The Head of Steam Cardiff

The beer

When Camerons announced the Cardiff bar, it planned 19 keg lines of rotating craft beer and 10 cask ale lines, drawn from local brewers and from across the UK. That makes it a good place to try something new, with cocktails, wine and soft drinks for anyone not drinking beer. Beer cocktails and a range of spirits are also on the list.

Food

Food was planned to run daily, from modern takes on pub classics to stone-baked pizzas, burgers and hot dogs, with some dishes cooked using beer from the bar. A tasting board pairing a light bite with a flight of beers is a sensible order for a first visit. Burgers include one made with a beer from the bar, which fits the pub's beer-first approach.

Match days and nearby

Church Street sits between the castle and the stadium, so expect it to be busy before and after big games. On quieter days, browse Cardiff Market next door, grab a coffee at Corner Coffee across the street, or head for dinner at Pasture a couple of minutes away. The pub was one of the larger openings on Church Street, taking over a former restaurant site.
