THE YARD IS PERFECT FOR ITS CENTRAL LOCATION ON CARDIFF'S ST. MARY'S STREET. Originally the Albert pub and part of the original Brains Brewery dating back to 1713 it is now the place to be at the weekend to soak up the city's vibrant atmosphere. There's a great buzz every day of the week. You can grab some tasty food during the day, and with our great value menu, there's plenty of choice through the day. With an exceptional range of drinks, the Yard comes into its own after dark and is well known for its regular programme of live entertainment.
