of the experience of being in a "confessional" Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Love this place. Very good location right in Cardiff. This place is dog friendly and great even if youre not a beer lover. They have lots of good options and very friendly staff to help you decide. I went with the beer flight so I could try a few things. I got to design my own flight. I loved not being stuck with any unwanted beers. Price per person $20–30 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Taster Flight
