What User likes about The Butcher's Arms:
Spent in the afternoon in the beer garden. Beautiful atmosphere and very friendly staff. Table service, but not much of a wait for our drinks. I can't wait to go back. View all feedback. What Lesley O doesn't like about The Butcher's Arms:
Went on a Saturday night ,intending to have one drink. Pleasant atmosphere then an embarrassed staff member came and asked to move to another table saying they hated asking us this. We were intending to leave not that the staff member knew that so we went we wish we had asked why ? Would not go there again. View all feedback.

Good pub. Always busy on a match day. Good vibes. Slightly cramped but I get that's all part of the pub experience

The Butchers Arms is a traditional pub in Canton that is beloved by locals for its friendly atmosphere and excellent selection of Brains beer. While some were disappointed by the lackluster vegetarian Sunday lunch, others praised the quality of food and drinks in this establishment. The outdoor seating area is well-maintained, and the staff are attentive and helpful. Music nights, like Tuesday's open mic, are popular, making it a go-to spot for a fun evening out. Overall, The Butchers Arms offers a relaxed atmosphere, delicious food, and great service, making it a must-visit for those in Cardiff.

The first time I have been here for a while. A proper pub serving an excellent range of beers (and Hop House 13). Still a great place

Sunday lunch Lamb, beef, chicken, pork, choice of desert. Small pub, quite busy, booking a table and time slot on a Sunday is advisable!

Sad to see it go so downhill. Half the beers were off, the drink we were served was not great and shut early because of lack of custom. Needs a good shake up.
