The Wonder Bar

I've been meaning to update this for a while. I took a bit of time off from work due to a recent hospital trip (nothing serious!) and had a bit of a holiday at home with my family and friends in South Wales. I've also been preparing my for The Wonder Bar's debut, which will be a lot sooner than I originally anticipated...

(If anyone has done a recent pub count, please let me know!)  Unfortunately, the pub trade is a dying one and not all of the pubs here are doing that well.
