Whether their cocktail list raises an eyebrow or their entertainment options are out of this world, here's our list of the best alternative bars in Cardiff.
A restaurant and wine bar in Victoria Park, this chic little spot on the corner of Cowbridge East has been earning itself quite the reputation. Alongside a delectable range of seasonal small plates made from only the finest Welsh ingredients, the bar serves a cleverly curated menu of biodynamic wines, on tap and by the glass.
While The Cosy Club might have found a home in one of the more contemporary areas of the city, but the insides are capital R Retro. Faded portraits line the walls, there's lamps that belong in a different century and more taxidermy than a hunter's lodge. Grab a burger, one of their sweet cocktails, and relax in this alternative bar in Cardiff.

With interiors that nod to the industrial era, a massive rotation of excellent brews and some of the best burgers in the city, it's got a hint of weird, and a whole lot of wonderful.
