Bub's Bar, Cardiff

This place was once situated near the Goat Major but is now sandwiched between the new Head Of Steam and the Brains Old Arcade. It's a split level bar with high seating on the lower level and lower seating at the upper rear level. There is some music memorabilia on one wall in the rear part consisting of two posters and four album covers of British bands over the years. It was fairly quiet on a Wednesday afternoon. It's run by the Crafty Devil Brewery so there is no cask although there is one unused hand pump. I went for the Crafty Devil Cry Baby from the array of keg fonts. This was a 5.3% brew that cost a ridiculous £5.50, at least £1.00 over the odds. It's worth a look to try the Crafty Devil wares but they are overpriced.

(Actually, not that small) craft beer bar in a rectangular shop conversion, with a reasonable frontage and going back some way. Limited decor and fairly rustic furniture, supplemented by a couple of notably long wooden benches out front. I counted 14 craft beers from a total of 24 taps, together with three real ales from another eight spindly metal handpumps - including the Grey Trees Equinox APA (£2.70, for 2/3rds of a pint, which is where the 'small' comes in I suppose).
