We find the venue lovely and staff lovely. We go to a lot of gigs and the drinks are the most expensive by far. £7.50 For the small bottle of San Miguel. Over £3 for a bottle of water. You see the prices they advertis for students so they are basically ripping the other public off. Shouldn't be allowed and should be banned. Think they could alao do with tweaking the balancing of music, the people in accessibility and not catered for they factor this in

First gig here and it was amazing. There were some issues at the bar but it was resolved so quickly before the crowds got bigger.

My first time visiting this venue the other day for a you me at six gig. Easy location to find. Clean and has a bar for refreshments. The staff and security are some of the best I’ve ever come across at a gig venue, with a special thanks and shout out to Tom who was super helpful, kind and considerate. Thank you!

I saw You Me At Six here last week. Venue is small so you get a good view from wherever you are. Well organised and plenty of staff around ushering people in. A double spirit and soft drink was £7.20 I think which is to be expected at a concert/gig venue. Quick to exit out after the show which was great.

The two-hour tour with Dave in Cardiff city exceeded our expectations. Dave was an excellent guide—knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about the city’s history and culture. He managed to cover all the key highlights within the time we had, providing fascinating insights and making the experience thoroughly enjoyable. We appreciated how well-paced and well-organized the tour was. It was the perfect way to explore Cardiff in just two hours. Highly recommended!

Spacious and clean with a great atmosphere and sound system. Bars both down in the main hall and up on the balcony although the drinks were overpriced and the bar staff were not great and had to be coached through the order. Convenient location with links to public transport although parking might be a bit of a struggle.
