The 30 Best Bar pub in Cardiff

“What a lovely place. Owners are nice and the food and coffee is amazing. I was really surprised with this place, I think it’s probably the best caffe in Newport and I have tried all of them. Only found this place today. Will likely be a regular.”

“After a long drive, this was just the ticket. Excellent Big Breakfast with a decent cup of black coffee to wash it down. Enjoyed it enough to have the same the next morning, too. My companion, who is local, will be back, too. Yes, there are better breakfasts out there, but not necessarily better value. They are a lovely couple that run the cafe, too.”

“VISITED ON 26 AUGUST. GREAT PUB STAFF FRIENDLY. WELSH CIDER GREAT”

“The ambiance in this restaurant is first class. Ive dined there twice in the last year and the music selection / vibe was the first thing that I tuned into on both visits. Felt so welcome, special and looked after. The food was super tasty and an intriguing selection (would have been happy with anything on the menu really). Echo the comments in the other reviews on the Spinach gratin and short rib croquette. Cocktails visually decorative and well mixed and went down a storm with our party. Especially in Nightshade. Service excellent - Isabella (Italian)? Was fantastic with us but all staff very attentive. Simply can't wait to return.”

“The guy is a legend. Food is great too”

“Really great cafe. Great coffee, amazing food and decently priced. Got a real family feel, they can't do enough for you, will even let your order off menu if they can accommodate it. The food is seriously delicious, and it's just a warm chilled environment. Definitely worth a visit”

“Lovely friendly place, great breakfast.”

“The food and the cocktails were fantastic and our waiter Clev, was friendly and professional, and made our experience even more special.”

“The food was absolutely amazing. Ordered the Crispy Chicken Pad Thai, Beef Pad See Ew, and the Satay Chicken. Fast service, and fantastic customer service. Highly recommend going.”

“No rating for rooms as we just went in for breakfast/brunch. Great service, lovely Welsh breakfast. Sensibly priced, happy to recommend.”

“Went for an evening meal (kids - 10 and 13 - parents and grandparents). We all felt that it was an excellent meal. The service was fantastic and all staff were friendly and helpful throughout - it felt that everyone genuinely wanted us to have a good time and did everything they could to to achieve this! I have already recommended this pub to other people and we will definitely come back. Thank you very much.”

“Me and my partner have visited a few times for food and drinks and have been very impressed with food and atmosphere! Very reasonable priced and staff are very welcoming and friendly couldn't reccomend enough if it's for food or just a few drinks!”

“Really comfortable way to watch films. The bar area is very smart with a great atmosphere in the evenings. If you're having food it's best eaten at a table in the bar rather than off your laps in the dark! Less messy too.”

“Only came for drinks and wasn’t sure what to get. Can was amazing listened to what I liked and gave me a suggestion. Did not disappoint had an amazing time.”

“The place is very clean and tidy The chef and waitress is very helpful and keen to please. (A few old classics to help keep the place fresh and tidy”

“The bartender Eilir was amazing! We sat at the bar and we made up cocktails all night long, he handcrafted to our specifications. Would try again - amazing cocktails”

“We had a lovely meal here. The menu was fabulous and lots of choice. We particularly liked the paella, chicken skewers, prawns and peppers. Staff were amazing and a beautiful place inside and out. Highly recommended”

“I had a really enjoyable meal here last Tuesday evening. We were sat upstairs and the decor is fairly low key. It’s not fancy but it doesn’t need to be. On the way in I noticed some bar tapas so when the menu came we started by ordering one of each of all of the meat ones and a vege one. They were delicious and well presented. We coupled this with some beer and wine. John, our waiter, was super friendly, helpful and knowledgable about the food and wine. Made us feel really welcome and was on hand through the meal when we wanted more. We then ordered a round of hot and cold tapas. The standouts were the chorizo which was sooo soft. The mushrooms were also immense. Loved them. Wanted more! All the dishes were great. The calamari’s was a little dry and maybe needed a dip with it but it was a small footnote. Really enjoyed the meal and would 100% go back again.”

“Took my niece here today, my sister recommended this place before as an amazing alternative bar, popped in and Romi Lane was playing live she was brilliant, overall a great atmosphere and vibe! Staff friendly and professional, definitely have to go again.”

“Beautiful find . The bar maid open up the choc bloc gin and encouraged testers. It was nice to try new drinks. The bar staff so friendly its like walking into a friendly local . The band got everyone dancing . Everyone danced loved it .”

“Great little find! We followed the signs on the main road and was hoping for a homely pub. This pub was exactly that! Friendly staff, Great food and exactly what we needed after a long day being tourists around barry island and cardiff! Would highly recommend.”

“I’ve visited flight club twice, once with a group of friends and once for a works Christmas night out. Thoroughly enjoyed both times! After going the first time I knew it would be a great option for the Christmas do, and it was such a good laugh, we played over two boards, next to each other meaning you can still socialise with everyone. You can order drinks to the area but the bar was close by too. After we finished our session we went out to the rooftop area which was great, plenty of space and a great atmosphere. Although you’re outside there are plenty of heat lamps to keep you warm no matter the temperature.”

“Banging special pizzas from the owner.. great customer service paid 20£ for two 12” the owner gave me a can and 2 sauces for free !! I recommend red chilli 10/10 amazing!!”

“Came here with my parents for a social dining evening. The vibe was great, felt like an underground Spanish barn. We had lots of different food, my favourites were prawn bisque rice, Jamon Iberico, ox cheek and Cecina Caesar Will definitely be back”

“Hollie & Lili were amazing! Bottomless brunch for my cousins hen party. Drinks were tasty. Thank you for a fabulous time.”

“We visited Wed 22nd for a date night. It was sooo nice. The food was delicious, and the staff were great. One sauce top up was slow- But the staff had a difficult table next and the one girl said she was very new, to us so we appreciated them being under pressure. The table next to us were about 8 elderly people. They demanded quicker service as they were going to the theatre. They left saying they had waited 45 mins- They absolutely hadn’t, we were there before them and within 30 mins had ordered, and had drinks and starters. They ate all the bread (without covering any cost) then caused a scene leaving as their drinks were arriving. The staff dealt with it very well. The bourguignon was the nicest I’ve had, and my hubby demolished the mushroom side….. He doesn’t even like mushrooms! I must admit- If it hadn’t been for the Cardiff Devils discount we likely wouldn’t have visited- But we’ll definitely be back!”

“Simply stunning! We chose the set menu which is great. We ordered prawns, skewers, beef and chicken. This was accompanied by rice and greens Staff were really friendly and the food tasted superb. We loved the venue too, very different and worth a visit”

“Sam and the team are amazing, my kids are hard to please but this place has them so content and the food was more then 5 star I’m so happy I found this little secret it’s a must go to place when visiting Weston.”

“Always amazing service at Cote, Cardiff Bay. The food, decor, quick service if going to see a show, friendly staff and French vibe always makes this our go to. A special thank you to Kremena and Melissa!”

“Lovely evening celebrating my son’s 9th birthday. Food was fabulous, served fairly quickly and atmosphere was lovely and chilled. Nick our server was perfect, made a fuss of my son for his birthday, made us laugh and couldn’t have been a better host. Thank you so much!”
