Claude

You'll find Claude tucked away on Albany Road in Cathays, the kind of straightforward pub that doesn't need to shout about itself. It's got that comfortable, lived-in feel—the sort of place where regulars know the bar staff's names and everyone else feels welcome anyway. The Greene King operation means decent cask ales and a solid food menu that won't break the bank, with mains hovering around the £10-14 mark. It's the pub you'd actually want to sit in on a rainy afternoon, rather than somewhere trying too hard.
