| Good little pub in a street which looks as though it has gone downhill since new shopping centres have been built. Enjoyed a couple of different Brain's beers and was served promptly. Nice atmosphere with a very unique frontage. mcroyal - 10 Mar 2011 12:38 |
| Smelt a bit - a few airfresheners stuck down the back of the seats didn't mask it all but the range of Brains and the quality sampled was excellent. I would go again. alecstewart - 27 Feb 2011 19:20 |
| Why is this pub listed under “Cardiff Cottage” when (as you can see from the photo), it’s actually just called The Cottage ? It took me ages to find it on here – I probably would have given up if I didn’t remember having seen it before. Anyway, I used to say that this place was an oasis of calm from the busy street outside – but that’s no longer true since the street has been pedestrianised ! The whole pub is long and thin stretching back from the street. The front portion has the bar down the left hand side and is obviously designed for standing drinkers (there are a few seats). Further back are some seating areas with tables – normally for people who are eating, but it’s not compulsory. Pretty much the full range of Brains on tap – I’ve tried both the Dark and SA and they were pretty good. I’ve have eaten here, and the food was definitely acceptable, but I can’t remember much else about it. I do remember, however, on my last visit being impressed by the “cheese and cracker selection” that the people on the next table were having. I seem to remember there are prints of old Cardiff on the walls. I’m afraid the toilets could be better. There was no lock on the only cubicle that was working for a start. 6/10 – marked down because of the toilets. Martinsh - 6 Oct 2010 22:47 |
| Interesting pub interior and well kept pints of Brains. But, rather lacking in atmosphere due to too many tables arranged for eating rather than boozing. alebarry - 9 Sep 2010 17:29 |
| I popped into the Cottage recently on a recommendation. I found an extremely inviting interior, and a good range of Brains' beer on tap. Sadly, despite the pub being reasonably quiet, I gave up waiting to be served after I had been waiting at the bar for over 5 minutes. A good barman ought to be able to keep tabs on who due service rather than simply calling 'Who is next, please?', especially when the pub is not busy. A shame, but I'll return. thomashenry - 9 Jan 2009 18:18 |
