The Three Horseshoes, Cardiff

The Three Horseshoes is a fairly basic local on a busy traffic junction. Despite being in such a prominent location, it's very easy to miss it, with the large Wetherspoon's (Aneurin Bevan) immediately catching attention. A tented area on the side of the pub doesn't do it any favours, as it seemingly disguises it as a pub. Having looked at Whatpub before arriving, I was expecting a Brains pub. However, there was no sign of any Brains beers. The choice was Doom Bar or Doom Bar Extra Cold. We ordered one of each, finding that both were cold with no apparent difference in temperature. As Doom Bar goes, it was in good condition. Service was friendly, but the pub is very basic and not particularly appealing. There were a few afternoon drinkers and a couple of women were holding a business meeting.
