No Frills.
All Character.
A proper pub, run by family, loved by locals.
You won’t find a pub closer to the Motorpoint Arena than The Traders Tavern – we’re pretty much on the doorstep! Perfect for pre-gig pints, and the music’s always on point… just ask anyone who’s popped in before a show.
Mid-week, we’re the after-work spot for Cardiff’s office crowd looking to swap the desk for a decent pint, alongside the old trading names who’ve been popping in since the pub got its name. Come the weekend for proper local energy. We’re no-nonsense, no-frills, and always a laugh – plus everyone piling in before a show at the arena.
We’re old, we’re local, and we like it that way. Run by family, loved by locals.
No franchise, no frills, just the last family run pub doing what a proper pub should.
