Title: Cardiff bay Post by: THE FLASH on Friday, December 7, 2012, 19:23:30 I'm off there tomorrow and missing the game....stopping overnight.
Any tips? Tips and abuse welcome! Title: Re: Cardiff bay Post by: Dostoyevsky on Friday, December 7, 2012, 19:35:28 My dad works there occasionally and I regret to say he is distinctly underwhelmed by the development, think swanky yet souless riverside apartment blocks, with the inevitable collection of trendy chain bars/clubs. Not to be reccommended, head on up to Merthyr for a lovely welcome and a more spit and sawdust (or should that be coaldust)ambience. Hope that helps :(

Hope that helps flash Title: Re: Cardiff bay Post by: gingernuggets on Friday, December 7, 2012, 19:52:17 Agreed, I dropped in there for my brother's stag do earlier this year it seemed fairly identikit with the likes of Nandos, Strada etc and standard bars. I quickly recommended heading up into town to the life and soul of the town.
Get in and around St Mary's street and you can't go wrong. Title: Re: Cardiff bay Post by: pumbaa on Friday, December 7, 2012, 20:28:16 Its nice enough, but very much agree with gingernuggets assessment of the area.
I recommend Cafe Calcio. Its near the university, and does something called the Fat Bastard breakfast. 3 of everything for 10 quid, and if you eat the lot, its free! (No I've not tried, let alone succeeded....). I'll let others advice on pubs etc. |
