The branch awards its Pub of the Year accolade to the Cardiff pub that its members feel is the very best in the city.

Our members will consider a number of factors when making their decision but top quality real ale is, of course, top of the list. Previous winners have also been chosen for their support of local breweries and cider producers or for their status as true community pubs.
