Pen & Wig is a refurbished traditional pub located near Queen Street in the city. It offers a warm and cozy atmosphere, open mic nights, and a courtyard garden. The pub has been featured in CAMRA's Good Beer Guide for its great selection of real ale from local breweries and beyond. With live music all year round and a spacious beer garden, it's a popular spot for locals and visitors alike.
came for their sunday roast and it was amazing! the turkey was not dry at all, super tasty and perfectly paired with the gravy. they even have refillable yorkshire pudding, gravy and potato (but the portion they give is already so large i don’t think you would even need to refill!) they get really crowded so it may be advisable to make a reservation

Fabulous Sunday lunch. I had the cauliflower tart which was delicious and my partner enjoyed the lamb shank. The additional cauliflower cheese and braised red cabbage were spot on! Extremely friendly service with a shout out to Stevie!

What a great pub off a side street. Lovely lady on the bar. As a solo female diner I felt incredibly comfortable. Couple of vegan opinions so I ordered the butternut squash ravioli. Wow, it was excellent, garlicky and tangy tomato. Highly recommend.

We arrived after the Cardiff half marathon had just finished and it was heaving with people. But our table was ready. The queue at the bar went fast and the food (which we ordered assuming there’d be a decent wait given the number of people) came out super fast. Really tasty roast and lovely staff. They dealt so well with the huge numbers people in there that afternoon Food was great too

Only had some nachos and a few beers. Great service by bar staff. More of a pub that locals would visit. Friendly. Nice selection of beers too
Roger W — Google review
Good selection on tap (lager, ales, cider) and a good range of spirits and mixers available too. The staff were friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. I appreciate the interior design of the pub but my absolute favourite element is the large beer garden. The garden has a variety of tables suitable for every need, some tables in the open and others under shelter. There are heaters for the evenings and blankets that can be borrowed. I first went here around 10 years ago when I last lived in Wales and I’m so glad to have found it again!

The Lansdowne Pub, located near Cardiff City's stadium in Canton, offers a blend of old-school charm and contemporary atmosphere. The pub features a stripped-back interior with classic elements like dart boards and pianos, alongside a great selection of beers including Pipes beer and an ever-changing variety of craft guest ales. This gastropub has been recognized as the CAMRA Cardiff Pub of the Year multiple times and serves high-quality pub grub.
Such a lovely pub filled with vibrant employees! The plates were so clean i could see my reflection! Amazing pricing as well as some banging cheese also the barman had a great pair of cheekbones that could cut through steel. Highly recommend!

I took my elderly grandparents for lunch on a Saturday- there were 9 of us and the whole experience was stress free. Super quick service and the food was really great. The fish and chips got a thumbs up from both grandparents which is rare!

A long way out of town but fairly close to the Cardiff City stadium. And it was worth it. Lovely friendly pub. Loads of real ales. I found some Bombardier again!! It was empty when I walked in but packed an hour later with not enough staff!! Why on earth don't they pay extra staff, organise themselves and get a bumper Boxing day pay out !! After all January won't be busy. It really isn't rocket science. We gave up queuing in the end and went to the Stadium. They really are missing a trick with 3k away fans....considering it is such a lovely unique place...

Once great independent free house slipping slowly towards mediocrity. While beer selection remains strong, the menu has reduced and people freely vape on their ‘chav pipes’ inside the bar ignoring the smoke free rules. Staff indifferent to this - probably partake themselves.

Friday 19th September 2025 This pub has a very good barstaff/owners behind the bar today this wooden floored pub is a propper locals pub with a atmosphere only a locals pub such as this style of pub has inside Comfortable place to drink one of the 4 splendid hand pulled ales which this pub always has on offer inside it. Keep up the good work all involved with looking after this public house

Famous Cardiff Pub, in the Canton Markets area, once used by the many rail and postal workers. Sympathetically redeveloped, with apartments. Independant, great staff, cask ales, carbonara style pasta bake was awesome. Friendly locals too, darts and a piano !. Worth a visit , rail and bus easy reach." Current Thing " pub of all ages.Enjoyed my visits.

Great pub. Friendly atmosphere with lovely staff. The food is great and reasonably priced for the quality. I love the burgers. I really recommend it. It has a really 'old school' pub vibe with lots of different beer mats decorating the bar. The layout is arranged so there are intimate little corners for a quiet date or large tables in the back room for a large group of friends. Would really recommend.

The food here is *really good* I can recommend the flat iron steak with green sauce. Good atmosphere, an open mic music on first and last Tuesday. Pretty minimal uncomplicated decor but manages to feel cosy. Not accessible that I can tell. They might have a ramp if you ask.

We hired the function room for a private party. The service was flawless - staff were super helpful, food was lovely (& there was plenty of it), & the room itself was gorgeous. We had a great night, due in large part to how fab the staff & venue were. Thank you so, so, much. Special shout-out to Steve the bartender for getting the karaoke started with those silky pipes of his - what a legend!! xx

My husband and I recently organised a charity quiz night at this pub in support of Mind UK, and it was an absolute delight. The private function room was just what we needed – spacious enough to accommodate all our teams comfortably while allowing us to seamlessly connect our laptop to the screens for presentations and videos. The stage was a fantastic addition, making it easy to showcase our raffle prizes and extend heartfelt gratitude to our guests. The microphone system was a game-changer, especially when the energy was high and drinks were flowing. It helped rally everyone's attention without a hitch. The private bar was a hit among our guests, offering a fantastic array of drinks, and the fully equipped karaoke machine was an absolute blast. The staff were incredibly kind and supportive throughout, contributing to our successful fundraising efforts for Mind UK. Their assistance was invaluable, and we're already planning to book another event here soon. A huge thank you to the entire team for making our night memorable and for aiding us in raising significant funds for such a crucial cause. Highly recommended for any event needs – they truly go above and beyond!

The pints were top-tier – perfectly poured and ice-cold. You can tell they care about quality here. And the food? Absolutely fantastic – piping hot, full of flavour, and hit the spot perfectly.

If you thought from the pictures and menu that you would find a nice craft beer pub with a chill vibe then you would be disappointed. Poor range of beers, horrible DJ, loud music and 80s disco lightshow. Chap outside with flyers for a free shot - 'any shot you like!'. Not true. Apple or raspberry sourz, and you have to buy a pint. Neck Oil £7.50 a pint. Everyone apparently ready to fight, barstaff, bouncers, and punters. Dreadful place.

No longer sells food, I was looking forward to the pies but now see all reviews mentioning them are 6+ years ago. Enjoyed a nice pint of Brains. Music was upbeat pop. Otherwise decent vibe for a Tuesday evening, looks like it caters to a young crowd on weekends, with jagerbomb deals advertised and DJ booth in the corner.

Tiny Rebel Cardiff is an offbeat bar located at 25 Westgate St, Cardiff CF10 1DD. The brick-walled bar offers themed rooms and serves craft beers, ciders, and creative burgers. It's a dog-friendly establishment that welcomes canine guests with treats and water. The bar features a vast variety of beer from Tiny Rebels' award-winning brewery in Newport.
I've been drinking Tiny Rebel beers for years but this was my first time in Wales and the first time I'd got to visit one of their bars. Hopefully it won't be the last. The staff were really friendly, the beers are spot on, the vibe was cool without ever being uncomfortable and the bar snacks were excellent too. I'd liken it to a Brewdog bar but cosier and warmer. The place was lively on a Friday night with most of the tables reserved but we still squeezed in and enjoyed some really good loaded fries and garlic mushrooms. Definitely somewhere I'd return if ever I'm in Cardiff again

The best place in Cardiff for a beer with a burger - and onion rings, which were as crispy as they looked. Appreciate that you can try before you buy. Tried them all so for once, I finally found a beer I liked and will stick with - Cwtch. Rebel IPA was nice too. Great service and ambience.

Great vibe and creative beers Tiny Rebel Cardiff is a fantastic spot for craft beer lovers and anyone looking for a fun, laid-back atmosphere. The interior has a cool, urban feel with funky décor, neon signs, and a great mix of seating options—perfect for casual drinks or a relaxed night out. The beer selection is excellent, with a wide range of styles brewed in-house. I tried a few of their seasonal and core beers—standouts were the Clwb Tropica and Stay Puft. They’re bold, creative, and full of flavor.

During this short trip to Cardiff we came twice to this lovely place. The first visit was by chance, as we were simply looking for a place where we could just have lunch on a very busy Sunday, with everything completely full. We managed to find a table and drink a perfectly served Guinness along with a delicious cheese and bacon burger. We loved the place so much, that we returned the following day, for a more quiet and relaxed experience. Quite a vast and good selection of beers, very nice staff, great music and perfect vibe! One of my favourite places in Cardiff.

The Old Arcade is a traditional pub located in Cardiff, known for its vibrant atmosphere and popularity among sports enthusiasts. It is a branch of the Brains company, offering Tex-Mex dishes, a beer garden, 3D TV sports, and a pool table. The pub has a fantastic menu serving comfort food and a variety of beers and ales. With its charming character and historical significance dating back to the 19th century, it's an ideal spot for locals and visitors alike.
Being Portuguese and Walking into The Old Arcade in Cardiff, you’re hit with a buzzing sports atmosphere—rugby memorabilia, international flags, and TVs showing football, rugby, and darts. It’s a proper pub with real character. The cheeseburger? Crispy but still full of flavour and just a bit overr cooked, with melted cheese oozing over the patty. Pair it with crispy fries and a cold pint, and you’re sorted. To finish of I went with chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream, just the right amount. Perfect to end the meal. Whether you’re here for the game or just a great meal, The Old Arcade delivers. A must-visit for sports fans and food lovers passing by.

If you’re looking for the best cheeseburger of your life, look no further than The Old Arcade. Nestled in the heart of cardiff, this cozy, welcoming pub doesn’t just serve great drinks—it delivers a cheeseburger experience that will ruin all others for you. The moment it arrives at your table, you know you’re in for something special. The golden, toasted brioche bun is perfection—soft yet sturdy enough to hold the masterpiece within. The beef patty is thick, juicy, and seared to a perfect crust, locking in all those rich, smoky flavors. But what truly sets this burger apart is the cheese. Melting effortlessly over the patty, it’s a gooey, flavorful dream that ties everything together. Every bite is a perfect balance of textures and flavors—the crisp freshness of the lettuce, the slight tang of house-made pickles, and the secret sauce that adds just the right amount of kick. Pair it with their perfectly crispy fries and an ice-cold pint, and you have a meal that borders on legendary. Whether you’re a burger aficionado or just someone who appreciates damn good foods, The Old Arcade’s cheeseburger is simply unbeatable. Don’t walk—run to get one.

A wonderful, long standing establishment in Cardiff. Exceptionally well located within the town, plenty of space, clean and tidy with a great selection of food and drinks. I've had a warm welcome on every visit. Such a great atmosphere on match days and race meetings.

Amazing pub really shows the welsh spirit, it has got the food the service and the vibes also has international decoration which gives the pub welcoming vibes for foreign customers , the staff were amaizing and the decoration is great really love the old wood style and how they kept their heritage, the rugby references were also beautiful. Would come back again. Had a cheeseburger and it matched expectations, good bread and chips and the sauces were also really good

Came for judgement day. Had food and pint before the rugby. Chicken and rib combo was superb washed down with the local brains SA. Wide range of sports on the tv. Staff very friendly and Mark the landlord was knowledgeable about his rugby and sport in general. Will come back after the rugby for a few pints. Found a new when travelling to Cardiff city centre.

Quite simply the best pub in Cardiff. My wife and I were there on Sunday afternoon and the atmosphere and beer were amazing. We decided to stay and have something to eat and settled for some fish & chips, which turned out to be a wise decision because what we were served up with was possibly the best fish & chips we’ve ever had. You just knew that it was swimming in the sea that morning blissfully unaware that it would end the day on my plate. We’ll be back for more!!

Blue Bell is a charming and historic pub located in Cardiff, offering a warm and inviting atmosphere for locals and visitors alike. The traditional Welsh cawl, a hot brothy lamb and vegetable soup served with hearty bread and butter, is highly recommended for those looking to savor authentic local cuisine. The Victorian-style interior adds to the pub's character, while the friendly staff ensure a pleasant dining experience. With outdoor seating available, it's an ideal spot to enjoy a meal on a nice day.
It was lovely going to the Bluebell (formerly the Goat Major). The place hasn't changed at all. All of the beautiful old features have been maintained. Great to see! Although we didn't eat here today. They had a very good menu. The chap at the bar was helpful and friendly. I overheard him offer to open the ladies toilets on ground level for some ladies, because the toilets there were upstairs! So, good access from the street but not easy for the conveniences there was a good Size outside seating area for smoking and enjoying company on a warmer day. We will be back, and maybe sample some food next time. 😋

Delicious food and warm service right by the castle I visited The Blue Bell twice during my stay in Cardiff—first for the Welsh Rarebit and then again for the traditional Wells faggots. Both were absolutely delicious, with generous portions and very fair prices (£5.50 and £11.95). The pub is cosy, peaceful, and just steps away from Cardiff Castle. Andy, the server, was friendly and attentive, and there was no wait at all. A great spot for tasty local food and a relaxed atmosphere.

Recommended by locals, it is one of the oldest pubs in the heart of Cardiff and is a solid, classic pub with everything you could want: a good selection of drinks ranging from beer and cider to wine and cocktails, classic pub food with vegetarian options (veggie burgers), which unfortunately closes relatively early, good music and sports broadcasts in a pleasant, classically dark interior with friendly service. Everything is reasonably priced. Highly recommended!

Had Sunday lunch here which was a major let down. The meat was so tough, you couldn't cut it with a normal knife. It tasted as though it was leftover from last Sunday's lunch. Broccoli and carrots were out of a frozen packet, I wasn't given any baked leeks and the food was cold. Good location across from Cardiff Castle but I wouldn't come here again

Nice rooms and good food. Premium prices for both, and based on other people's good reviews, I had hoped for a little bit more. Friendly service, especially from Emma at breakfast. Of the many bed and breakfast locations we have stayed in locally, we felt this location offered poor value for money. We stayed in room 2 (in May), which was one of two rooms built partly into the roof space: there were three roof light windows with only restricted views (but probably better than the other two rooms), and low headroom in much of the room. Although the windows offered reasonable ventilation, because the room was built into the roof the temperature was uncontrollably hot. The room had a bath and shower, but the bath was slow to fill and extremely slow (10-15 minutes) to drain. The two first floor bedrooms were accessed via a narrow staircase at the rear of the pub. Cooked breakfast needed to be ordered the night before, and consisted of standard items plus coffee, toast, cereal, juice and blueberries. We walked to the pub, but parking was limited. The bedroom carpet was badly worn in one place, and covered with a rug which was a bit of a trip hazard. Fresh milk provided in the room, but no decaf tea or coffee.

Really enjoyed the walk from taffs well station (even after in the dark) along and up from the river bank. It was busy but unlike most busy pubs/ restaurants they embraced it rather than struggled to cope. Clearly a well managed place with a good team. Food was lovely, drinks choice was superb, and the service was great too. Two trains each way for us to get over from where we live in Cardiff but well worth it to be able to enjoy a few drinks. We'll be back again soon.

Additionally, it caters to large group bookings and offers an array of vegan options.
Had a great time here. My wife had bought us a beer tasting masterclass. OMG, brilliant. Although there should have been us plus 4 others we were told, the 4 didn't turn up, they missed an amazing 2 hours. Our host was a young guy called Seb, he was absolutely great. Not know what to expect, he went through the plan and explained the beers, what they make on site, what they bring in, how the beers are made, history and you are brought 8 thirds to try in order. Time to discuss each one, the colour, the taste, the origin. He was very knowledgeable and really made a great experience, would recommend this masterclass.

First of all came in and it was very friendly service. Ordered boneless chicken strips and when it’s came out it was the bone chicken wings. I went up to the waiter to say about this and he sighted not very nice about it even though it was their mistake. When the boneless chicken strips finally arrived they were dripping with water and falling apart. Overall terrible food and service won’t come again.

We hired a space here for my 30th birthday and it was perfect! We had exclusive use of the canope area and were able to decorate the space and play our own playlist, which made the event feel really personal and fun. The staff were absolutely lovely and made sure everything ran smoothly. The food was great, and the beer/cocktails kept everyone happy. Highly recommend this venue for anyone thinking of hiring a space for a party or event (plus the doggos can join in). A special mention to Zechariah who helped the vision materialise by meeting with me beforehand and corresponding to my 100 emails and questions. Super star!

Cannot recommend this place highly enough. Came here for lunch this afternoon with my wife, dog and baby daughter. From the moment we arrived nothing was too much trouble. The bar staff were lovely, offering a high chair for the little one and even some dog biscuits for our lab! The staff were also very knowledgeable about their drinks and even gave my wife a free sample to try! (Which was delicious). The food was affordable and great portion sizes. The fish finger sandwich particularly went down an absolute treat! Thanks guys!

Very disappointing experience at the Brewhouse for Father's day. We were sat down at our table and we ordered our drinks which were supposed to include a free pint of beer and single shot of whisky. The waiter told us that is was only half a pint and walked off. We had to go to the counter and show the actual advert, they reluctantly agreed. Our drinks arrived and no whisky. We called them back over and eventually the whisky arrived. The whole situation appeared intentional to not give the free drinks. The food arrived relatively quickly and we were again disappointed (photo added), there was a small portion of vegetables and even less gravy. They refused to add more vegetables and reluctantly brought over a small additional portion of gravy. Before we could ask for any sauces, they walked off again. I then had to go and ask for them. I wouldn't have minded if it had been very busy, it wasn't at all. We've been here for the last 4 father's days, unfortunately it will be our last.

I've been coming here for decades, when it was the Mochyn Du - only one of two pubs that served Leffé on draught.. There's always a friendly crowd here in large and spacious in and outdoor areas. My visit on 20/6/25 was distasteful as the queue was long, but people were getting served at a good pace, however; when I got served at 5.55, the pleasant young lady said the 6pm happy hour had finished!? There were other customers frustrated by this too. We left early due to this disappointment.

Our visit was rather limited as 4 of us went to the bar and as part of the order wanted 2 pints of Erdinger on draft. The barmaid started pouring it into a straight glass so we prompted could have the correct glass. She said they didn’t have any clean so we said we didn’t want one then. She rolled her eyes so rather than have confrontation all 4 of us walked out. We ended up in a pub a few doors away with pleasant service and great staff attitude with a £100 spend through the evening. If you don’t or cant provide the correct glass for a “premium” beer at a premium price then don’t sell it or go out of your way to ensure you have clean ones. This was capped off with the barmaids attitude resulting in this review. We were mature people looking for a nice pleasant experience that we didn’t get. Shame on you on this occasion.

I first visited this pub in 2007 when it was a Brains pub. Beer and food were good then. It closed down during Covid and remained closed for a year or so afterwards. Reopened in 2024 (?) under new ownership. It's a tradition pub with interesting unique exterior and cosy interior. Outdoor seating in fine weather. Lagers, Guinness etc and usually two real ales on handpull. Limited food at certain times but always well kept real ales at typical city centre prices. Usually my first port of call for a beer when in Cardiff.

Despite this, it remains a popular choice due to its spacious layout across multiple levels, efficient service, and welcoming environment for events like remembrance gatherings for veterans.
We had a couple of drinks in here before the Oasis concert! Obviously it was absoutely heaving but the staff were very friendly and the service was quick! Good use of plastic cups!

Will always have this place in my heart. The food is always amazing, and it takes about 10-20 minutes to come. It was not too expensive. It is easily accessible and has a lift. They also have toilets etc.

Extremely busy, low staff numbers, waited 40 minutes for our drinks (2 x pints of coke), waited an hour and 15 minutes for food! Extremely hot inside, no air conditioning. Tables hadn't been cleared at all during our 2 hour visit. Staffing levels needs to be better, especially when events are happening!

Don't normally leave bad reviews, but... So bad. Mostly about cleanliness levels. Had to ask four or five times for someone to wipe a table. Mess everywhere. Couldn't enter my pin number on the card machine when I paid because the buttons were sticky. Paid on a different machine and although successful, the pin machine buttons were also sticky. So gross. Couldn't finish my food. If the areas you can see are this bad, I couldn't help wondering what this kitchen was like. Conscious it's a busy site but food cleanliness needs to be maintained as a bare minimum.

Porter's is by far my favourite place to go on a night out! The free live music is always top quality and groovy (videos and pictures from last year or so attached). The atmosphere is always so uplifting and I always leave dancing. The staff are lovely, drinks are really affordable and they even do student deals. If you are a student, visiting or living in Cardiff and haven't been, make this bar a top priority to visit!

Another semi hidden pub in the heart of city centre which is well worth a visit. There’s always something on during the week, open mic night, live music, and I believe comedy shows. If you go early on a weekend (after 4pm) it can be fairly quiet. They even have a small area with some classic video games to play.

Nestled in the heart of Penylan, Three Brewers has long been a beloved spot for locals and students alike. Once a bustling hub during its days near Cardiff Met, this pub transitioned into the Sizzling chain before closing its doors in July 2019. Despite that change, it embodies the classic local pub vibe with affordable meals and a selection of beers that keep patrons coming back.
This place is my regular for food and drink. The staff are great especially Lisa she's an absolute darling and will go above and beyond, Jess is the best chef and Charlotte is such a laugh and always makes the effort. Love it!

It was a bit foreboding at first. It has the look of an estate pub, the type with a flat roof typical of rough areas, but this is not the case. Inside it was comfortably furnished and having found a place where we felt we would like to eat and chat we ordered a couple of meals and drinks. I would say it was no better or worse than J.D. Wetterpants in terms of quality and value for money. Not busy during the early afternoon. There isn't much nearby as the area is very residential to one side with the nearby Newport Rd and all of its shops and outlets to the South.

Go here quite regularly but following our visit last Friday 23rd March we will not be returning. The food was disgusting and the service just as bad. Fish so over cooked that it was dry and the batter a dark brown I had to ask the barman if they could make a BLT as it was not on the menu I had to explain that a BLT consisted of bacon, lettuce and tomato in a baguette or sandwich he went and asked the chef who said yes. A chicken club sandwich was served instead with cold grilled chicken. The barman asked if we were happy with our meals we said no for the reasons above he said 'O I will tell the cook' that was the last we saw of him until he served the table next to us with the nicest looking piece of fish with a golden batter at this point we got up to leave and one of our party approached the barman to reiterate our complaint and his response was '''Yeah sorry about that'.

Nestled on City Road, The Poets Corner was once a vibrant hub of activity and entertainment. Established in the early 1900s, it originally bore the name Ruperar Arms before becoming affectionately known as Poets Corner or simply PCs. This beloved pub thrived particularly during the 1980s as a popular music venue, drawing crowds with its lively atmosphere.
Nothing too amazing but a pleasant, easy place to have a cooked lunch. Sometimes feels a bit understaffed but the staff that are there are friendly and helpful.

Cardiff Castle, located in the heart of the city, is a captivating blend of Victorian Gothic architecture and ancient history. Built on the remnants of Norman and Roman ruins, this popular tourist attraction offers visitors a glimpse into its two millennia of history. The castle features a magnificent 12th-century keep and opulent 19th-century Gothic Revival interiors designed by renowned architect William Burges.
Nice experience. Very lovely staffs. Inside is quite spacious like a mini park. Totally enjoyed the time. Guided tour is available for certain restricted part of the castle. Got a very nice panoramic view of the city from the tower. Highly recommend climbing it. Stairs are quite steep though. Gotta be careful. A very interesting stall named 'Fund your name in the history or something' was there. Kids love that stall. Overall highly recommended.

Definitely worth the trip to the castle. The views from the top are amazing. Quite steep steps to go up to the top though. I would also recommend doing the tour for the extra money. The tour takes you to some extra places that you are not allowed to go on with a standard admission ticket. You will need to look at the times when the tours take place before you go.

Cardiff Castle was a fantastic experience. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the grounds felt like a peaceful mini park in the heart of the city. I joined a guided tour to explore the stunning Castle Apartments, including the ornate Arab Room and Roof Garden — absolutely worth it.

The castle’s mix of rich history, beautiful architecture, and family-friendly atmosphere makes it a must-visit. Highly recommended!

Lovely castle at the heart of Cardiff city centre. One of the most well-preserved castles we visited. We visited on a weekday so it was not too crowded. The highlight was walking through the WW2 air raid shelter. The posters, the darkness and the sound effects from the speakers really enhanced our experience and we felt as if we travelled back in time. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our visit and we highly recommend it as a must see when you visit Cardiff.

We visited The Corner House during a August bank holiday weekend trip in Cardiff. Prior to the trip I’d done some research and found that the Corner House’s menu looked rather appealing therefore decided to book a table on the Tuesday evening to dine there. We were slightly early upon arrival from our reserved time however there were plenty of places to sit and we were quickly shown to a downstairs table. The venue looked clean and presentable and there were a few other people in during the time of our visit however it wasn’t overly crowded or busy. The service was good and the waitress was quick to take our orders. Overall, I’d say the service was quick and we didn’t seem to be waiting long between courses. They were also prompt to bring the bill when requested and to take payment which is good. The menu items were a little on the pricy side depending on what you ordered therefore I expected it to be good decent tasty food. Unfortunately, I didn’t feel this was the case although all of the food was nice it didn’t exactly wow me or bowl me over and left me feeling a little disappointed. To start I opted for the Pan Fried King Prawns at £10.50 which were tasteless, didn’t really taste of anything. The main was slightly better, I ordered Signature Duo of Pork at £21.25 and I did request the dish with additional scallops but they didn’t have any which was disappointing. The dish itself however was nice. My partner opted for the ‘dirty burger’ and at £21.50 you’d probably expect it to be something special however upon arrival it looked just like any other burger you’d get from any restaurant nothing overly special about it at all. I opted for dessert and had Toffee Crème Brulee at £9.75, not sure what I was expecting with this, the menu said strawberries and there were no strawberries on the plate I’m guessing they didn’t have any. The portion size seemed rather small considering how much I paid for it and once again wasn’t anything special about it. Unfortunately, I don’t believe the food here lives up to the expectations, although it was nice that’s all I can really say about it. Perhaps if I had chosen different dishes my experience would have been better. However, from what we did eat I believe it to be over priced especially the burger my partner opted for. The price point doesn’t really reflect the taste I expected, I thought it would be food I’d rave about for ages afterwards but it was quickly forgettable. In the end perhaps my expectations were too high on this occasion the menu over delivered but in reality, the food under delivered for me. Once again this is just my opinion but I wouldn’t recommend or visit this venue again.

Absolutely loved this place. I had the port & cheddar mushrooms to start and the chargrilled gammon steak for mains — both were excellent. The steak was grilled to perfection, with just the right amount of seasoning and char, far better than the usual pub standard. Everything felt well balanced, especially the flavours and textures. What really stood out was the attention to detail — not just in the food, but also in the overall service. The staff were kind and professional, and the atmosphere was warm and relaxed. You can tell they care about the customer experience. If you’re looking for a casual but high-quality lunch, this is definitely a spot worth visiting.

I was excited for the menu with all the environmental options and promising vegetarian for me and meat for others in our party. Unfortunately it was a huge disappointment - but they did fix one thing, which was appreciated - and they had two good things: the halloumi fries and chips - so perfect! The burger was over burned, they replaced it and he liked it. But the Mac and cheese was completely bland like they forgot the cheese, - the onion rings were undercooked and oily, and - the pesto asparagus was bitter and tough. They said they’d make me more, but never did and I was tired so didn’t chase it. I did tell them the new burger was good and appreciated. We paid a lot of money for all of that and it was disappointing to send it back. I hope they improve.

Absolutely fantastic restaurant! Partner and I have been on a bit of a mission to find the best burgers in Cardiff, and for us, this place wins by a mile. They never disappoint, even when busy. Staff are friendly, service is great, the place has a great vibe, and the food is absolutely fantastic. Really appreciate that they have good toilets, that are kept really clean too! Even when busy, the place doesn't feel cramped and you can still have a conversation, so great for team meals too. Definitely recommend giving their Hog Father burger a try! Its brilliant. But then their large sharing platter is fantastic value and packed with delicious meat and sides too! I really appreciate that their fries and slaw are just delicious as well! Whenever there's a new burger place to try now, we usually end up not going just because we dont think it can beat this place and we will end up regretting not going here! Thanks Smoke Haus, you are our go to now!

Came here Saturday with my partner. We arrived at about 4 pm and were seated straight away. Quite a few people there at this time but not rammed. Service was fast with drinks being served to us very quickly. We ordered plate a and plate b. I had plate b which was £40. Having been here a few times over the years and it being on point, I have to say on this occasion I was slightly disappointed. The brisket was a bit dry. The ribs were well smoked and had nice flavour but ribs on the small end of the rack were very hard. The beans were absolutely banging fairplay. The coleslaw was fresh and creamy but lacked any real flavour to be honest. There wings and pulled pork were really nice. For the price and considering it's a smoke house I expected the plate to be on point so was a bit of a lot down. Also I noticed the burger menu average price was £20!! That's very steep for burger and Fries in my opinion. Overall the experience this time was just OK. Staff were very nice and the service was great.

Haven’t been to the Plough for years for food, usually favouring the Villagio, Fox, or Fino. Due to the 40% discount on mains thought we’d give it another go. Service was decent but sadly the noise levels were unbearable and whilst the food was largely “okay” beware that a medium steak is more what I’d call very well done, dry. Also seemed pretty small portion of meat but maybe it shrunk due to overcooking. Not worth £19.50 before discount anyway.

Came here for some food whilst out shopping and I have to say the service was amazing as well as the food. I've never been here before but I now have a new local. There's plenty of seating outside and the inside offers a warm environment, especially now that it's cold. Amazing service from the barman Will. I will definitely be back!

The staff at the duke have been absolutely fantastic on my visit. Warm and welcoming, nothing to much for them and it seems to be a very well oiled machine. On top of this the food was outstanding for pub grub, I went for the tuna jacket, very impressed with the presentation, and the taste was fantastic. My partner loves burgers so went for the cowboy burger, and he demolished it. I’ll certainly be back to the Duke, thanks again to the welcoming staff.

Whether you’re popping in for a drink or staying for the entertainment, O’Neill’s on St Mary Street delivers a great night out. Highly recommend!

A decent place overall. The meat pie was excellent — tasty and well-prepared. The salad, on the other hand, wasn’t as good and felt a bit underwhelming. The wait for the food was quite long, which made us a bit anxious. It would be nice if things moved faster. Still, the atmosphere was pleasant and made the visit more enjoyable. Dog friendly.

On the way to train station and called in for something to eat...was bit late for breakfast and too early for lunch but fortunately O' Neill's serve all day. I really liked the different choices on the menu. And food was very tasty and very little wait time. Evenings are most likely geared to drinking, party nights and sporting events. But definitely a good spot for breakfast or lunch.

Tom Hughes is an absolute gem! The food is consistently excellent – fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Whether you're after a hearty meal or just something light to go with your drink, the menu hits the mark every time. What really sets this place apart, though, are the pints. Perfectly poured, every time – crisp, cold, and exactly how they should be. You can tell they take real pride in the quality of their pours, and it shows. Friendly staff, great atmosphere, and top-notch food and drink – Tom Hughes is everything you want in a local spot. Highly recommended!

Located in the heart of Cardiff city center, The Cardiff Stable is a popular pub offering two floors of top-notch service. Established in 2009, this pub is renowned for its wide selection of over eighty different types of cider sourced from large and small orchards. It's not just about the drinks though; the industrial-chic aesthetic and sports appeal make it a favorite among sports enthusiasts. The interior, food, and drinks all contribute to the overall satisfaction of patrons.
Lovely warm welcome upon arrival, wasn’t sure what lager to order and was offered a sample which I obliged. Ordered one lager, margarita pizza and a side salad total was £20.30 Lager was very nice and different from the usual brands. The pizza was made with fresh dough, and cooked to perfection. Salad was also nice and a very generous portion. A well deserved 5 stars 🌟

If I could recommend this place a thousand times, I would! We booked a table before going to the Utilita Arena, I would highly recommend booking in advance if you’re going to an event because it can get busy. There are QR codes on the table for you to order but unfortunately ours didn’t work, so we had to go to the bar to order. I had the Green Machine Mac & Cheese which was delicious. My partner had the Rocket Man pizza which he said was great, it was quite big but it was thin so not too filling. We also had to have the tater tots which are always among the best I’ve ever had!! It was busy when we arrived, but service was still impeccable and we didn’t wait too long for food. If I’m ever in the arena for an event, I absolutely will be coming here.

Bottomless brunch is really good value for money. As a group of 5 we shared bowls of tater tots, garlic bread and nachos to start. This was probably enough food, but then also had a pizza each! The staff were great, really friendly and helpful. I think our waiters name was Evan and he was exceptional. We had booked a table on a day there was a big concert in the castle so everywhere was extremely busy, however this did not reflect in the service. We didn’t have to wait long for our food or drinks.

The Conway is a trendy pub that offers a daily blackboard menu featuring modern Welsh and European cuisine. The revamped interior resembles a cozy living room with comfortable seating and plenty of books. The menu showcases fresh twists on classic dishes such as roasted fish with chorizo, pork and apricot sausage rolls, and mushroom risotto. This gastro pub boasts a decent selection of beers and ales on tap, along with good service and inventive offerings like roasted salmon with beetroot.
Great place! Friendly and kind staff. Great food quality. We felt very comfortable eating inside. There are some tables outside too. We had the chorizo scotch egg(with roasted garlic alioli), fish and chips and focaccia BLT. Not expensive at all. Highly recommendable!

Four of us visited in March and 12 of us in April, for lunch and a couple of pints. Service and food were excellent on both occasions. Really good pub food, exceptionally friendly staff and a casual, warm feel to the place.

Glassworks is a modern and spacious pub and restaurant located in a busy side street in the city center. It offers a comfortable atmosphere with plenty of seating, stylish decor, and large windows that let in lots of natural light. The bar serves an excellent selection of beers, ales, and drinks, making it a great spot for watching sports on the several wide-screen TVs. The menu features delicious comfort food and snacks, with the fish & chips being particularly recommended.
Dined solo on a Tuesday. Busy but plenty of seats - appreciated some two seats high tops at the front which were perfect for me, along with medium and larger table options. Order food at the bar, reference your table number. Enjoyed their bitter ale with a steak and ale pie, with mash and garden peas (also option for chips or mushy peas). Accidently was given chips instead of mash - took a few minutes extra, but kind staff had no issue to correct. Tasty pie, though quite thick crust and would've enjoyed a tad more meat inside. Very nice wine sauce served with it. Visiting Cardiff but would definitely come again.

Nice pub venue in the centre of Cardiff. Short staffed but the guy behind the bar was very helpful and friendly. The food was pub food but pretty decent. The steak was small and didn't look great but tasted ok. 4* given when considering venue and food compared to other chain pubs.

We had a lovely pre-gig pub lunch here, meeting extended family in December 2024. There was a great varied menu with lots of choices at good affordable prices and we were lucky to grab a table as people were leaving, but I’d recommend making a booking as we went past the prior evening and it was still bustling with business. Despite the roaring trade, service was quick and arrived promptly. It was a decent portion size and tasty. I’d definitely choose this again for an affordable eat close to the Utilita Arena.

The food was delicious, and delivered quickly, and the drinks were very tasty too! There was a slight confusion with one of the drinks orders, but this was rectified promptly. I was unfortunate to leave a personal belonging on the table, and didn't realise until I was far away from the venue, but Ryan was very helpful in reuniting me with my lost item, so extra thanks to him. 10/10 would recommend if you're looking for a reasonably priced place to eat/drink.

A £10M refurb, a bigger kitchen and a fresh/new vibe can't stop the kitchen from serving frozen onion rings and slaw that tasted like it was made from 2-week old cabbage. It also can't stop the bar serving flat beer at £6.50 a pint. Some of the staff were like zombies, also. Had an even worse experience in the Didcot one a few months back. It aint cheap, either, for what it is. Get it together, guys!

The Flora is a lively and modern pub located in Cardiff, offering a beer garden with local craft brews, cocktails, and updated comfort food. It's known for serving scrumptious roast dinners with a variety of flavorful meats or a veggie option accompanied by an enormous Yorkshire pudding and an inspiring selection of vegetables. The pub welcomes dogs inside and in the sun-trap garden where patrons can enjoy pool games and succulent cocktails.
Hands down the best Sunday roast we’ve ever had. The beef was incredibly flavourful and juicy, and the chicken was perfectly marinated—packed with flavour and cooked just right. The Yorkshire puddings were a highlight, generously filled with roast beef bits, and the vegetables were nicely spiced and well-prepared. The only slight letdown was the roast potatoes, which could’ve been crispier and weren’t fresh, and there was no ketchup available. Still, the meal was so delicious overall that we’ll definitely be back!

I had a fantastic experience at The Flora Pub, thanks to the incredible service from Dan and Ellie behind the bar. Both were warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive throughout the evening. Dan knows his craft – he made great recommendations and mixed drinks with real skill. Ellie was just as impressive, keeping everything running smoothly with a smile and making sure no glass stayed empty for long. It’s rare to find bartenders who strike the perfect balance between friendly and professional, but Dan and Ellie nailed it. Their energy added so much to the atmosphere and made the night feel special. I’ll definitely be back – and hoping they’re working when I do. Cheers!

Went for Sunday roast - and arrived not long after noon. First off the veggie roast no longer comes with Yorkshire pudding (shock horror! - but I was able to add one for and extra £1. I was impressed when my plate of food first arrived. It looked like a truly edible feast. However, the nut roast was a bit sloppy and had red peppers in it - which was not to my taste - but which others may enjoy. Unfortunately the roast potatoes ( the absolute heart of a Sunday roast!) were hard and tasted mostly of oil. It must be difficult to make roast potatoes en masse and keep them tasting fresh because it seems that restaurants have a difficult time getting them right. Veggie gravy tastes like bog standard Bisto - ‘just add boiling water’ stuff - which was disappointing because I loved the Flora’s veggie gravy from a couple of years ago which was served with a celeriac roast then. The star of the roast was a side of tenderstem broccoli served with wild fresh garlic and a pesto butter - which I could happily have eaten all day.

Worst bottomless brunch I’ve had. The brunch its self was in a quiet room upstairs away from the atmosphere of the bar. We started are brunch at 8pm and there was one other group there at the time it just had no vibe there. The drinks were very slow and after waiting awhile for another order my friends went to the bar its self and tried placing an order but were told the server would be over in a minute and to wait and that took an extra 5 minutes. After that the service was a bit better with drinks at least. I kept asking where the food was and it didn’t turn up till 9:30pm when we started at 8pm. The food was pre ordered as well which made it more confusing why it took so long. The food was all cold apart from one of my friends where it was slightly warm. My friend did complain about the food and we had a discount off the price which was good and a tray of free shots. We were told the other table had also complained of the food being cold and at the start of the night a group of girls who saw us coming in said it was awful and there food was cold as well. I’d be more underwing if they were busier but it was quiet and the fact it was pre ordered made me more annoyed. I definitely will not be coming back again for the brunch but the bar downstairs did have a good vibe, I’d recommend going here after a brunch somewhere else.

Had a fantastic experience in The Philharmonic for my best friend’s hen do, there were 16 of us so we were a big group. Plus it was Saturday on a rugby day so it was super busy. We booked for bottomless brunch and the experience was great we all had back to back drinks about 7 per person and the food was out at once and all hot/tasty. We were all super happy, big thank you to the young girl serving us, we were a rowdy group but she was attentive and kept the drinks flowing!

The experience was genuinely awful. First, I was charged a £120 deposit after increasing my booking from 10 to 12 people (double the original £50 deposit with no explanation, despite asking three times). On arrival, we were given three separate tables scattered around the room — despite booking for one group. When I raised this with a staff member, she was rude, dismissive, wouldn’t make eye contact, and rolled her eyes at colleagues. We asked to move to a round table that could actually seat us together — only to find it covered in vomit. We reported it, expecting a proper response, but got another eye roll and the bare minimum of cleaning. More vomit was later found behind cushions and on the floor. Staff called us “high maintenance” for asking for basic hygiene — WE CLEANED UP SOMEONE ELSES VOMIT ON OUR TABLE. The same staff member later accused us of only submitting 4 food orders (we booked for 12), dropped her pen on one of my guests, didn’t apologise, and continued ignoring questions while writing on her clipboard. When I asked who to speak to about all this, she shrugged and said, “The head office is in London – not my problem.” We had ONE drink in the first hour of a bottomless brunch, the food arrived cold, and the staff were consistently rude. Totally unacceptable service, poor hygiene, and a complete lack of professionalism. Would not return and don’t recommend.

Great beer on tap and a really nice vibe. The staff were super friendly and recommended some brilliant drinks — loved every one of them! Definitely coming back next time I’m in Cardiff 🍻

Team away day and ended up here. Food was good and plentiful. I had the chilli loved fries and was more than enough on the plate. Menu had, pizza, gyros, burgers and different loaded fries. Live music on and we were told before we ordered incase we all wanted somewhere quiet. Great food, great different Ales and if you're after a night out with Live music, would highly recommend.

What a great place! The food was really good and I found it hard to choose from such an amazing selection of beer. The bar staff, Louise, helped me choose and was a great recommendation. She was funny and made the visit more than worth it. Really enjoyed my visit and I will definitely go again.

Whenever I am in town and want to meet up with someone for a drink, I always recommend Head of Steam. Classic pub feel but still feels like a modern establishment. Staff have always been very friendly and quick to serve. They have a great selection of beer and cider which allows me to try something different every time. These two things keep me coming back time and time again, highly recommend dropping by for a drink.

Pub
The Packet is a charming pub located in Tiger Bay, Cardiff. It has been a part of the area's history since 1864 and stands out from the modern bars and restaurants in Cardiff Bay. The pub is named after the packet ships that transported mail to and from British outposts. With its original finishes, stained-glass windows, and a beer garden, it exudes a traditional Cardiff Docks vibe.
Best pub in the Bay . Since the new management we’ve become regulars again. It’s now so welcoming & friendly. You can even bring the dog! Thank you to Tracy & the team for great service & the best pint of Guinness! Two satisfied customers here 👍

What a gem of a pub located in Cardiff Bay. A traditional old school pub with pictures of the docks and Cardiff from yester years. Great selection of tasty beers. Friendly staff that assisted in drink selections as well as telling us about the venue and its recently celebrated 160th year history. If you are looking for a traditional pub experience with great value, defo worth a visit.

Never used to come to the Packet but since the new management has taken over, it has become a bit of a local for us! Tracey and her team cannot do enough for us when visiting. The atmosphere was insane on our last visit - the live singer was phenomenal. Great deals on bottle beers and shots! Worth it for an authentic drink in the bay with character and charm!

I visited the Packet on a Monday afternoon. It made a nice change from all the (Mostly) big name places to eat in the Bay. A 160 year old traditional pub with a good selection of drinks, friendly chatty staff, and a small outside garden, only a few minutes walk from the main bay area. If you are looking for a traditional drinking pub in the bay area, away from the hustle and bustle of the big restaurants in the bay, I would strongly recommend this Pub.

A traditional pub that dates back 180 years to when Cardiff Docks were just starting off. It’s been remodelled over the years but still retains that proper pub feel. More than that - the beer is first class and the staff - led by the landlady - are always friendly and cheerful making you feel that serving you is a pleasure. A five star rating doesn’t do it justice!!

Didn't have food so no comment. Came down for a show at the millennium center poped in for a drink and a wee. Talked to the nice lady before hand, loved her and came back to see the nice lady after the show. I now know shes the Landlady and when I offered to buy her a drink she said to give it to the staff. Lush pub, lush atmosphere, lush staff, and as a barmaid myself a fluffing lush boss. Loves it!!!!!

Sticky Fingers Street Food is an informal and lively venue that offers a variety of international dishes from different vendors. It started as a pop-up in Truffles on Church Street in Cardiff and has since expanded to host street food events and kitchen takeovers across South Wales. The bar hosts a rotating lineup of traders, including Keralan Karavan, Kapow, and Fire and Flank, offering diverse options like burgers, tacos, ribs, and steak with Latin American flavors.
Had the best chicken I’ve ever tasted here from Ychafi, so juicy and full of flavour! Highly recommend trying any of them as they all sound incredible but here I had the Nashville Hot wings and the NY Buffalo loaded tray. So scrummy, especially with the cocktails from the bar which came at a good deal and super sweet! Great fitting atmosphere as well.

The food is lovely and if you enjoy the street food vendors of Cardiff then it’s a great spot to support them. However, and this is a big however, the so called “owner” (the guy who seats you) is so awful at customer service. He is abrasive and has left a bad taste in our mouths about being at the venue. Again, the food traders saved the evening so we hope they are being paid fairly. The night (albeit a 6 nations night) started at 7:30 and the place was understandably busy. We had booked a table (this was sold as a “6 nations table) for 4 people to watch the game. The game in which only 2 people could watch as the seating was tucked away in the corner of the venue with one small tv facing just 2 of the table. How this is acceptable I don’t know? When we asked to move the answer simply was you booked a table, this is a table, and if we didn’t like it there were pubs called The Albany and The Royal George we could go to. Frankly, as someone who has been to these places they are much more accommodating and nicer places to drink with better quality beverages too. Save your money and only support business who want your custom. By the sounds of the so called owner those places are The Albany and the royal George!

Ideal if you want to eat but not sure what! There are multiple vendors so lots to pick from and they always change so you’ll never get bored of having the same thing when you go there. Fairly cheap drinks as well because it is in a student area

Had 4 steak and mash from Fire & Flank. Absolutely amazing mashed potato and steak and the steak was cooked perfectly. 5 star At the same time, ordered the New York buffalo sandwich From Ychafi. Again, this sandwich was pretty awesome and tasty. 5 Star The reason I didn’t order from Sin Nombra is I observed whilst they’re not busy the two chefs are wearing hoodies Which is not necessarily a bad thing, but in my opinion doesn’t look good in the kitchen. Also observed when not cooking Both chefs were on their phones And also the one without the glasses and looks younger With dark hair was constantly scratches his face. 2 Star

Id Give this place a solid 4.5 out of 5. Has been on my list of places to go for a while, so I took the opportunity to organise a bro date here. Atmosphere was awesome. Went on a Friday night and to fill up such a big space outside of the centre was quite impressive, but at no point felt like I was rubbing shoulders with strangers. Bit of a pale Ale snob myself and they indeed offered me with a Great choice of Local pale ales and beers. When I say that, I mean ACTUALLY FROM CARDIFF 🤯. Staff were chatty, and knew their stuff about the products they sold. 5/5 as far as the bar goes. Also ate here, having the 2 meats, 2 sides option at the texas bbq joint here. Slightly pricey, but I was willing to splash for a good BBQ feast. It looked great and the pickles were pretty awesome, but I could only give this a 4/5 I'm afraid. Bbq sauce was a bit sickly sweet, and this is personal preference obviously, but the crinkly fries just reminded me of McCains microwave chips (but were cooked to perfection). It was good, but I can't help feeling like it fell into the realm of average. Still worth the money though. Overall worth a visit, expecially for drinks. I feel like most people would give this a 5 across the board, I'm just pedantic. I'll definitely be visiting again though, that says enough.

Always delicious beer - the bohemian pilsner was my all time favourite, but the Vienna they have now is absolutely lovely as well. Always crisp and flavourful. My partner is partial to the California pale ale.

Terrible smell of urine and BO inside! Food nothing like what I had ordered. Everyone smoking and vaping in the non smoking outside space. One of the worst pubs I have been too in 40 years. No one cared Avoid if possible. Worst basic real ale beer choice than in my Wetherspoons local in Essex but was cheaper and OK quality. It was quick but definitely get what you pay for.

The way my disabled girlfriend was made to walk home for 10 minutes and come back to get her ID that she forgot - by your barman with glasses. So she walks home comes back to her pint and he doesn’t even bother to check her ID at all so he just wanted her to vanish momentarily and as I’m writing this he never came back. She is a person of colour, clearly over the age of 18, and sending people away with no care to check if they can even be there just indicates that age verification is more of an exercise of power than a practical tool to prevent visible minors from drinking underage. Walking all the way the other end of city road and back just for nobody to really care if she had it or not. Calm down. Never had an experience this controlling here before and other staff are alright, been a semi regular for long time. But this was beyond knowing she could have came out and came back in and had nobody notice because nobody is that invested in the process

Vile experience here. I got attacked by a woman who threw a glass at my head but I was the only one kicked out for ‘not reporting it’ soon enough (maybe because I was in shock!!!) They also said they were kicking me out for being on drugs never done drugs in my life so that is CRAZY! I told them to look on the camera to see the woman attacking me completely unprovoked and they refused to do so which is shocking. I’ve visited this pub for years and after this experienced I cried my eyes out for hours I can’t believe how vile this treatment was. Drinks are fine but DO NOT GO HERE if you want to be treated like an actual human.

Walkabout Bottomless Brunch – A Complete Shambles I booked Walkabout’s bottomless brunch expecting a fun afternoon with good food and flowing drinks, but it turned into a complete mess. Service was painfully slow, food was poor, and staff repeatedly blamed the situation on being “short-staffed.” That excuse didn’t hold up when we could clearly see staff spending time on personal chats and phone breaks instead of serving customers. When I asked to speak to a manager, he promised to bring over jugs of drinks (which wasn’t what we asked for) but even that promise never happened. It summed up the whole experience — empty promises, poor service, and no accountability. This brunch felt more like endless waiting than anything “bottomless.” Definitely not worth the money and I would not recommend it to anyone.

Food: Flavour- 10/10 Portions- 10/10 Price: overpriced but good quality. We ordered a main and one pint each and it was over £50. Was great to go somewhere with a massive selection of a brewer that we know and love. Also loved we could take our dog in! She loved it a lot. A bit loud- but that’s a given in the evening, so if you’re happy with lots of food while you eat- it’s not an issue. Partner LOVED the adult hoppy meal, brilliant gimmick! Plus the little pin was a great take away. However, the service was a hilariously low- the server was completely disinterested in us and when we chose not to tip- because you pay before you even get the service, they just said ‘okay yeah fair enough’. So a bit awkward… but oh well! Just unsure how they think you can you tip before service? Other than that recommend to any BrewDog fan.

This is a pretty big place, with multiple areas to choose from - there's a cozy area by the bar, an open and a closed one skirting the beer garden, and the beer garden itself. The food served is surprisingly good and the on-tap drinks options uncommonly varied. Four Elms seems to be mainly frequented by locals, giving it a great unique charm and ambience. Sporting events are always screened with a baffling amount of available TVs to enjoy the events on (15+). There's no table service, although the food is brought to the table once ready, but the bar staff is fast and always nice. Highly recommended. Edit 2024: Stable quality, same experience.

Used toilets and had i seen toilets prior to ordering food I would have walked out. Ladies were absolutely filthy, toilets seat hanging off with no toilet paper and second toilet seat was putrid, this was at 13.15pm, not long after opening, these toilets had not been cleaned properly for some time to be that bad in a couple of hours. I hope after seeing this these toilets are brought up to standard and maintained that way otherwise I will report this.

I absolutely love dead canary. It’s one of the best cocktail bars in Cardiff and for sure worth a visits. They offer a unique menu of cocktails to choose from in an amazing relaxed setting. The bartenders are also very friendly and willing to make a classic cocktail or get creative and make something else that suits your taste that isn’t on the menu.

What a fabulous speakeasy atmosphere this place presents. From the friendly welcome when you ring to enter, through to the classic and creative cocktails. The Welsh traditional stories linked to a range of cocktails makes the drinks menu feel like a book of discovery. I'm missing my pre-Trump visits to New Orleans but this place recreated that original first ever cocktail, the Sazerac, to rekindle fond memories. As for Walter and the Wreckers, that was a unique experience drinking out of a skull, instead of being drunk out of my skull! The furnishing and decor takes the imagination back a century to prohibition times. Good luck finding this place, but intrepid explorers are well rewarded. I must ask next time if they have live jazz sessiins, as it feels like the ideal place to fit the music. Perhaps the owners might provide the answer to this review?

To find the dead canary... to pressing the buzzer and eagerly waiting outside... to entering into the bar through the dark corridor... all just such fun!!! We had a great time cosying up into the chairs after being seated. The decor is like one of your Great Aunts living rooms... full of nick nacks... leading you to be able to stare into the room for hours and find something new to gaze over. Absolutely loved that every cocktail was based on a true story or local folklore. Each provided a chapter in a small book, "What lurks beneath the shadows" A truly fun and memorable experience. We hope to come back on a Saturday night when we'd think it'd be bustling amd bustling. As it was very quiet when we were there (was a Wednesday night) Thank you so much!!!

As it is a nice place to enjoy a cup of cocktail with different themes of Cardiff story, you read throughout the menu as if you were reading an old fashioned story book. Treasure this place and atmosphere, Cheers.

A quirky and unique experience. Love how unassuming the place is from the outside and the wow moment as you come in. The cocktails were imaginative and the menu so beautifully created with stories and artwork. It feels more than a bar, it’s an experience too. Friendly staff who are welcoming and chatty, as well as professional and know their stuff! Look forward to coming again in the future.

Had a lovely end to the evening visiting this place. The menu celebrated the Welsh seaside which was really great. Mine had edible pebbles which was a really nice touch, not too mention was also delicious, sadly I can't remember it's name 🙈 Also a great entrance and very cosy atmosphere, will return soon when I'm back in Cardiff.

Cocktail bar
Lab 22 is a trendy cocktail bar and speakeasy known for its eclectic style and molecular food and drink menu. It's a popular spot for post-work or pre-club cocktails, offering a unique experience with its two floors and roof terrace. The Main Stage Cabaret Bar hosts live music, cabaret, and drag acts, while The Kings is a modern bar attracting a young gay/lesbian/mixed crowd.
Came down for a work trip and was served by Sam, he took the time to educate and inspire our whole group. The service, vibe, and atmosphere were absolutely phenomenal. I cannot recommend a better venue, group of bartenders and bar backs. The level of detail and attention to the craft is outstanding and I will definitely make another trip in the future. Absolutely amazing and makes me jealous that as a bartender that I don’t work there. An inspiration to any aspiring bartender. Give Sam and the team a raise!!

We were recommended Lab22 by a waiter in another restaurant, and it was absolutely excellent. Lovely cocktail bar, tucked away with a “speakeasy” vibe. Knowledgeable and friendly staff, and superb cocktails - an excellent way to spend an evening.

The best cocktails! I had the “Grapes of Taft” tequila drinks with homemade grape soda and local grown wine. I then had a cocktail made with locally sourced rose hips! Cannot recommend this place enough - what a treat!

One of the best bars I’ve ever been to anywhere. Stunningly well thought out cocktails, fab service, and an incredible menu. I’d have happily have completed the menu if I hadn’t needed to dash off after a few rounds, but I would travel to Cardiff to specifically go to this bar. Go here; you won’t regret it.

Popped in briefly to check what the place was like and loved the vibes despite it being a very busy Saturday night with zero chance for seating. I had a Samba myself and it was very nice to drink. I will definitely be coming here again next time im spending time in Cardiff.

This is literally the best cocktail bar in Cardiff by far! We tried 4 different cocktails and enjoyed them all. Voyager was the best one in my view! I like it upstairs, it feels bit private and far from the crowd on the street. Staff are absolutely nice and helpful. We will definitely visit again!

Lovely place, especially for a nice romantic evening! The setting is gorgeous, the ambiance is what you need for a date or a ‘date night’ for a couple. Drinks are lovely, with ample choice. The prices are quite high, so can lead to an expensive evening.

Nestled in the heart of Cardiff, Rummer Tavern is a quintessential pub that perfectly captures the essence of British hospitality. With its charming Tudor-style exterior and inviting interior, this lively spot offers an array of pints and cocktails to enjoy while soaking up the vibrant atmosphere. Known for its live entertainment, including karaoke and sports on TV, it’s a fantastic place to unwind with friends.
Old fashioned pub with great service. No frills, absolutely what I wanted. Really warm welcome too. These old school boozers are a dying breed – truly a great pub

This used to be a lovely pub with a great atmosphere, great people, and lovely real ales. If you want decent beer, you won't find it here. They have John Smiths and an IPA that tastes like a child's fruit drink. Two sips and I wanted to throw up. I give service one star because I was served what I asked for, but everything else is a big zero. I realise now why I was the only one in there at about 7pm on a Monday.

Called into the Rummer Tavern for a light meal and a drink. I had the Cajun chicken dirty fries with a pint of strongbow fruit. Delicious cooked meal to order. Nicely served in a basket and liner. The service was welcoming, The Tavern was well decorated in Cardiff City FC colours. Good selection of meals and draft and bottled drinks. Perfect for meeting with friends, socializing, and predrinks before sporting and events in the heart of the city centre.

A large group of my colleagues were on a staff Christmas night out. We stopped in the tavern after our meal. My colleges all bout alcoholic drinks and a round of shots, but I was driving and ordered a tap water with ice. I was very disappointed that the bar staff charged me £2.30 for a pint of tap water. After my colleagues asking me why I paid for this, they pointed out that it’s against the law to charge for tap water. So over all disappointed and annoyed I had to pay for something that should be a feee service. There are many bars and pubs that are doing the designated driver scheme where they are giving discounted or free soft drinks, yet I’m paying for water.

We used to go to the Rimmer Tavern for Sunday lunch many years ago. We find out they were doing food under the new management. We both had the sizzler mixed grill with fresh produce from a local farm Wow the food was ample tasty and fresh. Too much to eat but really great pub food. Friendly staff.We will be returning!.

Tiger Tiger Cardiff is a vibrant and diverse club venue that offers an array of themed rooms, each with its own unique atmosphere. From the tropical paradise of Kanaloa Bar to the retro vibes of Decadia, there's something for everyone. The club boasts plush lounges, delicious grills, and funky retro escapes that transport guests across different eras and lands.
Not a place to go if you are non white. A Group of Black Guys booked a table as part of a Stag do and we were refused entry. The female staff member was accommodating and would of let us in, but the bouncers were intimidated by our presence. Another guy with long dark hair came over and advised he would call the Police if we did not leave and did not explain why. This club does not embrace its diverse clientele. Avoid.

huge disappointment with the Venue that was attended on Saturday. I have attended the venue many times before, where we were greeted at the door, taken to a dedicated VIP area and looked after. Drinks were on the table and all in all we had a great time. This was not the case this time around! When attending I told the door man that we had a table booked. He told me to go and see someone at the bar. After waiting for 15minutes, the bar tender told me to find a table and then come back for my drinks order. We found a table, but it was messy and other party goers were dancing on tables around us. We then waited another 15 minutes to get served. I asked for drinks to be bought to our table, but they said they didn’t do that. We then ordered 8 lagers, 2 ciders, gin & tonic and a whiskey. We asked for draught stout, but this was off. The selection was very, very poor. After starting to drink the lager (pilsner) we all thought that it tasted awful so went back the bar to complain. Again, we queued up and were told that we could have CANS instead, which were better. At this point I had enough and spoke to a manager and asked for our money back, but he said that he couldn’t do that, and we would have to request this via head office. He said that he would put me in a VIP area and reluctantly we agreed. It was so far removed from a VIP area, No heating, no entertainment and no atmosphere. We were then given 8 cans in an ice bucket, which tasted the same as the draft (Awful). We had a bottle of Rum, which was fine but to be honest by this time we just wanted to get out of there. So drank up as quickly as possible and left. Another group then entered the VIP area and left after about 10 minutes and even gave us their beers, which we didn’t drink as they were horrible. If I was to mark down my experience out of 10 it would be -10. Absolutely awful, I was very embarrassed that I took my guests there and will never attend again.

COMPLETE SHAMBLES. On Saturday night we attended Tiger Tiger Cardiff and had booked the karaoke booth for 2 hours from 10pm to midnight. Firstly we were shown to the booth to see it was filthy dirty and the floor was all wet. The worker there openly told us that the booth had not been cleaned as we entered but made no comment about apologising for this. Secondly, the booth was unbearably hot to the point each person had to go and stand outside every 5 to 10 minutes. We were advised the air con had broken in there but yet again no apology for the inconvenience. Nor were we advised at time of booking or in advance after the booking was made by anyone that this was the case. There was nothing but a small battery powered fan that we each had to pass around one by one to try and be able to stay in there and use the booth for karaoke. Thirdly, the woman that took us to the booth and explained the rules was also incredibly rude and kept telling us to shut up and even said she ‘just wanted to finish her shift.’ She couldn’t have been less welcoming and unapologetic. The fact we paid £200 for 2 hours in this state is completely unacceptable and we are all pretty disgusted. I am not normally someone to complain but this has given me no choice to contact you. It’s utterly appalling and none of us would return to your bar again because of it. It was our works summer due and quite frankly your organisation put a dampener on the end of the evening. Complete waste of £200 plus all the drinks we bought on top. Go and spend your money elsewhere this place is the biggest rip off!

I have visited before and had a good night although last weekend when I visited for my birthday with a group of friends, Me and a few others arrived first and we were let straight in without payment but when the rest of our party turned up (who were black&Mixed) minutes later they were refused entry and when they explained that half of the group had already been let in they were made to stand out in the rain till the bouncer decided to make them pay! Won’t be visiting again seeing as there is a race problem!

Booked a table for 12 for after the rugby, no issues on entry at about 9pm, table area decent, not too busy. Had a bar tab from the booking, again no issues with that, you could only buy cans!! Cans of cider that were small and cans of cheap Pilsner. Music was decent, everyone in good spirits from the rugby but total profiteering at the bar.

We received absolutely awful service at Tiger Tiger and would never go back. We’d booked a table and paid a deposit of £20pp but were made to wait outside in the rain for 15 minutes for a manager, who then said she would be unable to honour our booking as it was now 15 minutes after our booking time! We disagreed and explained that we had been waiting for her, and she begrudgingly took us to a table. She took our drink orders, which we then had to wait a further 20 minutes for (they were all simple spirit & mixer drinks). The female manager continued to talk down to and belittle us, despite the fact that she was in the wrong. We left as soon as we had finished our drinks, the atmosphere wasn’t great but we probably would’ve actually enjoyed it if it weren’t for the awful service. I’d avoid, every other bar and club we visited in Cardiff was miles better than Tiger Tiger.

Having sat at a table that was unreserved, ordered food and drinks, we were told at 7.30 that we had 5 minutes to leave the table as someone had just this minute phoned up and booked the table we were sat on. She said "we are asking you nicely" but it wasn't, it was rude and disrespectful. I said table isn't booked, we have paid money for food and drinks. She laughed, walked off and got the bouncer to threaten to forcibly remove us, including my disabled friend. What a joke of a place. Will not be going back. Very poor customer service. I think they must have a policy that if a customer isn't happy about something, get the bouncer over. Never has anything like this happened to me before. The hostess/front of house girl was particularly poor at her job, as no compromise or apology was offered. If I could give zero stars I would. Edit: manager never contacted me like they wrote they would below.

Positives Great drinks and good prices. Happy friendly staff. Negatives The First thing as we walked in was an awful smell of urine ! It was really strong. Used toilets and it smelt disgusting , like the sanitary bins hadn't been emptied in weeks. I complained to a duty manager . We were taken to our booth and paid for an hour and had about 50 mins by the time we entered the room. Won't be rushing back. Such a shame. What happened to this place ?

The Waterguard is a modern, bright and airy pub with two gardens that is dog friendly. It has limited seating so is popular for quick drinks or lunch but lacks the atmosphere of some other bars in the bay. The staff are stand-arounders with little to do, despite being full at 1pm on a Saturday.
Had a great fish and chips here again. It is a lovely pub in the Cardiff Bay area. Excellent outside seating which captures the sun when it is out. This is by far my favourite pub in the bay. They have an interesting range of beers from the Samuel Smith brewery. Chocolate Stout and the fruit beers are good, while the Organic Wheat beer packs a punch. As the selection of beers are from the Samuel Smith Brewery, it may not be for everyone. However, I recommend trying some fruit beers as these are good, but at first seem a strange concept. The thing to remember here is, the fruit is a hint of flavour and not over powering.

Came for lunch and was not disappointed. I had fish and chips, which was so delicious I could lick the plate. Very pleasant staff & Ben is an outstanding employee. The atmosphere was very chilled and nothing was too much to ask for. Ben is an asset to the company very passionate and very friendly. I will definitely recommend stopping here for a bite to eat. Very reasonable priced too.

This is a lovely pub right on the waterfront. It partly comprises the old custom house, hence the name and there are great displays inside commemorating both the move of the custom house and the legendary film Tiger Bay. The service was very friendly and the food was very nice and reasonably priced. There is a great selection of draught beers and a lovely seating area outside close to the water. Well worth a visit
