    The theatre of dreams. Was my local watering hole at university. Great drink prices with the usual taps you’d expect in a pub - plus an extra five taps with guest craft beers. Food menu has been shaken up a bit but still good good. Usually has activities going on throughout the week, and for the weekend it’s great to watch sport. Lots of seating inside and limited outside seating.

    Visited twice on the past weekend. Saturday 3rd September, over 2 1/2 hours for a cold burger. Sunday 4th, ordered wings at 12.30am and asked for updates 4/5 times then at 3am I get told they were brought out and someone else must have taken them. Absolute shambles of a place. Not a good place to host an event.

    Poor customer service. Unreasonable prices. Terrible music venue. Ads playing everywhere you look, for some reason?

    All the staff are friendly and welcoming, great range of drinks, especially the cocktails!!! Always love the selection of rotating craft beers, a big fan of their Sunday pub quiz and their Thursday karaoke nights which I attend regularly! 🕺🥳🍾

    Amazing pub, great service, Jess, Finn, Georgie and George were amazing!

  • 1/5 Lucy B. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely appalling service! A table was booked through the website. Turned up no table prepared. Put underneath a TV and told pull the table out if you like but don't block the food coming out of the kitchen. Told by a member of staff that the booking was written down but no table set so put on a table that has already been reserved but asked to leave when the original table booking arrives. Really would not recommend this place as staff were completely unhelpful and not at all interested when we said we were unhappy

  • 4/5 Jeanette Louise M. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic place to watch sports events! They were very accommodating, and the food was stellar. That said, need more tables. Or make table booking clear with the event organisers they work with: we didn't know tables needed to be booked so we were on a corner table. That said? Didn't ruin the experience one iota. Even the corner tables next to the stairs (notoriously bad seating at every other pub) had a screen directly in view.

    nice little bar, good options on drinks, seen easy life at an afterparty there so that’s a bonus

  • 2/5 Chris 10 months ago on Google
    One of the worst student venues in Cardiff. The drinks can be reasonably priced but the place is an absolute mess. The men's urinal trough is constantly over flowing with 100s of peoples urine because it keeps getting blocked. Certain staff can be rude and unaccommodating to peoples needs. Floors are disgusting and not regularly cleaned so you're either sticking to the floor or slipping on it. Music choice is below average if they even decide to turn it on. Make the 10 minute journey in to Cardiff centre and you will find many better establishments. If you end up here you're more than likely scraping the bottom of the barrel.

    Did a bottomless brunch with tom. Service was perfect. Staff were lovely and speedy with drinks. An all round perfect experience.

  • 1/5 Laura N. 5 months ago on Google
    Me and my friends went here for brunch on Sunday morning when everywhere else in this area was packed while Gassy’s was empty… the reason for this later made sense to us 😅 Tried to order through the app initially and I wouldn’t need to leave this review if I’d been able to, but for some reason there’s no breakfast/brunch on there so I couldn’t. I wasn’t really hungry and the other brunch options are very limited and didn’t appeal to me so I just wanted a few of the add on options, like hash browns and an egg, so I asked the man at the bar if I could order this and he told me I couldn’t. Disappointed by this, I ordered a breakfast butty instead. When our food arrived, I found out one of my friends had done almost exactly what I wanted to do and had actually been allowed. I asked the bar man why this was and apparently because of the way I’d worded my request, he’d misunderstood what I wanted to do, but hadn’t asked any further questions to clarify or try to get me what I wanted. After having to go back and forth with him for a while in a really awkward and what I felt was a rude encounter that I haven’t had to have with someone in hospitality, he eventually apologised in what felt like a really insincere way. I ended up paying £6 for a bacon, egg and cheese (I don’t know if the cheese was from a tube or just entirely melted, but it was orange and tasted really cheap and fake) made with pre-sliced white mass manufactured bread… If I’m going to pay £6 for a breakfast sandwich, I’d at least want it to be made with nice bread like some sourdough or a nice bun. Also one of my friends ended up having cheese in her butty that she hadn’t expected because it wasn’t listed on the menu and she is lactose intolerant.

    Jess and Harry were absolutely amazing for my birthday bottomless brunch! Came in and there were birthday balloons on the table which was so so sweet of them! Couldn’t fault the service at all so quick and the drinks were amazing. Thank you so much Jess and Harry for making my 20th!

    Well I didnt visit for freshers of student drinks but a date after a lecture as a mature student but I must say. If I was a young student this would be the place to be. Music, karaoke, decent dried drinks and central location

  • 5/5 Vanessa E. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing service! Kat was very attentive and made sure everyone was having an amazing time while delivering drinks promptly. I can’t wait to come back!

  • 5/5 Leanne C. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Robin W. 2 years ago on Google
    Food and drinks ordered using an easy-to-use app, arrived quickly and tasted good. Atmosphere was fantastic and there are plenty of screens to watch football, rugby etc. Staff were great, handled a very busy pub very well. Overall a really enjoyable experience and I will be returning!

  • 5/5 Lucy W. 2 years ago on Google
    Thomas- my server- well, what can I say? Sensational. Never been served like this before, honestly, so lush. Not only served with a smile but with the genuine warmth and wholesomeness of a baby koala. Felt so at home, like all my worries and cares melted away like canyfloss in a puddle. I would live here if I could, couldn’t have asked for a better experience. So blessed.

    If you're new in town and you're a student, head here for a free drink. You have to sign up to their program using the qr code at the door. A lovely little place with really friendly staff, I might just return to say a hello and have a good drink here since it's close to my place.

  • 4/5 Robert S. 2 years ago on Google
    Fanatic place, love it here. Good music, good prices and nice staff. Only thing that stopped me making this 5 starts was the hassle my partner had asking for a mocktial. Should be provided in this generation plus I'm ex bar staff its just "don't add the alcohol" Part from that 100% recommend this place ... don't go to misfits.

  • 5/5 Lily R. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Chloe T. 1 year ago on Google
    Jess and Harry were so amazing! They had great customer service and were just so lovely. Was there for a bottomless and always made sure our glasses were full! Great experience!

  • 5/5 Jonathan Owen P. 2 years ago on Google
    Popped in whilst back visiting family, what a great experience. I ordered the peri peri chicken wings, they were fantastic and wash down with a few pints of WRU IPA. The atmosphere was great and I loved the music, couple all this with a game of killer on the pool table made it a night to remember. I'll definitely be returning and recommending.

  • 5/5 alex t. 2 years ago on Google
