Right by SWALEC Stadium, 'The Black Pig' is
both the de facto cricketer's pub and one of the few places in Cardiff where you might
hear Welsh spoken. There's a big variety of beer on tap, including a range of craft ales.
Once you've checked out the cricket memorabilia in the wood-lined pub, head outside to
the garden to catch the rays.

Truly an independent music great, Y Clwb has
broken many a Welsh band since the early 1980s. It started as a venue for Welsh-language
music in Anglophone Cardiff and has built a reputation as Cardiff's most eclectic and im-
portant venue. It now hosts bands performing in many tongues and it's the best place to
catch gigs by up-and-coming new acts as well as by more established artists.
