Photo by George Phillips<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Martin Holmes, 55, fell into pub work by accident. After taking voluntary redundancy from boring admin jobs, he covered shifts in a pub his wife worked at. This led him to another pub in Cardiff where he met a co-worker who had his own brewery and wanted to sell beer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They decided to branch out on their own and create a micro-pub. They found a location, Crwys Road in Cathays, and were ready to sign contracts when Holmes&#8217; business partner pulled out. Holmes, much to his wife\u2019s frustration, decided to carry on.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d always wanted to run a little bottle and can beer shop,\u201d he said, \u201csomething a little bit quirky and unusual.&#8221; Holmes, who was 50 at the time, wrestled with the idea. He questioned whether to commit to this mammoth task by himself. \u201cIf I don\u2019t do it now, I never will. What the hell! What could go wrong?\u201d he laughed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Holmes overcame delays, exhaustion, and a stint in hospital and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walesonline.co.uk\/whats-on\/food-drink-news\/micropub-opens-former-cardiff-post-15377451\">opened<\/a> the Cathays Beer House in December 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Listen to Martin Holmes introducing himself and the pub\u00a0<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-soundcloud wp-block-embed-soundcloud\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe class=\"zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load\" title=\"Meet Martin and the Cathays Beer House by CardiffJomec\" width=\"1200\" height=\"400\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"about:blank\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F1658144943&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxheight=1000&#038;maxwidth=1200\"><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"Meet Martin and the Cathays Beer House by CardiffJomec\" width=\"1200\" height=\"400\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F1658144943&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxheight=1000&#038;maxwidth=1200\"><\/iframe><\/noscript>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Emotional hardship<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally from Essex, a relationship led Holmes to Cardiff in 2000. Sadly that ended but he decided to stay in Cardiff to be close to his son. \u201cI\u2019m more happy here\u201d he reflected. If he hadn\u2019t moved, the pub wouldn\u2019t have happened and he\u2019d still be in London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pub is open six days a week, with Holmes running the pub entirely by himself. He reflected that these long hours can hurt his relationship, some days not seeing his wife until 11pm. This is counteracted by the large number of friends the couple have made through the pub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> A community feel<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Holmes wanted to create somewhere \u201cabout community and about friends\u201d, a place of familiar surroundings and people you know.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lifting of COVID-19 restrictions in 2020\/21 was a challenge, with Holmes and his wife Diane suffering abuse over enforcing rules they had no say in. Diane was assaulted, which Holmes said really upset and depressed her, and she no longer helps out behind the bar. Holmes was shocked at people\u2019s attitudes, he was only trying to provide a service to people &#8211; being open was harder than the actual lockdowns which he described as wonderful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>If I don\u2019t do it now, I never will<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Holmes can certainly be described as alternative and the pub\u2019s decorations mirror this. He prefers \u201ca little bit quirky\u201d and likes to be a \u201clittle bit of an outsider\u201d. Although his ideal pub would be painted black, blasting rock music all day, Holmes wanted his pub to be attractive to as many people as possible, adding, \u201cAnyone who\u2019s an outsider or feels they\u2019re a loner can come in here and be welcomed.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thinking of the future, Holmes has no desires to stop and would happily go on well into old age &#8211; something he\u2019ll have to get past his wife, who would like him to stop in a few years. \u201cWe\u2019ve got so many people that rely on us,\u201d he said, \u201cI\u2019ll be letting people down if I do close now.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/p\/Cathays-Beer-House-100057286524684\/\">Cathays Beer House<\/a> celebrates its fifth anniversary on 6 December 2023, with a sold-out party taking place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-luminous-vivid-amber-color has-black-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-a8c5a8d6d7a4dcd3081bd3c7559487c3\">\u201cLiquid joy\u201d: Martin\u2019s favourite beer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-43f830e25df9898bf17f5f7e49e50d26\"><strong>The pub stocks so many different ales, stouts and ciders but if he could pick only one, what would Holmes choose?<\/strong><br><br>\u201cI\u2019ll go with New Bristol Brewery, their Cinder Toffee <a href=\"https:\/\/newbristolbrewery.myshopify.com\/products\/copy-of-wonderland-ipa-4-1-440ml\">Stout<\/a>.
