You might usually associate bars with raucous behaviour and late nights, but not always, as Cardiff has a rich selection of child-friendly bars and restaurants. Whether you're babysitting or on a family day out, check out Cardiff's family friendly bars and check yourself in for drinks, dinner and maybe even a spot of dancing.




Cosy Club Cardiff

Perched above St David's on Hills Street, Cosy Club Cardiff is a vibrant mix of grandeur and eccentricity - think velvet armchairs, mismatched chandeliers and walls lined with vintage portraits. From 9am, enjoy brunch favourites like smashed avocado on sourdough, American pancake stacks or a full breakfast, served until 4pm. Lunch and dinner bring small plates for sharing, hearty mains such as Thai green curry (with a tofu option), king prawn linguine, and indulgent burgers including a plant-based smash burger.

There's also a dedicated vegan selection, dedicated gluten-free menus, a children's menu and cocktails that range from classics to creative signatures. Families are welcome, with children allowed on the premises until early evening, making it an easy choice for relaxed dining at any time of day. Find the same experience at the Cardiff Bay location too.

The Botanist, Cardiff Central

£8.95 Lunch Menu and 1 other offer

The Botanist Cardiff proves that stylish doesn't have to mean grown-up only. Parents can enjoy a quality cocktail while little ones feast from the Little Gardeners menu, a fun, build-your-own format that offers a main, two sides and a drink.

From falafel bites to halloumi, couscous to fruit pots, it's surprisingly varied and impressively wholesome. Add in puds like rainbow fruit lollies and brownie sundaes, and you've got a kids' menu that actually feels thoughtful.

Flight Club Cardiff

Are bar your kids will actually want you to take them to? Introduce the little ones to the world of interactive darts with a trip to Flight Club in Cardiff. Watch their jaws drop at the fairground-themed decor, before they're left speechless by the high-tech dart boards. Play a few rounds and potentially lose to a teenager as you make your way through multiple game modes and try to land on target. 

Family-friendly sessions are on selected days of the week, and end at around 4:30pm – plenty of time to show the kids how it's done and make some fun memories.
