Hudo Lounge, Cardiff

Now called the Hudo Lounge, part of the Loungers chain.

This is a Brains outlet that is more like a Wetherspoons than the actual JDW outlet diagonally across the road. It's a long wooden floored room with the bar on the right. It extends back a long distance and has a ground floor accessible toilet with the main ones being upstairs. The tables are numbered for food orders. There are TVs but they were muted and showing sport "news". It has a low ceiling making it seem fairly dark. I got here around midday and there were a few groups of people coming in for food. There are four hand pumps which had Brain's Bitter, SA, Rev James & Rev James Gold. I went for the Gold (£3.25) which was in good nick. It's not too bad a place but I preferred the more basic public bar in the Butchers Arms up the road.
