The Llandoger Trow

You're stepping into one of the oldest buildings on King Street—we're talking timber frames and crooked beams that have survived centuries of this city's chaos. The Llandoger Trow pulls off that rare trick of feeling genuinely historic without the stuffiness; locals prop up the bar next to tourists equally unbothered. The food's straightforward and honest—pies, fish and chips, that sort of thing—which is exactly what works here. It's the kind of place where you can sit with a pint and actually hear yourself think, or get properly stuck in with mates on a Friday night.
