History
Built in 1890, for many years a pub-hotel, the Claude has undergone two significant transformations in recent years.Before 1973, the Oak Room was a men only lounge, with the other half of the groundfloor split into a public bar, a ladies only bar called the Snug, and a skittles alley at the back.
Around 1994, these three areas were opened out into one area.
Significantly refurbished in December 2005, with lounge oak floor restored to its former glory.

Inside
This is a big pub, and very worthy of a visit. The bar staff and Management are friendly, and the atmosphere inviting.The Oak Room lounge has oak panelling all around, apparently protected as a listed feature, and quite rightly so. This is a mellow room, frequented by the longer term regulars, made comfortable with 2 real coal fires. The walls are are sprinkled with a set of historic Cardiff pictures.
The Public bar attracts a large student population, especially during live sport events. It is truly cavenous in size, where even 4 pool tables fail to dominate.
The food menu is now revamped with a good range of well priced offerings. Steak specials on offer on Fridays/Saturdays, and a Carvery on Sundays. And a good selection of wines.
A first in a Cardiff pub is the Internet cafe in the far corner, with 6 terminals.
