Good old fashioned Brains boozer.

Lovely pint of SA at this welcoming locals pub. Good for watching sport. Less expensive than some of the other bay pubs and a nicer atmosphere. Well worth popping in.

I love the packet, a true old pub in the heart of the Bay. Its name is derived from the merchant seamen docking in cardiff and spending their wage in the first pub they meet, after travelling for months on end.
