Old school pub in the heart of Splott, easy to get to from the city centre. Pool table, food and beer. You can watch sport here, friendly staff.

First visit since the reopening very welcoming atmosphere and good drinks selection Surprised to see no food service but still a good place to socialise

Popped in for a bite to eat. This pub has had a bad reputation, but we felt safe enough in there and the landlord was amenable and approachable.The food was okay. Not the worst I've had, and there is a new menu starting. We agree to give the food another go sometime soon, just to be able to have a clearer picture. The prices are cheaper than general, and the service was very good. We were there in the afternoon, workmen came in and we felt comfortable there at this time.Unfortunately the reputation for night time is why I would not chose to go here at night. That said, we like to support local businesses the best we can, and this place is trying its best to attract more clientele. Also does karaoke.

Friends and I visited here monthly for many, many years. It was a classic Brains pub with classic decor. It had some of the best kept beers (Brains) anywhere. We were keen to return when it recently reopened. If you'd never visited before, you'd regard it as a "nice" pub. But, "The Cottage" is no more. The bar "person" was engrossed in her phone, the place smelled heavily of varnish, and all the nostalgic Welsh memorabilia prints have been disposed of. They alone would at least remind you that you were back in the landmark Cottage. The nail in the coffin was that the (just) two Brains beers on display were "off." I have no idea if food is on offer as the kitchen hatch at the far end is decorated over, and no menus were on display. We left for The Old Arcade with its well-kept and full range of Brains Beer. A few days later, I met other friends who were also regulars before the closedown, and they too felt the same. I'll probably return out of nostalgia and curiosity some time in the hope that I can recapture the memory.

Disappointed after waiting for ages to reopen. The Brains Dark was appalling and apparently they dont serve lemonade so I had to have a lager top with cloudy Lemonade which was awful. Will not be returning which is so sad as it held so many memories for us.

A great central public house with plenty of character. Plenty of drinks at very reasonable prices served by friendly staff. I've been coming here for years, such a wonderful atmosphere on your own or with a group.
