The 30 Best Bar pub in Cardiff

“We visited the Marco Pierre White Steakhouse Bar & Grill several times during our stay in Cardiff, as it was part of the Indigo Hotel. We had breakfast and lunch there while staying at the hotel. The restaurant is centrally located in Cardiff, but it can be a little difficult to spot because it is located on the 6th floor of the Indigo Cardiff. Upon entering, you are greeted by a very stylish and modern restaurant with a lovely grand piano and plenty of seating for drinks before or after your meal. Breakfast was a very pleasant experience. There was a range of options on the continental buffet, and you also get a choice from their breakfast menu. I had "The Favourite," which is smoked salmon, eggs, and avocado on sourdough. It was divine. The continental buffet had everything you would want, including fruits, cereals, pastries, a variety of breads, and more. We then stopped for Sunday lunch, which I have to say was absolutely fantastic. I started with French onion soup, which was sensational. Then, my husband and I both had the Sunday roast. There was so much of it that I couldn't quite believe it when it was delivered to the table. There was so much meat, and the beef was amazingly tender. There was pretty much every side you could want, including Yorkshire pudding, stuffing, roast potatoes, and a huge array of vegetables, including amazing cauliflower cheese. The service was also fantastic from start to finish. The whole team was highly professional and approachable. I personally cannot fault anything that we had, and every aspect was top quality. I would certainly recommend a visit if you're looking for a fantastic Sunday roast—but make sure you come hungry!”

“Tasty food, generous portions, nice cold beer and some free entertainment.”

“First experience here.. really big venue and friendly staff. But massive shout out to James who was friendly and accommodating :) .”

“Very good food and service if ur in Cardiff well worth a visit”

“So many people out and about after watching a Rugby match in Cardiff City center”

“best live music and nightclub In the valley”

“Always the friendliest staff, beautiful tasting food which is very good value for money and it’s all for a good cause. A lovely place to sit, relax and have a beautiful curry. I keep coming back again and again!”

“Great micropub with an excellent range of beers and ciders from casks, cans and bottles. Martin and Diane run a fabulous, welcoming place, with friendly regulars. There's also the infamous quiz most Monday evenings, with Martin's fiendish questions - particularly the specialist subjects.”

“Amazing find in the middle of the neighborhood! Delicious food, lovely staff and the most amazing flat white I've ever had. Definitely coming back”

“Stopped off here on our way through Cardiff. Hadn’t been hoping for too much as it was only a quick visit, but walking in and seeing all those fridges — freshly stocked — we ended up staying longer and getting a few cans to take away too. It’s not often you see a shop look after the their stock so well, clearly proud of it. And when another person came in looking for recommendations, I could hear the owner absolutely knew what he was talking about. On draft was a great mix of styles, from breweries local and far. Very reasonably priced and served perfectly. Definitely worth more than a brief stop next time.”

“We stayed one night to do the vineyard tour and tasting We decided to have lunch before hand, and it was so lovely to enjoy the sunshine and try some wines before hand. The lunch menu was extensive and the food was beautifully presented and very flavoursome with garnishes that complimented the dishes perfectly. We also join the restaurant for Dinner and again were not disappointed. My partner even had a birthday dessert cheesecake. Nothing was too much for trouble for any of the serving staff and the gentleman who greeted us was outstanding throughout our whole stay, unfortunately we didn't get his name.”

“Best pint of guinnes in newport by far. Me and my auntie are fussy guiness dri kers, it's like drinking cream”

“What an amazing place! Great selection of drinks, great atmosphere and a real joy of a venue for live music! It's personal, joyous and bloody wonderfully unique.”

“This was a fantastic find! We were doing the pier to pier cycle coming from Clevedon. We were a bit worn out and needed food and cider. Came across this pub and it didn't disappoint! My partner is a coeliac and they do loads of gluten free options which was amazing! Really friendly staff, was spot on!”

“This pub is fantastic. I had such a good evening/night here. The atmosphere was brilliant, the staff and owner Gareth were all great and made me feel very welcome (even though I wasn't drinking!) There was live music last night and people queuing to get in, they have various things going on and a huge array of locals from all walks of life; young and old. I highly recommend a visit you won't be disappointed. John and Gareth I look forward to seeing you soon...keep that water coming!”

“Absolutely great place. The beers on tap are always changing so there is always something new to try. They have lots of other drinks too including amazing coffee. The staff are amazing and nothing is too much trouble. They don't do food as such but have snacks and best of all they don't mind you taking in your own food and as Asda is so close a picky dinner is always a good option. I love the fact they allow dogs in, make for such a nice and relaxed atmosphere.”

“We had a lovely event. Thank you for venue that you given us.”

“Motel Nights was the perfect venue for my baby shower. We decorated it with lots of pink balloons, flowers and cake, and the staff (especially April!) were super helpful and accommodating. Everyone loved the cocktails and tunes. Thanks again guys!!”

“My all time favourite for their welsh breakfast Italian style .. and it’s different every day … Can never get bored.. lovely coffee and even better service. Been visiting them for years .. ♥️♥️♥️”

“We had the absolute pleasure of dining at this Italian restaurant, and I can honestly say it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that instantly made us feel at home. The food was simply outstanding – every dish was bursting with authentic flavors and prepared with so much care and passion. The pasta was perfectly cooked, the sauces were rich and full of depth, and the pizza tasted just like in Italy – fresh, flavorful, and made with the finest ingredients. Don’t even get me started on the desserts – the tiramisu was heavenly! The service was exceptional – attentive, friendly, and genuinely eager to make sure we had the best possible time. You can really feel that this place puts their heart into everything they do. If you’re looking for a place that combines true Italian soul with top-quality food and a wonderful atmosphere, look no further. This restaurant is an absolute gem, and we can’t wait to come back again and again!”

“Had a wonderful meal. We had burgers, which were absolutely delicious. The service was amazing. Loved it. The atmosphere was really nice.”

“Absolutely amazing food. The smoke house comes highly recommended for food quality, service and price. We will be coming back next time we are in Cardiff.”

“Great food and service. Really pleased with the GF options for my vegetarian coeliac daughter. Fantastic place with something for everyone. Highly recommend.”

“Nartnapa was a wonderful find! My friend and I were staying the night just next to the restaurant, at Sunny Lyn Holiday Park, while hiking the South West Coast Path. Having walked 20 miles that day, we didn't want to have to walk down (and up again) the big hill into Lynmouth, so we took a chance and popped our heads in at Nartnapa to see if they could fit us in for dinner that night. We were greeted with smiling faces and confirmation that they could seat us. The ambience was happy yet calm, with lots of other satisfied customers already enjoying their food. Our meals were delicious (prawn green curry and pad Thai), and the sticky toffee puddings afterwards really hit the spot. This restaurant is more than just "convenient if staying at Sunny Lyn" - it would be worth a special trip just to enjoy the menu and friendly service.”

“Absolutely stunning food. Often get takeaways however will definitely be going to the restaurant again as is a lovely place.”
