"Popped in this morning, seeing the breakfast for £2.95 couldn’t pass up on that. For the price, the meal was nice and no complaints. The seating area was clean, tidy and you could see the entertainment opportunities with the bar and event goings on. I’d definitely go again and recommend to anyone looking for value for money breakfast."

"I travel the world full time and have to say Granny Mac's is one of my favourite places. Best Guinness in Cardiff, great atmosphere & 10/10 pub performers. Gotta be done"

"Best pint of Guinness in Cardiff! (For £4.85). Friendliest landlady as well as the owner. Always up for chat with you and the regulars are a great laugh too. Really care about the quality of their Guinness and have a good selection of other drinks (Budvar, Neck Oil, Inches etc). Haven't tried the food but good selection of bar snacks (Taytos) and they do a spice bag if that tickles your fancy. Often have live music on weekends and the atmosphere is always top. Local favourite!"
