The Cardiff Arms
The Cardiff Arms is a pub on Churchill Way in the regenerated Canal Quarter, mixing a traditional pub feel with the newer buzz of the area. It serves home-cooked pub food every day, shows live sport on a big screen and has a beer garden, pool table and jukebox. Dogs are welcome.

Food and drink
The kitchen sticks to pub classics: battered fish and chips, burgers, chilli and lasagne, with vegetarian and vegan options and a children's menu. Food runs from late morning into the evening, finishing earlier on Sundays. As well as beer there are wines and freshly ground coffee. It bills itself as the city's newest pub, part of the wider Canal Quarter regeneration.
Sport and games
Live sport is shown on a large UHD screen, which makes it a good shout for watching a match if you cannot get a stadium ticket. There is also a pool table and jukebox, and a beer garden for warmer days. Check the website's sports section for upcoming fixtures before heading over for a big game. The menu changes with the seasons, with a set Christmas menu in December. It is a straightforward, friendly local rather than a gastropub, and prices reflect that.
In the Canal Quarter
Churchill Way sits on the eastern edge of the centre, close to Queen Street shopping. Cardiff Cathedral of St David, the Catholic cathedral, is just round the corner, and Porter's and Bru Coffee are nearby if you are moving on. It is an easy walk to Queen Street station for the Valleys and Cardiff Bay lines.
