Cardiff pubs so good they're in the CAMRA Good Pub Guide 2027

One new entry is a neighbourhood favourite

“This year, we released our flagship report, ‘Beer in the UK', alongside our campaign to expose how ‘Big Beer’ is dominating the UK beer market, and how ordinary drinkers and independent brewers lose out as a result.”

The 2027 Good Beer Guide has revealed the new entries for its new edition and there are eight new Cardiff pubs included.

The Guide, compiled by CAMRA (Campaign For Real Ale), is the definitive guidebook to pubs that serve great cask beer across the UK, and uses an independent, volunteer-led selection process that makes it the authoritative and trusted voice of cask beer drinkers.

The new guide for 2027 features 4,500 pubs, 1,700 brewers and 5,000 beers. There are eight Cardiff pubs new to the pages for this year's guide including recognisable city centre venues, Blue Bell, Owain Glyndwr and the Prince of Wales. The Earl Haig Club in Whitchurch was also listed, a popular club in the area it hosts live music events on a regular basis.

The full list of new Cardiff pubs in the Good Beer Guide 2027

  • Aneurin Bevan, Birchgrove
  • Ivor Davies, Canton
  • Halfway, Pontcanna
  • Earl Haig Club (Royal British Legion), Whitchurch.

Across Wales there are 43 new pubs, including the Cardiff ones, if you want find out more about these pubs, you will have to order The Good Beer Guide 2027 book by CAMRA, and details on how to do exactly that can be found here.

Information in the guide is collated by thousands of CAMRA volunteers, who have given up their time every year to select the best pubs across the UK.

Ash Corbett-Collins, CAMRA chairman, said: "The Good Beer Guide is fiercely independent, just like the brewers making the best beer. It is the result of the time and effort of our volunteers across the UK to find the pubs serving the best kept cask beer.

“This year, we released our flagship report, ‘Beer in the UK', alongside our campaign to expose how ‘Big Beer’ is dominating the UK beer market, and how ordinary drinkers and independent brewers lose out as a result.

"Because of that, we need the Competition and Markets Authority to start a formal investigation of the UK on-trade beer market. If you agree with us, please join CAMRA, buy the Guide, and find amazing independently brewed beers for yourself.”
