user reviews of Grange, Cardiff
please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
This pub has been comprehensively de-Brainsified and de-nineteen-eightiesified (what a terrible decade) to its huge credit, and put back to what most pubs always should have been. Its basic but smart, bar, and lounge-cum-dining area, are now varnished-and-sanded wood floored throughout. In the bar there is a dartboard and bar billiards table, but thankfully, no gaming machines, no sport TVs - although there is a projector for culturally important events - and no menus or condiments on tables. Dogs must be kept on leads (which means that you can require similar standards of restraint for kids too.) There were five cask ales on, four craft and one standard, Butty Bach. Good food is served according to what is on the blackboards. Best of all, there are no bigoted loudmouths dominating the atmosphere, but a mix of the gentler souls of the neighbourhood chatting, playing darts, enjoying good beer and food, and mixing generally amiably. It's run by the same people who have the Lansdowne in Canton and it's great, getting ten-out-of-ten from me. Incidentally, Brains gave up on it as a no-hoper, but it's now thriving. Take note, other strugglers. Hulots_hat - 1 Sep 2018 21:27 |
