The Goat Major is a small traditional pub situated within close walking distance of the main shopping street in Cardiff, St Mary's.

I ofter frequent this pub on a night out as the food there is well proportioned and general very nice. It is standard pub menu but on a night out this can be needed to absorb some alcohol :)

As for the alcohol itself, expected to find the usual suspects on sale but also several ales of choice. The price for the drink is reasonable given its proximity to the heart of the shopping centre.

As stated the size odf the establishment is small but this does and you wont often find large crowds of drunken lads or lasses there. Good or bad? Buyer's choice :)

Music is usually in the form of relaxed pop music and normally played out through one of the satellite tv channels

The decor is very much old school traditional pub with high leather back chairs around the room. The gents could do with a bit of a make over but no worries over the hygene of the place.

In May 2005 I met a few friends at the Goat Major in Cardiff. It seems to be one of the few traditional pubs in the city centre.

It is named after the handler of the goat mascot of the Welsh guards. Among other beers, the Goat Major has the famous Brains beer on tap which is brewed in Cardiff.

LOCATION:
The Goat Major is located at the northen end of High Street, just opposite the entrance to Cardiff Castle.
