As far back as 1340 the burgesses of Cardiff employed two
ale-tasters to ensure the standard of the local beer was up to
scratch. One of the oldest inn sites in the city is that occupied
by the Owain Glyndwr in Church Street. Called the Mably Arms in
1731, it has since been known as the Kemys Tynte Arms, the Tennis
Court and the Buccaneer, before taking its current name in the
1970s. Cardiff's docks naturally led to a maritime feel in its
taverns, as the owners sought to lure in the sailors who arrived
ashore with money to spend. From the fairly salubrious to the
downright dangerous, he plots their changing fortunes as the city
itself has changed over the years.
