    I admittedly walked past this place many times without actually realizing what it is. It looks half…read morelike a castle keep, with a super modern shell attached to the back. It wasn't until the summer when I noticed all the people drinking outside that I realized it was a bar and restaurant! The inside is an equally odd mix of old mixed with very new. It's a Samuel Smiths bar which means they offer up a unique mix of reasonably priced beers. My bloke was recommended a 'Man in a Box', which tasted better than its name would suggest. I opted for a lovely cider. The menu didn't temp us, especially being a little more expensive than we would normally pay. Nice enough place for a quiet, relaxing drink especially in the summer, but not really anything special.

    If you want to avoid the more crowded bars of the bay (Salt and Terra Nova) then head towards the…read morecastle look-a-likee that happens to be a bar called The Waterguard. The upsides are: As I said can have a quite drink and get served hassle free. You can play board games as they have quite a few behind the bar including Monopoly and Scrabble. They have a lovely outside area where you can either sit at a table or on the lush grass in the summer. They have speciality beers. The downsides are: They have speciality beers - some people will see this a good thing but I can honestly say I have never tasted a beer I like here. It can be a bit pricey. It can lack a bit of atmosphere if its too empty.

    This is my Wetherspoon's of choice, even though it's admittedly a bit outside my neighbourhood. The…read moreSir Samuel Romilly was once my after-work local, where come 5 pm, the gin and tonics would flow like water. While it serves the usual pub grub like any other Wetherspoon's, what sets this establishment apart from the others is its unusual labyrinth-like layout. Evidently, The Sir Samuel Romilly previously stood as bank, and the room that was once the vault is now one of my favourite spots to hash out the day's events while enjoying a pint or two. The interior is a bit more opulent and grandiose than I'm used to, but it makes for a fine backdrop to an afternoon or evening session. I only remember one occasion where a woman kicked off, but other than that, it's a fairly quiet pub, with chipper staff behind the bar always ready with a bit of banter (when asked where cigarettes could be procured, the dude pouring pints simply looked up at us, shrugged and said, "The shop". Cheeky, but better than a po-faced mug, as far I'm concerned!

    When a whale washed up on the shore near Barry beach, one blogger remarked "This is the most…read moreexciting day in Barry history since the Wetherspoons first opened". As 'spoons go this one is actually alright. The menu is the same as all the others of course and the drinks are dirt cheap but this one has a nice little outside area and if you're a fan of alfresco drinking in the summer it's ideal. It's a nice family type pub basically, but no one will look at you funny if you go for the (underrated in my opinion) breakfast in your pajamas.
