Bubs is Great
The bus was either very late or very early, I missed my train connection and the Apple store was having IT issues. However, Bubs was still Brilliant and I was in the corner with the Festive Awesome Ales. I really going to miss it, if they can’t find a new home. 3800.
Cardiff Like Newport
Summer and a pleasant train journey into Cardiff. However The Queen Street Costa Coffee doesn’t open until 08:00 on a Saturday. Things aren’t back to normal at all. Also, the cask selection in The Gatekeeper is minimal. Thankfully Bubs came to the rescue. The Finest of Ales, The Finest of Staff and some kick arse WiFi. No if I could only get them to open at 07:00 and do Bacon Rolls. You can dream, can’t you?
Red Sky and Email Bookings
Signalling problems then led to me a chancing a train I thought I wasn’t going to get. Lots of red sky in the morning and everyone was wearing a mask. First Coffee and Bacon Roll at Costa since I had the car serviced back in August. Lovely aromas. The Gatekeeper didn’t seem to have much of anything in terms of drinks, probably worried about another Fire Break. Also the same issue with the app as in The Queens Hotel. Still nice and relaxing.
Dropped a booking email to Bubs (ex Beelzebubs, ex Small Bar) to book a table for 12:00. I was there on the dot. Very well run, very secure and an awesome range of beers. must return. Pity about the rain.
WiFi on Monday
As the cold lingers on and the weather is rather spring like, it’s time to test out the Brew Monster Tap in Cardiff. Next to the Goat Major, very Tap like. Great Welcome, The Simpsons on the TV, excellent Ales but not cheap. The WiFi arrives on Monday.
A Sporting Belgian
Autumn (The Fall) hit’s the beautiful Lower Rhymney Valley with only the first day as an Indian Summer. Cardiff where only Wetherspoons have sensible opening times (says me). Ending up in The Head of Steam where the live Untappd feed is only upstairs now. Belgian low alcohol ales and it is as good as the full fat. Power and USB sockets all over. It didn’t rain.
