Whether you're a Gatsby nut, a Peaky Blinders enthusiast or just looking for something more off the beaten path, these Cardiff speakeasy bars may have just what you're looking for in a night out. Offering state-of-the-art cocktails twinned with vintage and dim-lit interiors, they're bringing a little extra mystery to your evening plans.




The Bootlegger Cardiff

With a vintage aesthetic and some of the best happy hour deals in Cardiff, The Bootlegger is all about bringing the more raucous side of prohibition to the fore. Head down to Womanby Street where you'll find fun retro interiors, a swing soundtrack and a mammoth selection of cocktails to get going on.

Their summer drinks menu features six limited-edition cocktails, available until 11pm each day. Think Malibu Coconut Mojitos, a Honey and Ginger Penicillin and other seasonal favourites, all costing £9.50.
