Clubs, bars and pubs

Cardiff is renowned for its boisterous nightlife. If you’re looking for a traditional messy night out, then head down St Mary Street, home to stag and hen parties. From about eleven pm onwards, you’ll find a lot of people staggering down the pavements. The classic venues down St Mary’s include Aqua, Life, Liquid, K2 and Reflex.

If you’re into mainstream trance, party, house or dance music, check out the clubs Oceana, Live Lounge, Creation, Exit Club and Molokos.

Alternative clubs include Clwb Ifor Bach, Barfly, Twisted by Design, Bogiez and Metros.

If you’re after a bite to eat before a night on the town, we have plenty of restaurants to recommend.
