  • 4/5 Paul B. 2 years ago on Google
    Possibly the best happy hour in Cardiff. 241 cocktails between 4 and 7. Some of the cocktails were a bit odd, but plenty of good ones on the menu. Loads of outdoor seating which becomes covered if it starts raining. Order via website works pretty well, staff nice and friendly.

    Absolutely shocking experience. We popped in just for a couple of glasses of wine on Sunday evening, after Xmas shopping. We waited for ages before we could place the order. We ordered a Malbec- tested like a red vinegar. Came in dirty glasses with lips printed on the glass from previous user.. asked for the clean glassโ€ฆcame with a fuss..not much cleaner. Avoid guys, shocking experience!

    Service was 'challenging'. Maybe someone's first day on the job? The food was nice, a bit cold but tasted good. We visited during international rugby game day, so maybe the staff were overwhelmed? Anyhow, best not to tell customers who ask for a receipt "no, I need to keep it" ๐Ÿ˜‚

    Had a fantastic night in Cardiff, this bar was the highlight of the night. For what was a very busy night in Cardiff. I heard people complaining unnecessarily to the hard working staff. The cocktails where brilliant and the staff where tremendous while working under pressure. The 2 people that appeared to be a managers where showing great professionalism.

    We went for a hen party in Peppermint and did the cocktail masterclass, we had the best time!!! Brad was absolutely fantastic with us and such a good teacher, we had a really lovely time, made so many great cocktails and the buffet we had was absolutely gorgeous. Thank you so much!

    We ordered the beer/cider alcohol package well in advance to secure our seats. We ordered Peroni, Corona and Kopperberg... When we sat at the outside table, they advised that they had no Peroni or Kopperberg. We were given Corona and Old Mout cider. I'm not a fan of either of those and was looking forward to the Peroni. 1 heater that we had near us was broken so half of our group was sat in the cold. The toilets are up a few flights of stairs which isn't ideal. To be fair, I would probably come back again as the place seemed quite lively and the music was awesome too.

  • 3/5 Huw R. 9 months ago on Google
    Called in for food and drink. Both were okay but somewhat limited menu. A little pricey and service could have been a bit quicker.

  • 5/5 Romi R. 10 months ago on Google
    Really good happy hour deal, 2-4-1 cocktails. Welcoming staff and a large food menu! Overall 10/10 experience coming here, will definitely be back!

  • 5/5 Jennifer M. 10 months ago on Google
    Definitely recommend visiting peppermint Cardiff! Itโ€™s got a lovely garden setting for day drinking and converts into a club scene at night. The staff are extremely accommodating & friendly, the signature cocktail menu is absolutely delicious!๐Ÿ’š

    The cocktails here are great and at such a reasonable price especially during the Happy Hour!! The waitress who catered for me and my friends really made the night :) Would 100% recommend coming here to anyone

  • 5/5 Jade H. 9 months ago on Google
    Jack and Joe were great for our cocktail making class, offered us good cocktails and deserve a pay rise and promotion. Would recommend

  • 5/5 Nick M. 9 months ago on Google
    Peppermint Bar in Cardiff provided an outstanding experience that I thoroughly enjoyed. Bartender Joe was the star of the show, impressing me with his mixology skills and warm personality. He expertly crafted delicious cocktails while offering personalized recommendations. The bar's ambiance was stylish and inviting, and the overall service was top-notch. I highly recommend visiting Peppermint Bar, especially when Joe is behind the bar. You won't be disappointed!

    Came here last Saturday with a group of friends, the place has a great and very welcoming atmosphere. Shoutout to Joe in particular who gave us some fantastic suggestions and made us some lovely cocktails! Would definitely go back again! :D

    First time in Cardiff, recommended peppermint by a mate and it did not disappoint, spent most the night getting served by Joe who was an ace lad! Atmosphere was good, good drinks, be back soon.

  • 4/5 Anastasia H. 9 months ago on Google
    Me and my friend went yesterday. We didnt have a reservation but were accommodated, I was served by a gentleman named joe. He was very friendly and advised us on what food was best. It was our first time in the area and joe made us feel very welcomed to the place. Definitely would come again as the food was lovely and was made fast from when we ordered.

    Staff were really chatty, welcoming and friendly. We were served by Milly and another girl (didnโ€™t catch her name) last night. Order was taken promptly and they kept checking that everything was ok and if we needed anything else. Arrived without booking and was given a table straight away. Food was also good and reasonably priced, would return.

  • 4/5 Lynn G. 4 months ago on Google
    Service was slow but the staff were so nice about it ,it made it better !! Jack particularly stood out as being everything you would need in a crisis. He was calm, polite and couldn't do enough to help when I was panicking because we had a train to catch. Thank you Jack. The food was lovely and worth the wait!

  • 5/5 Will. T. 4 months ago on Google
    The food was really nice and well worth the price. The workers are really polite and very well presented. Out waiters name was Alex and he was such a good vibe to out night. Well worth coming back for seconds ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

  • 5/5 The Helpless B. 5 months ago on Google
    Had a fantastic afternoon here today. Food was absolutely on point and the service exceptional. Special mention for Milly, who was continuously attentive and made sure we were always OK for drinks etc. Her level of service was unbelievable and a credit to the team. Can only recommend and will definitely return.

    Sat outside had a lunch of burger and chips very pleasant and nice staff

  • 5/5 Zoe K. 2 years ago on Google
    Booked a cocktail making workshop for a friends birthday and it was absolutely fantastic. 4 cocktails + 3 shots + a glass of prosecco per person, as well as a personal bartender to teach you how to make the drinks! Drinks were amazing and the bartender was attentive within being overbearing and recommended cocktails based on what we said we like. 10/10 recommend, absolutely phenomenal workshop, definitely worth the price.

  • 1/5 terence n. 2 years ago on Google
    Never thought me and my friends would be denied entry simply because of the fact we are males. We were told they were only letting females in now because there was too many males and they didn't have enough bouncers on that night. But we genuinely couldn't see one guy in there at all. We thought we'd go somewhere else but tried coning back 2 hours later and again they were letting the girls infront of us go in and the girls behind us but not us or any other males. Absolutely shocking

  • 4/5 Chris H. 2 years ago on Google
    Popped in for mid-week drinks after work one evening. Plenty of space with a large outdoor seating area. Not too busy and nice quick service

  • 3/5 Avril F. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely helpful staff, food could be better, I don't like McDonald's chips.

  • 4/5 Jayne W. 2 years ago on Google
    Food and drinks took a really long time to come out

  • 3/5 sarah s. 2 years ago on Google
    Came here last Saturday afternoon, ordered a pizza and the steak strips and fries. And drinks. The pizza came out after a very short time, served with just a pizza cutter no cutlery. Had to then wait another 20 minutes for the other meal of steak and fries to arrive. So we got to watch each other eat, not at the same time. Fries were cold, so very disappointed with the food. Cocktails were ok, wouldn't rush back

  • 4/5 holly w. 2 years ago on Google
    Some cocktails had way too much ice and just tasted of water but they do amazing martinis. They have a cocktail menu on the table but you can request any cocktail st the bar and they were very good

  • 5/5 Charly S. 2 years ago on Google
    Our go to place when we visit Cardiff. Cocktails are amazing. Service can be a little slow on a weekend but that's to be expected. Perfect place for a date or pre night out drinks

  • 4/5 Paula R. 2 years ago on Google
    Our server was so attentive, we were never without a cocktail! Very clean however none of the servers were wearing masks, nor did I see any of them sanitising their hands. I found this to be a little unsettling so I'm giving 4 stars not 5. Shame.....

  • 4/5 Gregory C. 1 year ago on Google
    Was having a horrid experience here with extremely rude staff who claimed to be managers/seniors and was too busy on their phones and talking away as if they wasnโ€™t working. Luckily my mood was saved by one bartender who pulled out all the stops for me and would be the sole reason I return. I have forgotten his name but has a lovely tiger tattoo

  • 2/5 Devon-Marie J. 1 year ago on Google
    Food wasnโ€™t too bad and drinks were pretty tasty as well. They managed to fit us in for a walk in and this was just after lockdown. Drinks took absolutely ages to arrive and one Of us had only ordered a pineapple juice.

  • 5/5 Aimee L. 2 years ago on Google
    Went here for birthday drinks on a quiet Tuesday night, table of 4. Drinks were good and also had a free bottle of prosecco. The lady offered us table service which came in handy because we drunk loads. Half way through the same lady came over with a sparkler and a shot for the birthday boy. His face was a picture. Had a really good night. She really made us feel welcome and couldn't do enough. Didn't catch her name but she had curly dark hair. Her customer service was on point.

  • 5/5 Dave J. 1 year ago on Google
    We where in Cardiff to watch a concert and found this little gem of a bar. My partner enjoyed the variety of cocktails on the menu and tried them all! ๐Ÿน๐Ÿธ๐Ÿน๐Ÿธ We ordered food which was on a reduced menu due to the concert, we chose the tapas and we were delighted when it came out and tasted as good as it looked.

  • 5/5 Graham T. 1 year ago on Google
    Visiting for a concert and found this brilliant bar, the cocktails and service where suburb... couldn't fault how hard the staff where working trying to make sure customers where happy. Well done for the hard work during a very busy time. Especially the manager.

  • 5/5 Alan C. 1 year ago on Google
    Went here for a work Christmas do. We had the 1st floor to ourselves, everyone had a good time. The price for the "buffet and drinks" was slightly on the expensive side at ยฃ25 but the food was good. Bar staff had to be prompted to hand out the welcome drinks at the end of the night but overall good experience. Would definitely try booking again next year.

  • 4/5 Cognomen A. 1 year ago on Google
    The venue was ok, had dry ish outdoor space, and had a fairly big inside area. The private bar upstairs was empty and so I think that could have been better utilised. Food and drinks were good, but as is the case nowadays, it costs a few ยฃ's just for a few drinks and some light snacks...๐Ÿซฃ. Would I go back again? ...yes, I may run a group pay pot so no one is hit with a big bill at the end...๐Ÿค”

  • 3/5 Marilou P. 1 year ago on Google
    Well staffed in terms of security, ยฃ5 entrance which I thought steep or maybe unnecessary as it's not a club. As the night progress, gets heavily packed, bottles on the floor, broken glass which thankfully was swept away. Drinks wise, unsure as I had only an ipa, and soda and lime, music acceptable for dancing

  • 1/5 Samir S. 2 years ago on Google
    Security wouldnโ€™t let my group in because they couldnโ€™t prove Covid status when they was under 16. Its a restaurant familyโ€™s should be able to eat too!

  • 4/5 Liz C. 1 year ago on Google
    Really like this place for cocktails. Happy hour all day so cocktails work out about ยฃ5 each and they pack a punch. Not weak at all which is sometimes the case on 241 cocktails. Best Ive had.
