Cardiff, Wales. Formerly the Old Market Tavern, it is thought to have been built in the 1600s. The pub is famed for the exploits of landlord Joe Holbrook, who ran the local circus. When he died a circus elephant named Lily reportedly drank a pint in his honor, much to the delight of the assembled regulars. Olivia Newton-John's father Brinley was born in the pub (her grandfather ran the pub). The pub is said to be haunted by the ghostly figure of Dic Penderyn, who was hanged just around the corner on St. Mary Street.

A bit of a contemporary rebuild, but still lots of brick and dark wood. And as everywhere else in Wales, they love the craic!
