Brewhouse & Kitchen - Cardiff

Head down to Sophia Close and you'll find yourself in one of those proper neighbourhood pubs that actually feels like it's been there forever, even though it's doing something fairly modern. The real draw here is that they're brewing their own stuff on-site—you can clock the tanks from your seat—which means fresh pints and seasonal experiments that rotate through faster than you can say 'another round.' The food's solid too, designed to actually pair with what's in your glass, and the kind of place where you can rock up solo for a pint or bring mates for a proper session without anyone batting an eyelid.
