Alcotraz Cardiff: Cell Block Nine-One

@ Alcotraz Penitentiary: Cardiff on Various dates from Wednesday 4th December 2024

For a hen do behind bars, head to Alcotraz: Cell Block Nine-One, a secret speakeasy prison inspired by Hollywood movies and TV. If you can smuggle liquor past the warden then you'll be in for a night of fun as the 'serving' inmates will whip up a range of bespoke cocktails straight to your cell.

Tonight Josephine Cardiff

The ultimate hen do hangout? I think we've found it. Tonight Josephine is not just one of the most fabulous, sassiest bars around, it's also home to quite the cocktail menu. Plus, you can make them bottomless at a range of themed brunches, from Harry Styles to Beyonce.

The Dead Canary

Cheap drinks and cheesy tunes aren't for everybody, and The Dead Canary is for those groups seeking something completely different to the usual hen party set-up. One of the city's coolest venues, bring your girls along for top of the range cocktails made up of ingredients muddled up in their on-site lab. There's table service and a live playlist of jazz, folk and 50's inspired tunes to enjoy in Grade II-listed comfort - definitely one to consider for those seeking alternative hen party ideas in Cardiff.

Boho Club

Groove to the music, sip expertly crafted cocktails and create unforgettable memories at Boho Club on St Marys Street. This eclectic event space is located beneath the Cardiff Market and plays a variety of music on its state-of-the-art sound system, ranging from house to R&B, to keep you dancing all night long.

Be At One Cardiff

Be At One? More like Be At Fun (really sorry). Terrible wordplays aside, this buzzing cocktail bar would make an excellent hen do destination. The cocktail masterclass is one of the best hen do activities Cardiff has to offer, or you could just book out an area and spoil the bride-to-be with luscious drinks from their extensive back bar. Happy Hour runs from 2pm to 7pm which should set you up just right for a big Saturday night on the town!

Popworld Cardiff

With cheesy tunes, jagerbombs aplenty and bookable private booths, it's almost as though Popworld was tailor-made for Cardiff hen do groups. This is the place to let your wild side run free; a nightclub with candy-coloured walls and a light up dance floor for when you inevitably end up cutting shapes to the Macarena later. With lots of great bars and clubs nearby, why not tie this one in as part of a hen party bar crawl through town?

Active Reality Cardiff Eastern

With venues in Llanrumney and Llanishen, Active Reality is making sure you can get your fix of VR in a hen do activity that's anything but ordinary. Groups of up to six can play at any one time in the free-roam arena, but larger groups can also book and rotate playing times. Think being transported to another, extraordinary world to battle zombies in a mansion, enjoy Kitchen Panic and get out of an escape room on the moon.

Coyote Ugly Cardiff

Saddle up and make your way to Coyote Ugly in the city centre: a Nashville-inspired bar that hosts a lineup of wild weekly events. You can enjoy dancing lessons on Saturdays, including a mimosa reception, which will teach you all the best moves to use later on.

They also offer bottomless brunches every single day, including 90 minutes of unlimited pizza, prosecco and beer - costing as little as £25 each.

Heidi’s Bier Bar Cardiff

Nobody knows how to get the party started more than Heidi's Beer Bar, situated on Mill Lane in the city centre. Open until 3am every single night, you can expect a lively atmosphere and DJs getting you on the dancefloor with a mix of German, Scandinavian and international tunes.

You can hire out an entire floor to yourselves for big groups, or just hit the main bar to enjoy cocktails and real ale. What's more, they also offer themed bottomless brunches, quiz nights and cocktail masterclasses.

The Cosy Club Cardiff

A hen night in Cardiff needn't be all about the cocktail bars and the glamorous clubs, either. There's also lots of tasty spots to head for dinner as well, and The Cosy Club would make a great spot to get the shenanigans started. This popular restaurant offers a party menu where you and your girls can enjoy tapas to share and a main meal for £17.95, before heading on to check out the city centre's various drinking dens.
