Firedrake & Firkin (now called Gassy Jacks, needs new review)
Always packed out during term–time as it's smack bang in student land of Cathays. Used to have wicked novelty games, but now all that's on offer is Jenga – ask at the bar –. If you're new to Firkin pubs – how have you managed that? –, you might be amused by a pissed board game. To the rest of us though, it'll just mark you out as a Firkin virgin. Ho ho.
